The Hindu
Directed by Praveen Sattaru, the action-thriller is slated to hit screens on October 5
A less-than-a-minute long teaser of Nagarjuna Akkineni’s upcoming film, The Ghost, has him wielding two katana swords and slicing through an oncoming gang of men, also wielding katanas, as a big red moon hovers over the scene. The short teaser, released on Saturday, has piqued the interests of the audience.
An action-thriller, The Ghost is directed by Praveen Sattaru. The film has Sonal Chauhan playing the female lead opposite Nagarjuna. The cast of the film also features Gul Panag, Anikha Surendran, Manish Chaudhari, Ravi Varma, and Shrikanth Iyyangar.
The Ghost has cinematography by Mukesh G, editing by Dharmendra Kakarala, and art direction by Brahma Kadali. Bharatt and Saurabh serve as music directors, while Dinesh Subbarayan and Kecha khamphakdee are the action choreographers.
Sree Venkateshwara Cinemas LLP and Northstar Entertainment, the film is slated to hit screens on October 5.

A vacuum cleaner haunted by a ghost is the kind of one-liner which can draw in a festival audience looking for a little light-hearted fun to fill the time slots available between the “heavier” films which require much closer attention. A useful ghost, the debut feature of Thai filmmaker Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke being screened in the world cinema category at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), even appears so in the initial hour. Until, the film becomes something more, with strong undercurrents of Thailand’s contemporary political history.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
