The makers of director Satish's upcoming
romantic entertainer
, Kiss, featuring actor

in the lead, on Wednesday announced that the film would release in July this year.
The film's producer Raahul of Romeo Pictures took to his X timeline to make the announcement. He wrote, "This is to leave an imprint, #KISS you in July #KissFromJuly."
Kiss, which was originally expected to release in March this year, has triggered great interest as it is being directed by well known dance choreographer Satish and features as female lead

It may be recalled that producer Raahul had, in January this year, officially announced that the film had been wrapped up. The producer had then said, "Cut... the cake because it's a wrap for #Kavin's next & #RomeoPictures4. Releasing in theatres this March! What a fun ride it has been working with the super talented @kavin_m_0431 @dancersatz & @dop_harish. Waiting for everyone to see the magic you both have created. Special thanks to dear @jenmartinmusic @peterheinofflsir, Thank you for giving us extraordinary stunts. Thank you Art director #MohanMahendiran sir for your constant support. @preethiasrani_ @editorrcpranav @teamaimpr @thetabsofficial."
Here's how Vijay Varma reacted when Tamannaah Bhatia told him he would be her first on-screen kiss
The film has stunts by
Peter Hein
and cinematography by Harish.
Mohan Mahendiran
has taken care of the art direction department and Pranav is in charge of editing.
A teaser released earlier by the unit showed Kavin playing a guy who is extremely violent in the film, with an aversion for romance and love. His aversion is so much that he even shuts a shop in order to protest Valentine's Day. The teaser ends with Preeti Asrani taking a romantic interest in Kavin and asking him to tell her about his first kiss...
For Kavin, a lot will be riding on this film as his previous film director Sivabalan Muthukumar's 'Bloody Beggar', did not fare all that well at the box office. 'Bloody Beggar' was produced by Kavin's close friend director Nelson Dilipkumar under his production company Filament Pictures.

Rana Naidu 2 actor Rana Daggubati on online negativity against cinema: Art has to disturb those who are comfortable
Actor Rana Daggubati, who recently returned with season 2 of the web show Rana Naidu, continues to balance his presence between the big screen and the OTT space. No stranger to long-form storytelling - having made his streaming debut in 2023 - Rana says he has developed a measured understanding of cynicism often disguised as opinion - and how to rise above it. 'Art has to disturb the guys who are comfortable and create some kind of satisfaction to those who are disturbed and I believe in that,' says Rana, as he goes on to talk about online trolling. Rana Daggubati takes on trolls and shares with negativity. Sharing how he remains unfazed by online negativity, the 40-year-old says, 'Commenting is everybody's job and social media is a real thing. Everyone feels the need to say something and that necessarily doesn't have to be right or wrong - it's just someone's opinion.' Also Read| Exclusive| Rana Naidu 2 actor Rana Daggubati: Globally, theatres are on a decline Rana, who has worked across the Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi film industries, is well-versed in the different cultural expectations and the varied emotional responses of audiences when a film falls short of those expectations. 'When you take the size of a country like ours, the cultural understanding of people is very different,' Rana says. Recalling his experiences promoting films across India, he adds, 'We travel so many kilometers with a sense of what they (audience) understand, and it can be very different from how we choose to live our own lives.' He acknowledges that in a country as vast and diverse as India, different opinions are inevitable and one should take it in their stride. 'It just gives us a sense of understanding of those people because our jobs will not change. I have been doing this for 15 years and I will continue to do it,' he says before signing off, 'As creators, it's our job to say, 'Here's a story, let's see how many people it reaches.' That's what we need to focus on.'

'I don't ever want to lose Sonam and Dhanush," said Aanand L Rai; Revisiting 'Raanjhanaa' as 'Kuberaa' releases
In 2013, the movie 'Raanjhanaa' was not just a film; it was a cultural mood. Directed by 'Aanand L. Rai,' it introduced ' Dhanush ' to Hindi cinema and gave ' Sonam Kapoor ' one of her most emotionally layered roles. The film has reached its 12-year milestone. Kundan and Zoya The movie was set against the vibrant chaos of Banaras. 'Raanjhanaa' told the story of Kundan, played by Dhanush, a Hindu boy hopelessly in love with Zoya, portrayed by Sonam Kapoor, who was a Muslim girl with dreams far beyond her hometown. Their love was utterly messy, one-sided, and ultimately tragic but at the end felt real. Dhanush's vulnerability and Sonam's quiet strength made the film unforgettable. The film's recent 12-year anniversary was marked by a special screening in Mumbai, attended by Dhanush, director Aanand L. Rai, and other cast members. Though Sonam couldn't attend in person, she joined the celebration online, resharing clips and tributes that overflew social media. Rai's heartfelt words in an old interview with The Indian Express still resonate: 'I don't ever want to lose Sonam and Dhanush'—a statement to the rare chemistry and emotional depth they brought to the screen. From Kundan to Deva in ' Kuberaa ' Now in 2025, Dhanush returns to Hindi cinema with 'Kuberaa,' a socio-political thriller directed by 'Sekhar Kammula.' Released on June 20, the film sees him as Deva, a beggar caught in a chaos of corruption and class war. The film also stars 'Nagarjuna' and 'Rashmika Mandanna,' and is set to stream on OTT in July. While 'Kuberaa' is far from the romantic idealism of 'Raanjhanaa,' both films showcase Dhanush's ability to humanise the marginalised. His journey from Kundan's heartbreak to Deva's rebellion is a dual change in emotional storytelling. Legacy and Continuity What makes 'Raanjhanaa' effective is not just because of its music or visuals; it's the honesty between its leads emotionally. Sonam and Dhanush, though from different worlds of cinema, created a bond that was felt through the screen. As Rai once said, 'They gave me more than performances—they gave me their hearts.' With 'Kuberaa' now capturing headlines and 'Raanjhanaa' still being in the hearts of fans, it's clear that some collaborations are not just cinematic; they are a deep mark on the souls.
