What happened to Indra Soundar Rajan, noted Tamil novelist, TV serial maker?- The Week
Tamil Nadu, saddened by the demise of noted film actor Delhi Ganesh, lost another talent on Sunday with the passing of noted writer Indra Soundar Rajan.
Known for works like “Marma Desam”, “Sorna Rekai”, “Vidadu Karupu” and “Rudra Veenai,” Soundar Rajan, who was also a spiritual speaker, was 66 years old.
As a writer, Indra Soundar Rajan was best known for his contributions to the horror-paranormal and mystery genre. His works inspired the making of television series and films.
Born on 13 November 1958 in Salem, Indra Soundar Rajan had written 700 short stories, some 340 novels and directed 105 TV serials. He wrote the screenplay for the 2007 period drama flick ‘Sringaram’ which won three honours at the 53rd National Film Awards and two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.
Some of his noted tele-serials include “Ragasiyam”, “Sivamayam”, “Puguntha Veedu”, “Marmadesam”, “Maayavettai” and “Kottai Purathu Veedu” among others. Some of these were adapted in Hindi like “Krishnadasi” and “Kaal Bhairav – Ek Naya Rahasya” and aired on popular channels like Colours and Star Bharat. No Tamil TV serial to date has beaten the record of his ‘”Marma Desam”, which is a five-part anthology, another report said.
Indra Soundar Rajan slipped and fell in the bathroom of his house in TVS Nagar Madurai, which ultimately led to his demise, Tamil news portals said. He was a cancer patient and was undergoing treatment, they added.
Soundar Rajan added the name of his mother as a prefix after turning a writer. He was employed by the TVS Group of Companies before becoming a full-time writer.

Tulisa keeps a very low profile as she lands in Australia ahead of I’m A Celebrity
TULISA attempted to keep a very low profile as she landed in Australia ahead of I’m A Celebrity.
The former N-dubz singer is one of a number of star names to sign on to compete in the long-running ITV challenge show.
Tulisa, 36, tried to completely disguise herself in a grey hoodie and matching tracksuit bottoms.
The former X Factor judge tried to cover her face with a black face mask as only her eyes were viable.
She further attempted to hide away as she donned a cream and pink baseball cap to further give her more cover.
Her hand luggage essentials were packed neatly in her small black leather rucksack which she wore over her back.
The star was accompanied by a burly bodyguard in a graphic grey t-shirt to help her with her suitcases through the arrivals terminal.
Aas she strode through the airport, the Live It Up singer played coy about potentially heading into the I’m A Celebrity jungle.
After arriving in Brisbane Airport, Tulisa jokingly remarked: “Any McDonald’s round here?
“Can’t go wrong with a Big Mac can ya?”
She said: “I’m not saying nothing, I hope you all have a lovely day though.”
Adding: “I hope you enjoy the Australian trip.”
Tulisa is not the first big name to land in Australia as a number of stars were spotted on the ground.
McFly‘s Danny Jones and Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall have also arrived down under ahead of the new series hosted by Ant and Dec.
After a long-haul flight, the 38-year-old Masked Singer winner touched down following his journey from London’s Heathrow Airport.
In a bid to keep his jungle stint under wraps, Danny told The Sun he was in the country to record a solo album.
I’m A Celebrity 2024
As the hit ITV show enters into its 24th series, a brand new batch of famous faces look set to enter the Aussie jungle once again to face terrifying Bushtucker Trials and living amongst the critters in camp in order to come out on top and be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle. The Sun’s Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars heading Down Under this year…
He wore an Oasis T-shirt as he remarked: “A bit of a hairy flight but it was perfect.”
Adding: “The McFly boys don’t know it, I’m here to do a solo album. They think I’m out here doing other things, but I’m here to do a solo album.”
Meanwhile, Alan’s flight landed a couple of hours later and he insisted he was in the country to play golf.
Asked if he was excited, Alan said: “I’m just here to play golf. That’s all I’m here for.
“I don’t know what all this is. Just a bit of golf for me.”
I’m A Celebrity returns to ITV1 and ITVX on November Sunday 17 November at 9pm.

Here are the latest Brazil D23 updates…- The Week
The much-awaited third instalment in director James Cameron’s hit Avatar movies, titled Avatar: Fire and Ash, was all the rage at the Disney D23 Brazil convention on Sunday, with the unveiling of new concept art. The event also saw major updates from the Disney arm Marvel Studios, as it gave us a new trailer for Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*.
The maker of Titanic joined the D23 event in Brazil through live video from New Zealand and provided five new pieces of early concept art from the 2025 slated Avatar 3. This movie follows the Sully family led by characters portrayed by Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington, and is set to introduce more creatures and clans to the diverse fictional world of Pandora. Avatar: Fire and Ash is expected to open to movie screens on December 19, 2025.
The second movie that released in 2022, Avatar: The Way of Water, was set 16 years after the events of the first movie, and it showed us what happened to Worthington’s Jake Sully and Saldana’s Neytiri. Fire and Ash will also see the return of Sigourney Weaver as Kiri, Jake and Neytiri’s adopted daughter, and Kate Winslet as spiritual leader Ronal. However, the much anticipated Michelle Yeoh’s debut as Dr Karina Mogue may not happen until the fourth movie. The untitled fourth and fifth instalments are set to be released in December 2029 and December 2031, respectively.
Marvel steps it up with new trailers
Marvel has not picked up the buck and delivered us a clear hit since 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, and they hope to do is with Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*.
The new trailer for Captain America: Brave New World featured more of Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk and a quick glimpse of Giancarlo Esposito’s mysterious baddie Sidewinder. Marvel also released the cinematic poster for the same.
Marvel Studios’ new film with an updated ensemble of misfits called Thunderbolts* got an extended trailer at D23 Brazil. The major characters, played by Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Lewis Pullman, Geraldine Viswanathan, Hannah John-Kamen, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus got considerable screentime in the new trailer.
At the event, Marvel head Kevin Feige also confirmed the delayed arrival of Miles Morales’s Spider-Man in the MCU. “Miles will appear in the third ‘Spider-Verse’ movie, which is in production. I hope that, shortly after that, he can enter the MCU in live-action,” he said.
Since Sony’s third instalment to the Spider-Verse film, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, is facing delays, we might not get a live-action Morales till 2027.
Apart from these, Marvel also confirmed the veteran X-Men member Storm’s debut in What If…? Season 3 on Disney+.

‘We miss him’: Yellowstone cast react to Kevin Costner’s absence in season five part two
The cast of Yellowstone are opening up about Kevin Costner’s absence from the second part of the show’s final season.
The hit Paramount Plus drama returns on Sunday (November 10) for the ninth episode of its fifth season.
Lead actor Costner – who played ranch owner John Dutton – will not appear in the final six episodes of the series after exiting the show in June due to scheduling conflicts. His departure came amid reports that the Dancing With Wolves star had fallen out with Yellowstone showrunner Taylor Sheridan.
At the season five part two premiere in New York this week, Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton, said: “It’s hard to imagine the show without him. But that’s always where the show was headed. It was, can these kids do it without him?”
He continued: “So we all knew it was going to get there, we just didn’t know how or when, and clearly it was different than what we thought. But what it did do was ramp the show up to a 10 and now everything starts to unravel.”
The 40-year-old admitted he had been “a little disappointed” that the rest of the cast were not aware that Costner wouldn’t be returning to conclude the fifth season.
“I guess I was probably a little disappointed that we didn’t know that he wasn’t going to be, you know, back,” he began. “I think there might have been a better goodbye had we done it in some other way. It was, you know, it was more of a surprise than anything.”
“But like I said, that’s above my pay grade. And our job is just show up and do what’s on the page and do it to the best of our ability,” Grimes said.
Meanwhile, Wes Bentley, who plays Jamie Dutton, added: “We miss him. He’s a huge part of the show and great guy to have around.”

In June, Costner told People he was “disappointed” by how the rumors surrounding his exit were handled by producers.
“I loved the show. I liked the people on the show. I liked what it was about. I love that world,” he said at the time.
In an April interview with The Independent, Grimes said of Costner’s exit: “Whatever happened there is unfortunate if it’s changed anything about how the show was going to unfold. I know, [Costner] got busy with his movies that were like passion projects [his new Horizon: An American Saga films]. At a certain point, you gotta do what you gotta do, man; you gotta do what you love.”
Ahead of episode nine’s release, Yellowstone director Christina Voros said Costner would play an “integral” role in the show’s ending despite his departure.
“John Dutton is still central,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “His presence is integral. I think to say any more than that would potentially compromise all the work that went into redacting the scripts!
“But I think the reason people are wondering, ‘Is he, isn’t he? Where is he, where is he not?’ is because he is the patriarch and his presence is an essential component to the story.”
While Yellowstone will be coming to an end, Sheridan isn’t done with Montana. He recently announced that Michelle Pfeiffer is set to lead the forthcoming Yellowstone sequel series, The Madison. The new series will follow a family of New Yorkers who relocate to the Madison River valley in central Montana.
Yellowstone airs weekly on Sundays on Paramount Plus at 8pm ET.

Kelly Brook and husband Jeremy Parisi land huge ITV deal after winning over fans on Race Across The World
KELLY Brook and husband Jeremy Parisi have landed a huge ITV deal after their successful stint on Race Across The World.
The model and actress, 44, has now bagged a three-part mini series which will see the couple travel to rural Italy where Jeremy’s family live.
The couple gained a legion of fans during their appearance on BBC’s Race Across the World earlier this year.
It was the first time that fans got to see a peek inside their marriage with one another as they faced off against their fellow celebs throughout South America.
And now the pair are set to return to our screens with their brand new show, Kelly and Jeremy: La Vita Italiana.
The couple will return to the Arpino countryside, where they tied the knot in 2022.
“With Kelly’s trademark sense of humour, and Jeremy’s passion for his heritage, This Morning viewers will become immersed in the couple’s journey of discovery in deciding whether Italian life really is right for them,” a source told the Mail.
“The barn is an interesting talking point too as it could potentially become their dream home… if they can get the goats to move out first!”
Viewers will see the pair weigh up pros and cons on whether they should move to Italy, while also embracing the culture and life in the countryside.
The series, which kicks off on Wednesday, sees them face challenges when they’re thrown into farming life on Jeremy’s family’s olive farm.
Fans can expect to see brunette beauty Kelly get hands on as she mucks in with looking after the livestock and harvest.
Kelly previously told The Sun that she had no intention of getting back on TV – saying she already feels “semi-retired”.
On signing up for the BBC One reality show, Kelly said: “Race Across The World was a bit left-field.
“It wasn’t something I was pursuing to get back on TV, it was just an incredible experience.
“I have no interest in other reality TV shows and I have no ambition to be stuck in a jungle with a bunch of people I don’t like.”
Kelly added: “I feel like I have already semi-retired. I am certainly not a bikini model any more and am not acting any more.
“I have been doing radio for the last five years and they say I have a face for radio these days. It’s not by choice — I think they retired me.”
She also told The Sun in September that she was quitting modelling after growing tired of posing for “the male gaze”.
She added: “It’s very hard having been a bikini model all through my 20s and then you hit 30 and they still want me to do calendars.
“I’m just not there for the male gaze any more.
“I’m married and I’m very happy being in my 40s.”
In an interview with OK Magazine, Kelly has opened up on the real reason she and Jeremy have not discussed children and it could be because of their time on the reality TV show.
Kelly revealed that she and her husband had yet to decide where they wanted to live in the world and, as such, couldn’t think about having children.
The Heart FM star told the publication: “We have our little fur baby dog, Teddy, but I’m not sure about having children yet.
“At the moment we are focused on work and where we want to live in the world.
“It’s very hard to think about children when you don’t know where you might be living.
“We need to be more settled before we think about children.”
