Police arrested four interstate robbers within hours after they carried out a daytime robbery at a highway-side jewellery shop in Karnataka’s Tumakuru district.
Dreams often begin in the most unexpected places, in a childhood story, while idling away in a classroom, or in worlds far beyond home. For Shenba, it was no different. In the midst of her everyday routine in a small town in Tamil Nadu, she held on to a simple, wholehearted dream: one day, she would travel to South Korea. Join Shenba as she travels from Tamil Nadu to South Korea on an unforgettable, life-changing journey in Made in Korea.
Written and directed by Ra.Karthik, Made in Korea follows Shenbagam, or Shenba, whose childhood fascination with Korean culture inspires her to experience it for herself. When she unexpectedly finds herself in Seoul, reality proves far more challenging than she imagined, setting her on a heartfelt path of resilience, self-discovery, and new connection.
The makers released the teaser of the film today. It stars Priyanka Mohan and South Korean actors Park Hye-jin and No Ho-jin in pivotal roles.

Sharing his inspiration behind the film, Ra.Karthik said, “I am quite fascinated with the deep cultural connections and historical similarities between Korean and Tamil heritage. This curiosity inspired me to tell a story that felt personal and full of hope. Made In Korea is a slice-of-life film crafted with warmth, celebrating this unique cultural bond, and I’m thankful to Netflix for championing stories that transcend languages and bring global cultures closer together.”
Speaking about the role, Priyanka Mohan shared, “Shenba’s dream of Korea comes from a place of wonder and curiosity. I felt deeply connected to Shenba’s story from the first narration, and being part of this Netflix film makes the journey even more special.

After years of ‘are they or aren’t they,’ Tollywood’s onscreen pair Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are officially tying the knot on February 26. Meanwhile, fans are loving an old clip of Vijay’s parents that has resurfaced. In the video, his mom, Madhavi Deverakonda, mentioned she just wants a daughter-in-law who loves her son unconditionally and understands the hectic film life. His dad (Govardhan Rao) was even more chill, saying they don’t care about caste or religion; and only that Vijay marries for love.
On the occasion, Madhavi also commented that her son was a good boy in real life. When the host quipped that many girls had been queuing up to marry Vijay, Madhavi simply laughed. At that time, nobody, including probably the Vijay-Rashmika duo, knew that they would get married someday. Their love story started on the sets of Geetha Govindam back in 2018, where their chemistry was so electric it practically jumped off the screen. While they always maintained they were just ‘best friends,’ the clues were everywhere. From secret vacations in the Maldives to spotted dinner dates and wearing each other’s hoodies, the duo kept us guessing for years.
The couple had a super private engagement ceremony about five months ago, surrounded only by their inner circle. Their Udaipur wedding is expected to be a beautiful blend of tradition and style. Confirming the wedding and embracing the #ViRosh tag, the couple recently said, “Our Dearest loves, before we made any plans, before we chose anything for ourselves— you were already there. With so much love, you gave us a name. You called us ‘VIROSH’. So today — with full hearts, we name our coming together in your honour. We would like to name it — ‘The Wedding of VIROSH’. Thank you for holding us with so much love. You are a part of us — always. Biggest hugs and full love.”
