Lionsgate Play is all set to release its latest Tamil and Telugu sci-fi thriller Kaliyugam 2064 on August 1, adding another bold title to its growing catalogue of unique regional content. Directed by Pramodh Sundar and led by powerhouse performances from Shraddha Srinath and Kishore Kumar G, the film delivers a gripping vision of the future where survival depends on courage, rebellion, and the human spirit.
Set in a dystopian 2064, Kaliyugam 2064 throws viewers into a chaotic world where basic necessities like food and water are scarce. Society has fractured into two camps, the "Residents" and the "Liberators", each fighting for their version of survival. In the middle of this tension are Shakthi (Kishore) and Bhoomi (Shraddha), characters caught between loyalty and survival in a future that feels both distant and disturbingly real.
Joining them are actors Iniyan Subramani and Harry, playing crucial roles in this intense, futuristic tale. With action sequences that keep the pulse racing and twists that challenge the mind, Kaliyugam 2064 blends high-stakes storytelling with thought-provoking themes about morality, trust, and resilience.
Reflecting on the experience, actor Kishore Kumar G. shared, "Being part of a sci-fi thriller like Kaliyugam 2064 was a first for me, and truly an unforgettable ride. While the story is thrilling and packed with action, at its heart, it’s deeply human. Our vision was never just to make a dystopian film, but to hold up a mirror to human nature, to explore what happens when basic comforts vanish and survival becomes the only instinct... This film pushes genre boundaries, especially for South Indian cinema, and I believe it will resonate more with audiences as time goes on.”
The film’s official synopsis sets the tone for what’s to come: a post-apocalyptic landscape, torn by desperation, where myth and machine collide, and survival demands unity in the harshest of environments.
Streaming exclusively on Lionsgate Play, the film continues the platform’s mission to deliver content that is bold, immersive, and genre-defining. With distribution across key platforms like Airtel, Jio FTTH, Prime Video Channels, Apple TV+, and more, Kaliyugam 2064 is set to reach a wide audience. The Lionsgate Play app is available on Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and Amazon Firestick.

The anonymised, aggregated data will be shared with the Ministry of Tourism to support interventions aimed at improving infrastructure and services at destinations across India.
Mr. Suman Billa, Additional Secretary & Director General – Ministry of Tourism, said, “We are extremely delighted to sign this Memorandum of Understanding with Thomas Cook India. The idea behind this collaboration is to see how the Ministry of Tourism can collect real-time feedback from users at key destinations across the country.

Pune Gas, in association with Alister Kitchen Equipments, successfully hosted Culinary Futures, a three-day immersive event curated for India’s hospitality and commercial kitchen consultants. Held in Pune from 12th to 14th September, the event brought together consultants from across the country to explore future-ready solutions for the HoReCa sector through innovation, collaboration, and cultural experiences.
The event began with a grand welcome at Shaniwar Wada, followed by a heritage food walk through Pune’s old city, giving participants a taste of the city’s authentic sights, sounds, and culinary delights.
Day two became the highlight, as consultants toured the Pune Gas manufacturing facility. The visit offered deep insights into best practices for gas safety, efficiency, and system design, areas often overlooked despite fuel being a critical resource for hospitality businesses. Pune Gas showcased innovations such as the LPGenius Smart LPG System, LeakCheck Gas Leak Detection System, and other advanced technologies, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted solutions provider.
Participants also visited customer sites powered by Pune Gas systems, gaining firsthand exposure to its efficient installations. A standout moment was the demonstration of an all gas-fired generator at a Pune bakery, which impressed attendees with its reliability and practical application. The day concluded with a cocktail dinner and networking mixer, celebrating collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The third day featured live demonstrations at Alister Equipments’ factory, including the launch of a new product that showcased the brand’s commitment to building next-generation commercial kitchens.
Jesal Sampat, Executive Director at Pune Gas, shared, “Collaboration with consultants is crucial in designing world-class kitchens. With over four decades of innovation, Pune Gas continues to prioritize safety and efficiency while shaping the future of HoReCa.”
Kitchen consultant P. Sravan Kumar from Hyderabad remarked, “Pune Gas innovations are helping HoReCa businesses achieve higher efficiency while reducing operational costs. The exposure to their manufacturing process and interaction with their team reinforced our trust in them as a reliable partner.”
The event reinforced the growing role of kitchen consultants as key enablers in designing safe, efficient, and sustainable kitchens, while also highlighting the shared vision of empowering India’s HoReCa industry.
Culinary Futures was not just about products but also about partnerships and the prosperity of an industry that feeds millions every day.

Leander Paes added, “This initiative combines fitness with awareness, inspiring hope and proving that every step contributes to a larger movement for change.”
Sudha Reddy expressed, “Pink Power Run is a symbol of hope, resilience, and unity in the fight against breast cancer. With Pink Power Run, Beyond Borders launching in 2026, we are taking this mission global to unite millions across 140 countries.”
The upcoming Pink Power Run, Beyond Borders will debut in 2026 with a 24-hour continental relay and participation from Miss World’s seven continental queens, coinciding with the Miss World Organization’s 75th anniversary.
