<p>Vijay Sethupatji starrer <em>Viduthalai 2</em> is currently streaming on ZEE5 after its successful run in the theatres. The film produced by Elred Kumar of R S Infotainment and directed by Vetrimaaran, is a riveting political crime thriller. Vijay stars as a revolutionary named Perumal, a man whose life story weaves together anger, empathy, and a battle against an oppressive system.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the film, Perumal gets captured and following that episode, he recounts his transformation from a righteous school teacher to a revolutionary leader, to the officers transporting him.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We got in touch with Vijay Sethupathi as he spoke about his character Perumal in <em>Viduthalai: Part 2</em>, why it struck a chord with the audiences and more.</p>
<p><em>Here are the edited excerpts:&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><strong>Q: You&rsquo;ve played an array of characters, but what makes Perumal stand out in your filmography? Is there any aspect of his persona that you personally relate to?</strong></p>
<p>Vijay: Perumal is different from any role I&rsquo;ve played before because of his conviction and resilience. He&rsquo;s not just fighting for himself&mdash;he represents a larger struggle. His strength is not in just his physical actions but in his belief system, which makes him a deeply compelling character.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Personally, I relate to his sense of purpose. As an actor, I also believe in standing by what I feel is right, and that connection helped me portray him with sincerity.</p>

<p><strong>Q: The first part of Viduthalai left audiences on a tense note. What can you tell us about the film&rsquo;s larger message?</strong></p>
<p>Vijay: If <em>Viduthalai Part 1</em> was a build-up, Part 2 is an explosion of emotions, action, and consequences. Perumal&rsquo;s journey takes unexpected turns, and the stakes are much higher. I can say that audiences will witness a gripping and emotionally charged narrative that forces them to think about justice, power, and survival. The film&rsquo;s message is deeply relevant to today&rsquo;s world, and it will stay with you long after the credits roll.</p>

<p><strong>Q: With Viduthalai Part 2 expanding its reach on OTT in Hindi, how do you see the impact of Tamil cinema growing among pan-Indian audiences, especially in the digital space?</strong></p>
<p>Vijay: Tamil cinema has always had strong storytelling, but today, with digital platforms like ZEE5, these stories are reaching a much wider audience. The language barrier is slowly disappearing, and people are now embracing content based on its strength rather than where it comes from.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Films like <em>Viduthalai Part 2</em> showcase the richness of Tamil storytelling, and I believe that its Hindi release will open the doors for more such films to find recognition across India.</p>

Vijay Sethupathi unveils Aindham Vedham's trailer: Mythological series set to release on October 25

<p>No one could have possibly imagined casting Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethipathi opposite each other in a film. Or perhaps only filmmaker Sriram Raghavan could have thought of casting these two actors in a film together. The result is an interesting slow-burn Neo-noir called <em>Merry Christmas.</em> The genre is a familiar territory for Raghavan a master storyteller who crafts intrinsic tales of crime, passion, and mystery in each of his films. In <em>Merry Christmas, </em>Raghavan experiments with his screenplay a bit but the climatic finale leaves you wondering about the characters long after the film is over.</p>

<p><strong>What's the story of Merry Christmas?</strong></p>

<p>Set at a time when Mumbai was called Bombay, the story pans over a single night when the city is making merry and ringing in Christmas with their loved ones. Except for Albert and Maria - two lonely souls who meet at a restaurant by chance and end up spending a night together walking through the streets of Bombay. She is unhappy in her marriage and has a child to take care of. He has a mysterious past. When the man offers to help her carry the sleeping child back home, the two form an uncanny friendship. Things seem to be going smoothly until a man's body is found in Maria's apartment leading to confusion and suspicion.</p>

<p>Written by Sriram Raghavan, Arijit Biswas, Pooja Ladha Surti, and Anukriti Pandey the film's first half almost doesn't appear to be a typical Sriram Raghavan film. You know there's a twist lurking in the corner but what you see seems to be a conversational film of two strangers..much like the<em> Before Sunrise </em>series. The first half of the film mostly has Kiaf and Sethipathi talking and walking around Bombay's lit streets. No twists or turns in the screenplay and it seems pretty plausible that these two very different individuals can form a bond over a drink or two. It's mostly her talking and him listening. The story unravels like how it would in a book. The film is based on Frédéric Dard's book <em>Bird In A Cage</em> and the writers adapt the book for the Indian sensibilities ably. We know that both are hiding things from each other, but the narrative takes its time to unravel their respective truth. The result is a deeply engrossing film that need not put you on the edge of your seat throughout yet makes you feel invested in its characters.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="k" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3e827e65-641d-4269-baad-7a6a2747eba7" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202024-01-12T102618.166.jpg" /></p>

<p>The screenplay is spruced by easter eggs and multiple pop culture references - typical of Raghavan's films. The early pupl fictions, ode to classics, some retro music - all are interspersed into the narrative. The twist comes in the second half, where the story's pace picks up and gets you more engaged in the story.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Casting is the biggest winner</strong></p>

<p>The film's casting is possibly one of the best in recent times. The film alleviates to a great level because it has Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi playing Maria and Albert. Sethupathi is known for his acting prowess. Albert is a do-gooder who gets stuck in an unexpected murky situation. One of my favourite moments of the actor in the film involves his interaction with Anne (child actor Pari Sharma), Maria's mute daughter. For those who have watched Super Delux, would recall how Sethupathi had some of the most brilliant scenes with his onscreen son in the film. It is not easy to act with child actors - and to bring out an organic chemistry onscreen but Sethupathi masterfully brings it out.<em> Merry Christmas</em> is one such example. Sethupathi's Albert is a mysterious man for sure but also someone who you would end up trusting when you are in a sticky spot.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kaif, meanwhile has come a long way. From a 16-year-old Brit-Asian model who was always written off by critics as just a pretty face in her initial years- to becoming the glamour quotient in every other action blockbuster- the actress has over the last decade and a half evolved into a matured performer. One who knows what works on screen, one who has tried to reinvent herself even within the realms of commercial cinema which depends more on theatrics, and song-and-dance routine than performances of actors. This is easily Kaif's best performance to date (<em>Zero</em> being a close second). The actress plays the elusive, tragic, mysterious and hauntingly beautiful Maria to perfection. Sethupathi and Kaif together bring amazing magic to the screen- stuff that one possibly wouldn't have imagined to witness on screen.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The supporting cast consisting of Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Radhika Apte, Tinu Anand, Pratima Kazmi and Ashwini Kalsekar brings in the right amount of quirk that is typical of Raghavan's noir.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shot beautifully by Madhu Neelakandan, <em>Merry Christmas</em> has beautiful framings throughout. The background score of Daniel B&nbsp;George is fantastic and plays a crucial part in storytelling with Raghavan using music entirely and no dialogues in the climax. I watched the Hindi version of the film and its climax reportedly is different from the Tamil version.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I did have a problem with the way the characters easily believed rank strangers throughout the film but Sriram Raghavan's style of storytelling made me indulge in the story to a great extent.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Merry Christmas</em> is also Raghavan's sappiest film to date which is not a bad thing. It is not as edgy as his previous outings but a story that you want to devour. It stays with you even after it's over.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Merry Christmas</em> is like a good glass of mulled wine- you need to enjoy it slowly, taking in the flavours and not gulp it down.&nbsp;</p>

Jawan box office Day 12: SRK-Nayanthara film inches towards another milestone

<p>Shah Rukh Khan, Bollywood's reigning monarch, has once again showcased why he's an enduring legend in the Indian film industry with <em>Jawan</em>. In 2021, his son Aryan Khan became embroiled in a high-profile legal battle stemming from his arrest during an alleged rave party on a cruise ship. He had to suffer 25 days of confinement, facing the daunting spectre of serious allegations. However, the narrative took a turn for the better in May 2022 when he was exonerated of all charges, with India's Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) admitting a flawed investigation. All this while, King Khan opted to remain&nbsp;silent, choosing, perhaps, to speak through his work.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It's in this context that a particular line from <em>Jawan </em>resonates: "Bete ko haath lagane se pahle, baap se baat kar." Heh. Clearly, he has had enough. The line was also notably highlighted in the film's trailers.</p>

<p>Anyhoo: <em>Pathaan</em>, released earlier in the year, heralded Shah Rukh Khan's triumphant return to the silver screen. The film not only garnered effusive critical acclaim but also stormed the box office, underscoring that SRK's magic remained as appealing as ever. As someone who wasn't particularly smitten with a lot of his previous work, this movie was a revelation. It wasn't just a movie; it was the triumphant return of Shah Rukh as a bona fide movie star. Sure, it was also your typical crowd-pleasing Indian masala movie but I have made my peace with those.</p>

<p>It is with <em>Jawan</em>, however, that Shah Rukh Khan truly solidifies his place as the star of the year 2023, I feel. It is bigger, shinier, and more glorious. While it may not be a cinematic masterpiece by traditional standards, it does shine a spotlight on the quintessential movie star that SRK is. As a newfound fan, I find myself eagerly celebrating his remarkable resurgence.</p>

<p><strong>Minor spoilers ahead</strong></p>

<h2><strong>What is <em>Jawan </em>all about?</strong></h2>

<p>Directed by Atlee, the film features Khan in a dual role, supported by an exceptional ensemble cast including Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani, and Sanya Malhotra. Khan's first character Azad is a jailer who masterminds daring heists executed by a cadre of female inmates, all driven by a higher purpose who have had to face injustice. Azad's gang confronts the government on pressing issues that plague Indians. These are the critical problems that often go unnoticed or unaddressed like farmer suicides, the deplorable state of government hospitals, the intricate web of corruption that often exists between businessmen and politicians, and so on.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Azad's motive is simple. He wants to prove how quickly things for common people can improve when it is the establishment that feels the heat, rather than common people. Hospitals, for instance, are miraculously transformed into modern, well-equipped facilities in a matter of few hours with world-class infrastructure when sordid secrets of those in power are exposed. This is something most of us know, of course, but it's gratifying to witness it unfold in a popular movie of this nature.</p>

<p>Azad is eventually caught and tortured by the brother of one such unscrupulous businessman Kaalie Gaikwad (Vijay Sethupathi, reliably brilliant in this scenery-chewing role). And that is when Vikram Rathore, played by SRK again rescues him and beats his captors to death in the most stylish way possible. I leave you to uncover the nature of Azad and Vikram's relationship.&nbsp;Probably you already know.</p>

<h2><strong>Deepika Padukone, Nayanthara, and Sanya Malhotra</strong></h2>

<p>The film boasts of some serious women's power as well. Deepika delivers a standout performance in a role that falls somewhere between a cameo and a starring role. Deepika being Deepika, though, she makes every moment count. She and SRK are old friends (she made her Hindi film debut opposite him in Om Shanti Om) and her chemistry with him is palpable. Nayanthara's performance is marked by an innate and effortless grace. Sanya Malhotra also gets her moment to shine as a helpless doctor in a heart-wrenching scene in an ill-equipped hospital. &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Action is truly spectacular</strong></h2>

<p>The action sequences in <em>Jawan </em>undoubtedly hold their own, elevated by some truly spectacular visual effects. The filmmakers have spared no expense in delivering heart-pounding, larger-than-life action moments that keep you on the edge of your seat. It's the kind of cinematic experience, of course, where you have to temporarily suspend disbelief, fully aware that the hero seems invulnerable while others meet their fate around him. But, as I mentioned earlier, I've come to terms with the phenomenon of Indian masala films.</p>

<p>While the action is undeniably thrilling, there is one aspect that occasionally puts me off — the copious use of slow motion. Too uncomfortably reminscent of Zack Snyder for me. It's a stylistic choice that can sometimes feel excessive and elongate sequences unnecessarily. Nevertheless, it doesn't detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the film.</p>

<h2><strong>Watch <em>Jawan </em>if you haven't already</strong></h2>

<p>And there you have it. Watching Shah Rukh Khan in his element, whether he's orchestrating cinematic ballets of boundless buoyancy or delivering poignant soliloquies that resonate with the soul, is nothing short of mesmerising. He possesses that rare star power that transcends the screen.</p>

<p>Even after more than three decades in the industry, Shah Rukh Khan remains an indomitable presence, and his charisma retains its magnetic allure.</p>

Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan: Bollywood's reigning monarch strikes gold yet again

<p><em>Jawan</em> Day is here! Shah Rukh Khan's latest film <em>Jawan </em>released worldwide amid a lot of celebrations. Even as several cinema halls across cities screened the film in the early hours of the day, <em>Jawan </em>also fell prey to piracy. Just a few hours after the film was released in theatres, it leaked online.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
According to reports, the pirated version of the film is now available on Telegram and Torrent websites.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Fans react to <em>Jawan</em>'s leak online</strong></h2>

<p>Several fans of Shah Rukh Khan expressed disappointment over the news of the leak. Some were worried that the leak would impact its box office performance. A fan tweeted, "Shah Rukh Khan, it's too bad. Someone leaked your new movie<em> Jawan </em>today. I think it's too bad for collection and record, so please do something. <em>Jawan </em>movie available on the internet."<br />
<br />
One person tagged the Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur and Shah Rukh Khan on Twitter (X), and wrote, "Which law have you made? Right now no one is following that law. <em>Jawan </em>has been released today, and after some time it has been leaked online. The film industry suffers huge losses due to movies being leaked online."</p>

<h2><strong><em>Jawan</em> box office prediction</strong></h2>

<p>The rousing advance booking for<em> Jawan</em> has made everyone hopeful. Trade pundits are expecting <em>Jawan</em> to earn Rs 700 million on the first day itself. SRK's last release, <em>Pathaan</em>, is now the highest-grossing film of 2023. <em>Jawan</em> may just upstage <em>Pathaan</em>'s record at the box office.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film has also typically courted controversy before its release. A day before its theatrical release, the film trended on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the hashtag #BoycottJawan mainly due to the involvement of Udhayanidhi Stalin. Stalin is a renowned film producer and Tamil Nadu state minister. He is backing the film in Tamil Nadu and is reportedly one of the main distributors of the film in the region.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Early morning celebrations for Jawan</strong></h2>

<p>The social media trend, however, didn’t appear to gather much momentum as theatres in several Indian cities went ahead with their plans for early morning shows to maximize on the excitement around <em>Jawan</em>'s release and also Janmashtami, a holiday in many parts of the country.<br />
<br />
In a video from Mumbai's Gaeity Galaxy, the audience can be seen dancing and hooting as <em>'Zinda Banda'</em> plays on the screens. The cinema hall is screening early morning shows for the first time in its history.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Jawan </em>has received a roaring response from the audience as well as critics alike. WION's Shomini Sen in her review called the film a quintessential Bollywood blockbuster.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"<em>Pathaan</em> reiterated SRK's liberal stance and <em>Jawaan</em> brings forth the feminist side of the actor. Khan has been a vocal ally for women's empowerment for years. In <em>Jawan,</em> sure he plays a mentor of sorts to a bunch of wronged women, but the film celebrates strong women and their might to fight it out. All the female characters are projected as strong women who can take on a goon or two on their own and yet be maternal and soft when the time arises," writes <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-jawan-review-shah-rukh-khan-cements-his-position-as-numero-uno-with-this-vigilante-thriller-633248">Sen in her review.&nbsp;</a></strong><br />

Along with Shah Rukh Khan, <em>Jawan</em> also features Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, Aaliyah Qureshi, Ridhi Dogra and Sunil Grover as well as Deepika Padukone in a special appearance.</p>

Jawan leaked online hours after its theatrical release

<p>So massive! Shah Rukh Khan’s <em>Jawan</em> had a huge audio launch event for the film in Chennai and in what style. Fans went berserk as they got to see their favourite stars come together for the massive launch event that also featured Vijay Sethupathi. Both the actors engaged in some random banter that kept the audience entertained.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Jawan</em> has a lot riding on it with the movie projecting Shah Rukh Khan in a never-seen-before avatar. Directed by Atlee who is known for belting high-octane thrillers, <em>Jawan</em> has a lot of promise and fans have been excited for the film ever since it was announced. What helped their case was the thrilling teaser release that had SRK sport a bald look&nbsp;for the first time in his entire filmy career.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Shah Rukh Khan kept it simple at the Jawan audio launch</strong></h2>

<p>At the <em>Jawan</em> audio launch, Shah Rukh Khan was seen wearing a white T-shirt with a black jacket and jeans. Announcing his entry, a voice echoed, "The moment we've all been waiting for!

Jawan audio launch: Fans go crazy as Shah Rukh Khan, Vijay Sethupathi take centrestage

<p>The release of Shah Rukh Khan's <em>Jawan</em> is just days away. The film is being considered an important release as it comes months after the stupendous success of SRK's other film <em>Pathaan.</em> Expectations and hype around <em>Jawan</em>, therefore, are high. Advance bookings of the film have&nbsp;already begun. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on September 7. Now, recent reports state that the makers are planning to have a 6 am show of the film in Mumbai.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A famous theatre in Mumbai called Gaiety Galaxy is all set to have a special show at 6 am, which is the earliest for any Hindi movie in India to date. This theatre had also changed its showtime for <em>Pathaan</em> a few months ago.<br />
<br />
<strong>First Hindi film to have a screening at 6 am</strong><br />
<br />
Early morning shows in&nbsp;south India are common, especially when the films star Rajinikanth or Vijay. But in Bollywood,<em> Jawan'</em>s 6 am show would be a first.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Shah Rukh Khan's big fan club, known as the Shah Rukh Khan Universe Fan Club, shared this news on X, formerly called Twitter. The fan club had done something similar for <em>Pathaan</em> before. They invited people to join them for the special show by sending them direct messages.<br />

<p>Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan's upcoming film <em>Merry Christmas</em> featuring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi is going to have two versions. The film is set to release later in December this year. The director recently revealed that the film's Tamil version will be different from the Hindi version of the movie.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While speaking to News18, Sriram Raghavan said, “It’s not one film, it’s two films. There is a Hindi film, which has got Vijay Sethupathi and Katrina Kaif and one child along with a few other characters. There is a Tamil film with the same Vijay Sethupathi, Katrina and the child, and the other actors are different.”<br />
<br />
He further added, "So I wanted to make a Tamil film also since Vijay is a very acclaimed actor in the South and I thought it will be just good for us to make two versions of this film. They are broadly the same, 95 percent they are the same but of course, language changes, and some characters also I wanted to change so that it doesn’t look like a dubbed film. I am a Tamilian myself so this is one chance so let me also try to make a Tamil film so this is two in one kind of film.”&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Raghavan also addressed the unusual pairing of Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi. Raghavan stated that the film's story was such that he needed an 'off-beat' pairing.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I was trying various combinations and permutations and I happened to meet Vijay at a festival in Melbourne and I’d seen some of his films. I just felt, ‘What if I do this odd combination’ and it has got its curiosity value, I hope. Both are very interesting characters in the film. When you see the film you’ll why I cast them. I just wanted two people who have never worked with each other and you can’t even think<em> ye saath mein kya karenge,"</em> said the<em> Andhadhun</em> director.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Helmed by Sriram Raghavan, <em>Merry Christmas</em> brings together Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi for the first time on screen. The movie’s release date was recently announced as December 15 and is set to clash with Karan Johar-produced Sidharth Malhotra starrer <em>Yodha.</em></p>

Shah Rukh Khan calls Vijay Sethupathi one of his ‘favourite actors’ 

<p>Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor and Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi team up for their first-ever digital web series 'Farzi'. The makers dropped the trailer of the show on Friday days after teasing fans with posters of the show. Created by Raj and DK- who created the hugely successful 'Family Man' web series- 'Farzi' marks both Kapoor and Sethupathi's digital debut.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The trailer gives us a glimpse into the life of a small-time con artist Sunny (Shahid), who finds himself drawn into the dark while creating a perfect con. However, a fiery and unconventional task force officer (Vijay) has made it his mission to rid the nation of the threat he poses. Spanning eight episodes, 'Farzi' is a fast-paced, edgy, one-of-a-kind crime thriller, with the director duo’s trademark humour, stiched around a clever underdog street artist’s pursuit to con the system that favours the rich.<br />
<br />
The series also stars Kay Kay Menon, Raashii Khanna, Amol Palekar, Regina Cassandra, and Bhuvan Arora in pivotal roles, and will stream on Prime Video in India and across 240 countries and territories starting February 10. Along with Raj &amp; DK, 'Farzi' is written by Sita R Menon and Suman Kumar.</p>

I am quite sure, that the audience will love the show, they will enjoy the humour, the grit and the overall story, it will keep them at the edge of their seats. "</p>

<p>Sethupathi's recent comedy-drama DSP received mixed reviews and is performing poorly at the box office. Fans earlier&nbsp;had very high hopes for DSP. However, Vijay Sethupathi's box office appeal was insufficient for the film. Sethupati will be seen in an upcoming action thriller film, Mumbaikar, alongside Vikrant Massey, directed by Santosh Sivan. The film is a remake of the 2017 Tamil film Maanagaram. With this film, Sethupati will make his Hindi film debut as well. Apart from Mumbaikar, he will also be seen in Merry Christmas alongside Katrina Kaif.&nbsp;</p>

Vijay Sethupathi roped in to play villain in Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’

‘Hridayam’ to ‘Vikram’, 2022’s best South Indian films you cannot afford to miss

<p>Belgian Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne announced his resignation on Friday (Oct 20), four days after a Tunisian migrant living illegally in the country killed two Swedes in Brussels. Addressing a press conference, Quickenborne said he sought Abdesalem Lassoued's extradition last year&nbsp;and it had not been followed up. Lassoued, 45, shot dead two Swedish football fans and wounded another on Monday. A day later, he was shot dead by police in a cafe.</p>

<p>"It's an individual, monumental and unacceptable error," Justice Minister Quickenborne told reporters as he announced his resignation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Authorities said initial indications were that&nbsp;Lassoued was working as a lone wolf, rather than as part of a broad network. In a video claiming responsibility for the attack, the attacker said he was a member of the Islamic State and gave his name as Abdesalem Al Guilani. However, Belgian state broadcaster RTBF named him Abdesalem Lassoued.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, Quicken said that Lassoued was known to police and suspected of offences, including human trafficking and illegal residence. In 2016, a foreign police service passed on an unconfirmed report that the man had a "radicalised profile" and wanted to go to a war zone to wage jihad, he added.</p>

<p>The now-resigned minister also pointed out that authorities received a tip that the attacker was convicted of terrorism in Tunisia but the information proved to be false as the man had only been convicted of common law offences.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After Lassoued's asylum was denied three years back, Belgian authorities said he "disappeared from the radar" before an expulsion order in March 2021 that was not carried out.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, Prime Minister &nbsp;Alexander De Croo said he was not among some 700 people on Belgium's terror watch list and had not stayed at an asylum-seekers centre, making it more difficult to track and expel him.</p>

<p>"The illegal Tunisian man lived here below the water line and yesterday he struck in a cowardly way towards our society from below the water line," Prime Minister De Croo added.</p>
