A striking star cast with a seasoned technical crewThe film's world is being shaped by a strong technical lineup. Mukesh G serves as director of photography and is expected to bring the brooding tonal palette he has become known for. GK Prasanna steps in as editor while S Kannan handles production design that is likely to give DC its textured, lived in aesthetic. The stunt choreography is helmed by PC Stunts who have consistently delivered high impact action blocks for some of the biggest titles in the South.Arun Matheswaran last directed Captain Miller starring Dhanush, which hit theatres in 2024 and cemented his position as a filmmaker who blends scale with sharp narrative edges. His move to DC signals a creative continuation, though this time with the added spotlight of guiding Lokesh Kanagaraj in his first major acting outing.
Wamiqa Gabbi, who has swiftly become a pan Indian presence, was most recently seen in Bhool Chuk Maaf. She is currently awaiting the release of multiple Hindi projects including Pati Patna Aur Woh Do, Bhooth Bangla, Tiki Taka, and Genie. With DC, she adds yet another varied character to her growing roster of performances.Lokesh, meanwhile, carries only minimal on-screen experience despite his formidable directorial fame. Apart from a cameo in Vijay's Master and a brief appearance in Shruti Haasan's music video Inimel, he has remained largely behind the camera. DC is set to change that narrative entirely and industry watchers are keen to see how he translates his creative energy into a leading role.With filming now wrapped, anticipation shifts to the next wave of updates. For fans of Arun, Lokesh, and Wamiqa, DC is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases on the horizon.Also Read: Sonu Sood, Wamiqa Gabbi and More Lend Support to IndiGo Ground Staff Amid Chaos。 Colombo, Oct 21 (UNI) Paddy stocks worth billions of rupees in storage facilities owned by the Paddy Marketing Board (PMB) have vanished during the last decade in Sri Lanka, reports by the Auditor General have revealed.
The Island newspaper on Friday quoted a senior PMB officer as saying that about 20 per cent of total paddy stored in the last decade have disappeared.
The Auditor General has also found that the financial reports of the PMB have been consistently unreliable and that the institution has not taken a physical stock of the paddy held in their storage units.
The Auditor General’s reports state that the weight of the paddy collected from the farmers might drop while in storage due to the loss of moisture in the paddy during the storage period, damage due to insects and other reasons, the daily said.
Even after taking these factors into consideration, there was no way of explaining how about 20 per cent of the total stock vanished, an unnamed senior officer was quoted as saying.
The Auditor General’s reports have also revealed that Ministers sold the PMB paddy to their henchmen below the purchase prices.
The PMB management had not made any attempts to recover the cost over the years.
PMD Chairman Buddhika Iddamalgoda said that he had been appointed only three weeks earlier. There are 21 Auditor General’s reports on the PMD and he would go through all reports, he said.
“We have purchased paddy amounting to 810 million rupees this season. We have 7,070 tonnes and we expect to make Rs 2 billion by selling them. I agree that we need to take a physical stock of what is in our stores,” he said.
