Chinmayi Sripaada calls out absence of Sai Pallavi, Dhee from success posters of Amaran, Rowdy Baby

Singer Chinmayi Sripaada shared posters of Amaran, featuring Sivakarthikeyan, and the song Rowdy Baby, featuring Dhanush, which didn’t have any women in them.

Singer Chinmayi Sripaada has often lobbied for fellow female artists. In a new post on X, she called out the makers of Rajkumar Periasamy’s hit action film Amaran and the song Rowdy Baby from Balaji Mohan’s 2018 blockbuster Maari 2 for lack of female representation in their new success posters.

What Chinmayi said

Chinmayi took to her X handle on Wednesday night and shared two posters. The first one was to celebrate Rowdy Baby hitting 1 billion views on YouTube. The poster featured actor-singer Dhanush in his all-black look from the song, playing an electric guitar. The other poster she shared was that of Sivakarthikeyan’s look as Indian Army veteran Major Mukund Varadarajan in the latter’s biopic, Amaran. The poster hailed the film as a “mega blockbuster,” claiming that it earned ₹300 crore worldwide in just 19 days.

Chinmayi wrote in the caption, “One of the most talented and beloved female artists in the South will still not find space in a success poster, shoulder to shoulder with a man. Rowdy Baby was what it was also because of the trippy vocals of Dhee. Anyway.” Chinmayi alluded that Sai Pallavi, the female lead of both Amaran and Maari 2, is absent from both posters. She also pointed out that while Dhanush sang Rowdy Baby, his female counterpart Dhee’s mention is absent from the success poster as well.

Internet argues with Chinmayi

While some X users endorsed Chinmayi’s stance, many objected to it. Many claimed that the Rowdy Baby poster is fan-made, whereas the official poster does feature Sai Pallavi alongside Dhanush. “Fact check before you embarrass yourself (smile emoji),” wrote the user, along with sharing the official poster. Chinmayi responded, “I first saw that poster in the official accounts of the team. That image is here on Twitter and it was widely circulated – MANY spoke about how Sai Pallavi is absent as well. This should have been an update much later. Doesn’t make a difference to the talent of the calibre of Sai Pallavi anyway.”

Another X user argued that Sai isn’t on the Amaran poster because the film attracted such a huge audience because of Sivakarthikeyan’s popularity. They argued that unlike him, Sai can’t guarantee ₹300 crore at the global box office. They also quoted the example of Amar Kaushik’s recent Bollywood blockbuster horror comedy Stree 2, which became the first Hindi film to earn ₹600 crore in India. The historic success was attributed, to quite an extent, to the film’s leading lady Shraddha Kapoor, instead of her male co-star Rajkummar Rao. Chinmayi responded to this argument by writing, “Google Stree2 and the first thing that comes up is “limited screen time” she got. Anyway cannot really speak much to a system thats skewed.”

NewJeans’ Hanni gets reported as Illegal immigrant to customs amid ADOR contract termination: Report

NewJeans’ Hanni gets reported as Illegal immigrant to customs amid ADOR contract termination: Report

NewJeans has ended its contract with ADOR, leading to potential legal troubles for member Hanni regarding her visa status.
NewJeans members have recently terminated their contract with their management agency, ADOR, though the agency maintains that the contract remains valid. While the group is now operating independently, at least from their perspective, new troubles are looming. On December 20, 2024, 10Asia reported that NewJeans’ member Hanni was reported as an illegal immigrant to South Korean Customs.

NewJeans’ Hanni reported as an Illegal immigrant

According to the reports, an unidentified individual filed a complaint, demanding her deportation. Hanni holds dual citizenship requiring her to renew her visa in South Korea annually. Earlier, rumors circulated about Hanni’s visa expiring soon. However, ADOR previously stated they were preparing to extend her visa as usual, since they don’t acknowledge the contract termination. This suggests no immediate visa issues for Hanni or the group.

However, the situation has become more complicated since NewJeans publicly announced their contract termination. Legal experts believe that if the group continues to operate independently, Hanni’s visa, which was initially granted through ADOR, could become invalid.

Out of the five members, Daniel has dual citizenship in Korea and Australia, so she’s all good. But Hanni, who holds dual citizenship in Australia and Vietnam, is definitely considered a foreigner and needs to get visa extensions every year.

If Hanni’s contract with Adore was indeed terminated on the 29th of last month, her visa would no longer be valid and she could be considered an illegal resident. Under the Immigration Control Act, she should have left South Korea by the 13th of this month. Since Adore claims the contract is still valid, it’s unlikely they would consent to a visa transfer under the act that allows people to change workplaces without needing a new visa, but the agency they work with must agree to the change.

What is an E6 visa in South Korea?

Foreign entertainers in South Korea typically rely on E-6 visas, sponsored by their management agencies. These visas allow them to work in the country. E6 is typically issued to entertainers, artists, and athletes. However, if the contract with the agency ends, the visa can become invalid.

Since NewJeans has announced its intention to leave ADOR, Hanni may need to find a new agency to sponsor her visa or face the possibility of having to leave South Korea.

Hanni has the option to renew her E-6 visa by signing with a new agency; however, immigration law requires that she obtain approval from her previous agency first. At the same time, HYBE, the parent company of ADOR, has been in conflict with the former CEO of its subsidiary, Min Hee Jin, for several months, which has unfortunately impacted NewJeans. Since ADOR is disputing the termination and pursuing legal action, it is unlikely that they will grant the necessary approval for Hanni’s visa renewal.

South Korean immigration law also requires individuals to apply for a visa change or secure a new contract within 15 days of termination, which has already passed. The last option for Hanni is to leave South Korea and apply for a new E-6 visa abroad.
