ತಿಮ್ಮಕ್ಕ ಅವರ ಅನುಮತಿ ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣ: ಚಿತ್ರತಂಡದ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಕಾನೂನು ಕ್ರಮಕ್ಕೆ ಸೂಚನೆ

ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು, ಜೂನ್ 16 –
ವೃಕ್ಷಮಾತೆ ನಾಡೋಜ ಪಾ. ಸಾಲುಮರದ ತಿಮ್ಮಕ್ಕ ಅವರ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ಆಧಾರವಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ‘ವೃಕ್ಷಮಾತೆ ಸಾಲುಮರದ ತಿಮ್ಮಕ್ಕ’ ಎಂಬ ಶೀರ್ಷಿಕೆಯಡಿ ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವುದನ್ನು ಖಂಡಿಸಿರುವ ತಿಮ್ಮಕ್ಕ ಅವರು, ತಮ್ಮ ಅನುಮತಿ ಇಲ್ಲದೇ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣವನ್ನು ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸಲು ಆಗ್ರಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಸೈಲಾಡ್ ದೀಲಿನ್ ಕುಮಾರ್ ಹಾಗೂ ಒರಟಶ್ರೀ ಎಂಬವರು ಈ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣ ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದು, ತಿಮ್ಮಕ್ಕ ಅವರ ಪ್ರಕಾರ, ಈ ಕುರಿತು ಯಾವುದೇ ಪೂರ್ವ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ನೀಡಲಾಗಿಲ್ಲ. ಜೂನ್ 13 ರಂದು ರಾಮನಗರ ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ಕುದೂರು ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಠಾಣಾ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಂದ ದೂರವಾಣಿ ಸಂದೇಶದ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಪಡೆದ ತಿಮ್ಮಕ್ಕ ಅವರು ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ತೆರಳಿ ಖುದ್ದು ಪರಿಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಿ, ಪೊಲೀಸರಿಗೆ ದೂರು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

“ನನ್ನ ಅನುಮತಿ ಇಲ್ಲದೇ, ನನ್ನ ಹೆಸರು ಬಳಸಿ ಸಿನಿಮಾ ತಯಾರಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ನನ್ನ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿತ್ವಕ್ಕೆ ಅವಮಾನ. ನಾನು ಈ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನು ಗಂಭೀರವಾಗಿ ಪರಿಗಣಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಮಂಡಳಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಸರ್ಕಾರದ ಗಮನಕ್ಕೆ ತಂದಿದ್ದೇನೆ” ಎಂದು ತಿಮ್ಮಕ್ಕ ಪತ್ರಿಕಾಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಗೂ ಅವರು ಮನವಿ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ – “ಯಾರೂ ಚಿತ್ರೀಕರಣ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಗದ್ದಲ ಅಥವಾ ಘರ್ಷಣೆಗೆ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಬಾರದು. ಶಾಂತಿಯುತವಾಗಿ ವಿಚಾರಿಸಿ, ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ಅನುಮತಿ ಪಡೆದಿರುವುದೇ ಎಂಬುದನ್ನು ಖಚಿತಪಡಿಸಿ” ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿಸಿದರು.

ಇನ್ನೊಂದೆಡೆ, ತಮ್ಮ ಪುತ್ರ ಉಮೇಶ್ ಅವರು ಚಿತ್ರತಂಡವನ್ನು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸಿದಾಗ ಅವಮಾನಕಾರಿ ಭಾಷೆ ಬಳಕೆಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ತಿಮ್ಮಕ್ಕ ಅವರು ಖಂಡಿಸಿ, “ಅವನ ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಹಣ ಹಾಗೂ ಕಾರು ಕೇಳಿದರೆಂಬ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಅಪಪ್ರಚಾರ ಮಾಡಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಾನು ನ್ಯಾಯಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾನನಷ್ಟ ಮೊಕದ್ದಮೆ ಹೂಡುವೆ” ಎಂದು ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟಪಡಿಸಿದರು.

ಪತ್ರಿಕಾಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಭಾಗಿಯಾದ ಪ್ರಮುಖರು:

Father’s Day Wishes By Gs Gopal Raaj, Editor, City Today News and TJ Vision

On this cherished occasion of Father’s Day, we extend our heartfelt wishes to all fathers, father figures, and guardians who form the backbone of our families and communities.

A father is more than just a provider—he is a protector, a guide, a role model, and often, the silent strength that holds the family together. Whether through words of wisdom or quiet acts of sacrifice, fathers shape the future of their children and, in doing so, shape the future of our society.

Today, we celebrate not just the visible contributions of fathers, but also the countless unseen efforts they make every single day. From nurturing dreams to instilling values, from being the first hero to becoming a lifelong source of strength, a father’s presence is irreplaceable and invaluable.

We salute the fathers who face life’s challenges head-on for the sake of their families, those who have raised generations with love and integrity, and the many unsung heroes who deserve our deepest respect and admiration.

Let us also remember with fondness the fathers who are no longer among us—their teachings, love, and legacy continue to live on in our hearts and actions.

On behalf of City Today News and TJ Vision, I extend my deepest gratitude to all fathers. May this Father’s Day be a time of joy, reflection, and heartfelt appreciation.

Happy Father’s Day!

Bengaluru, June 13, 2025 — Wonderla Holidays Ltd., one of India’s leading amusement park operators, has expanded its hospitality footprint with the launch of ‘The Isle by Wonderla’, a boutique, aqua-themed resort located next to its flagship amusement park on the outskirts of Bengaluru.

Spread over 4.5 acres, the newly unveiled property offers 39 uniquely designed accommodations, including private pool villas, glamping tents, hammock cottages, and starlight rooms. Developed with an investment of ₹39 crore, the resort blends luxury, sustainability, and natural aesthetics to provide an immersive getaway experience for families, leisure travellers, corporate groups, and wedding parties.

“The Isle is not just a hospitality extension but a reflection of evolving guest preferences toward calm, nature-inspired experiences,” said Arun K. Chittilappilly, Executive Chairman and Managing Director, Wonderla Holidays Ltd. “As Wonderla marks 25 years, this launch signifies a strategic evolution — combining entertainment and serenity in a single ecosystem.”

The property features an open-air, multi-cuisine restaurant named ‘Spice Cove’, a poolside bar ‘Oasis’, and a wellness center, Therapy Tree Spa, offering treatments rooted in local traditions. A treehouse suite, pet-friendly zones, temperature-controlled pools, and campfire courtyards add to the resort’s appeal.

Designed by architect Reshma Karmarkar and her team at Design Matters, the resort emphasizes ecological harmony. Key sustainability initiatives include a 31% reduction in lagoon pool water usage, a closed-loop water reuse system, and the transplantation of mature trees from the site to maintain a natural setting.

Dheeran Choudhary, Chief Operating Officer at Wonderla, noted that The Isle offers the charm of a faraway sanctuary while being conveniently accessible from the city. “From glamping to stargazing, every feature has been crafted to foster relaxation and connection with nature,” he said.

Located next to the existing Wonderla Resort — consistently rated among Bengaluru’s best stays — The Isle aims to cater to the growing demand for experiential travel within close proximity to urban centers.

With over 43 million guests served, Wonderla’s latest venture seeks to redefine the leisure and staycation segment in India by combining entertainment, mindfulness, and nature under one integrated brand experience.
