The article is written in a promotional manner so that it doesn't comply with WP:NPOV. The subject clearly fails WP:GNG and the content is supported by two bare urls. The article has provided IMDb as a main reference which is unacceptable according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines as underlined by Wikipedia:Citing IMDb.

Delete Fails WP:BASIC, the single reference from thehindu appears to be about as good as it gets for sourcing, and even it can hardly be considered significant. Searches yield only self-published and unreliable sources. I tried some google translate searching too and came up dry aside from self-published stuff, would be willing to reconsider if someone who's better at that sort of thing finds that there is indeed multiple reliable independent non-english sourcing that exists. 2604:2000:8FC0:4:68BA:3B32:8613:8B6D (talk) 01:01, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
