- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Every source for this story reports from India.
The teaser for Maha Sakthi, the sequel to the 2020 hit Mookuthi Amman, has been released. Starring Nayanthara as the titular goddess, the film is directed by Sundar C and is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on November 6, 2026, during the Diwali window. The movie will be released in five languages: Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.
Both reports highlight a significant shift in tone from the original film. While the first installment was a comedy drama and social satire, the new teaser suggests a move toward a more serious, large scale mythological fantasy. One source describes the film as a devotional thriller that hints at a plot involving a queen's sacrifice and a new evil power played by Regina Cassandra. The supporting cast includes Yogi Babu, Urvashi, and Duniya Vijay, who is making his Tamil debut.
The production is handled by Vels Film International in association with Rowdy Pictures, Avni Media, and IVY Entertainment. The music is composed by Hiphop Tamizha. Digital streaming rights have been acquired by JioHotstar. The film is expected to share its release date with Suriya's film Scene.
