The ultimate Super star of Mollywood Mohanlal and the young super star of Mollywood Prithviraj is all prepared to share screen space this year much to the delight of the admirers and followers of both of them. And the film in which they are going to share the screen space will be Kanal which will be conceived by the popular Film maker M.Padmakumar who delivered super hit like Shikkar starring Mohanlal and is the one who directed the film Vasthavam and the character in which helped Prithviraj to bag his first Kerala state award for the Best actor. And both Mohanlal and Prithviraj had fond memories of their association with M Padmakumar.
M .Padmakumar had started him film career with a Prithviraj starrer film name Amma Kilikkood which was written by none other than the most valuable writer of Mollywood Mr. Ranjith. Even though that film was a critically appreciated effort it does not made the money bells ringing at the box office of mollywood. It was released way back in 2003 and M Padmakumar followed it with 2 Prithviraj starrers named Vargam and Vasthavam in which Vasthavam had won the much deserved accolades as it was a really well made one which got released in 2006.
After that Padmakumar done a film with Mammootty in the lead titled Parunthu which was a disaster at box office as the Mohanlal film which was released along with him titled Madambi which was helmed by B Unnikrishnan had gone on to become a mega success. And then comes his first real box office success and that too a great one with Mohanlal in the lead and that was his first association with the universal star. The screen writer of that film was S. Suresh Babu and he is the one who is writing the screenplay of the upcoming Mohanlal- Prithviraj starrer Kanal as well.
M.Padmakumar and S Suresh Babu team had done another film named Thiruvambadi Thamban together as well but sadly it not received well at box office and Jayaram was the male lead in that film. The work of this film Kanal will hopefully begin after Mohanlal finishes his current film conceiving by Ranjith named Loham.
