Major Ravi to team up with Mammootty
Major Ravi’s latest movie 1971 Beyond Borders was released yesterday. The movie starring Mohanlal in a dual role is the fourth in the Major Mahadevan series. Critics have mostly given mixed reviews to this war drama based on the 1971 Indo- Pak war.
The latest we hear is that Major Ravi is planning to team up with Megastar Mammootty in the near future. Sources within the industry inform us that Mammootty is keen on doing an action movie with Major Ravi out of the usual army based films. The two have earlier worked together in Mission 90 Days released in 2007.
It was Major Ravi’s second directorial venture after the blockbuster Keerthichakra. The Mammootty starrer was based on the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and the following investigation. Even though the movie was not a commercial success, it is still considered as one of the best works of Major Ravi.
We had earlier told you that after 1971 Beyond Borders, Major Ravi will be working on a romantic story. The director has roped in Nivin Pauly to play the lead role while a newcomer will be playing the female lead. This yet to be titled movie is said to be inspired from true events. Popular cinematographer Jomon T John is venturing into production through this movie.
Major Ravi, recently also spilled beans about his idea to make a big budget movie with Mohanlal, as a fifth installment in the Major Mahadevan series. Mahadevan this time will be spearheading a rescue operation and the movie will set entirely in foreign countries.
We are still not sure which among these three projects will first go on floors. Stay tuned, we will keep you updated.
