Mammootty and Mohanlal with juniors and Prithviraj, Nivin Pauly, Dulquer with seniors
2016 is going to witness a unique trend in Malayalam cinema and it is related with the selection of films of our Superstars and young stars. Last year we saw the rise of young stars with young directors and super stars were a bit low doing films with some senior directors. Nivin Pauly, Dulquer Salmaan, Prithviraj etc won the box office battle with new generation film makers while Mammootty and Mohanlal tasted criticisms by doing films with some senior directors.
But 2016 is going in another direction. This year we can see a complete change in the perspective of these stars. As Mammootty and Mohanlal is all set to do some newcomers movies this year and youngsters like Prithviraj, Nivin Pauly and Dulquer Salmaan all set to experiment with some senior film makers as per reports.

As of now, Mohanlal is all set to do a film with director Jibu Jacob who had only done one film in his career. It was the blockbuster success named Vellimoonga. The shoot will start in February as per reports and is scripted by Sindhuraj and produced by Sophia Paul. Reports also coming in that he will do a film with G Prajith who had made his debut with the blockbuster Oru Vadakkan Selfie last year. Mammootty is always love to do films with newcomers and will continue the same trend by doing the maiden ventures of two directors this year. One will be a cop story from Nithin Renji Panicker and other will be the film directed by Sajeevan.
On the other hand Young stars will do a handful of films with senior directors this year as per reports. Nivin Pauly will have a Lal Jose project this year and also may do a Dr. Biju project. Dulquer Salmaan is all set to do film with Sathyan Anthikkad and he will also do a Pratap Pothen directorial film as well. Prithviraj also will have some films directed by seniors this year. The main projects will be with Hariharan (Syamanthakam) and with Blessy (Aadu Jeevitham).
Hope that all these decisions by our super stars and young stars will bring good luck and success to them and Mollywood.
