Many Tamil movies were offered to me post Premam : Nivin Pauly
One of the hot favourites in South India among the younger generation, Nivin Pauly has been enjoying a glorious two-three years professionally. The actor had only two releases this year, but both of them were blockbuster successes.
He started the year with Abrid Shine’s Action Hero Biju, a different take on a police story. His next movie was his mentor’s Jacobinte Swargarajyam, a family entertainer. Success of both the movies have spiked his career graph to further heights.
The actor has been very busy for the past few months acting in three movies in two different languages. Njandukalude Naatil Oridavela, Sakhavu and Gautham Ramachandran’s yet to be titled Tamil movie are the three projects that the actor was juggling between for the past few months.
In a recent interview, Nivin Pauly talked about his experience working in Kollywood industry. He became popular among the Tamil masses after the sensational success of his biggest hit till date- Premam, released in 2015. The movie enjoyed a theatrical run of more than 250 days in Tamil Nadu.
Post the success of Premam, Nivin was approached with many scripts and the actor like always has been very choosy in selecting the scripts. He zeroed in on Gautham Ramachandran’s yet to be titled movie which is reportedly an official remake of Kannada superhit movie Ulidavru Kandanthe.
Santa Maria and Avargal are some of the titles doing the rounds about the movie, but Nivin maintains that they are yet to choose a title.
The movie will be set in a costal area in which Nivin will be seen as a stubborn, fearless rowdy like character. The actor is yet to finish dubbing for the movie.
Nivin Pauly has also signed for two other projects in Tamil. Debutant Surya Balakaumran’s movie which will produced by Theri director Atlee and another with Prabhu Radhakrishnan produced by R D Raja. He has said that both the movies have brilliant concepts and also assured that they will be top quality movies.
Nivin Pauly is also in talks with popular director Gautham Vasudev Menon for a movie. Earlier, the director had mentioned about making a romantic entertainer with Nivin in the lead.
It is also not clear whether Gautham Menon is trying to rope in Nivin for the Tamil remake of Telugu super hit movie Pelli Choopulu, rights for which were bought by him few months back.
