Mohanlal to star in big budget 3D movie Odiyan?
Mohanlal, who is going through a terrific box office run has already committed to a handful of big budget projects. According to latest reports, the actor will be seen in an upcoming movie titled as Odiyan. The movie will be directed by ad filmmaker Sreekumar. The myth has it that Odiyan is named after a man who is mastered in odividya, a black magic trick to tackle the enemies. The film is written by Harikrishnan.
Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Prakash Raj and Manju Warrier will also be playing prominent roles in the movie. It has been reported that movie will be made in 3D format in Malayalam.
When Times of India contacted the director he said, “The film is in a very premature stage. It is just a thought I had and I have no clue who is spreading all these. If anything progresses, I would definitely tell you.” If this project materializes it will be amazing to watch all these stars together on screen.
Right after the humongous success of Pulimurugan, Mohanlal changed gears and started signing for big budget movies. All his upcoming movies are highly anticipated mainly for the sheer scale in which they are being planned.
He is currently shooting for Major Ravi’s 1971 : Beyond Borders based on the 1971 war between India and Pakistan. It is a multistarrer featuring Tollywood actor Allu Sirish and Bollywood actor Arunoday Singh in pivotal characters.
His next with B Unnikrishnan is also a big budget movie also featuring popular Kollywood hero Vishal, Tollywood actor Srikanth and Hansika Motwani.
Another biggie waiting in the pipeline is the epic Randamoozham with Mohanlal and other leading stars from all major Indian languages.
Exciting days ahead for Mollywood!
