Pranav Mohanlal’s Aadhi likely to release on the same day as Narasimham released 17 years back!
Pranav Mohanlal’s debut film as a lead actor, Aadhi is one of the most awaited Malayalam movies of the season. Shoot is nearing completion with the final schedule set to start in Eranakulam very soon. This Jeethu Joseph directorial is tipped to an action packed revenge thriller.
As per latest reports, the makers are planning to release movie on Republic day next year. Incidentally, Mohanlal’s mega blockbuster Narasimham also released on the same day 17 years back in 2000. Both the movies are funded by the superstar’s own production house Aashirvad Cinemas. Mohanlal fans will be hoping to see Pranav repeat or even better the massive success of Narasimham.
In Aadhi, Pranav plays a typical urban youth who is into music and dance. At a particular point life takes a tumultuous turn and the rest of the events form an engaging plot. Jagpathi Babu, who played the menacing villain Daddy Girija in Pulimurugan, will be locking horns with Pranav in Aadhi.
The movie has some stylish action sequences choreographed by foreign stunt masters. Apparently, the movie has a lot of riveting chases and action blocks. Prior to the shoot, Pranav had undergone Parkour training in Bangkok for a few months as his character in the movie demands such traits.
Parkour is a form of acrobatic physical training that involves crossing obstacles by running, climbing, jumping, rolling and swinging. Since Pranav used to do gymnastics, skydiving and rock climbing, he has a fluid and flexible body language that helps him to perfom the stunts authentically. This technique has been featured in action scenes in many Hollywood movies like Casino Royale, Bourne Ultimatum, District 13 and Prince of Persia.
Aadhi is said to be a movie which lies on similar lines to Jeethu Joseph’s superhit movie Memories. Anusree, Alamara fame Aditi Ravi, Lena, Siju Wilson, Krishna Shankar Sharafudheen, Tony Luke, Siddique and Nobi are part of the supporting cast. Anil Johnson is composing the music and Ayoob Khan is handling the edits in Aadhi.
