Vinayan confirms about his plans to team up with Mohanlal for a movie based on Ravanan

Recently, director Vinayan had announced that he would soon be teaming up with superstar Mohanlal. During its announcement itself, he had made it clear that it will be a project made on a big canvas. Last day, the director had shared a painting of an artist’s impression of Mohanlal as the mythological character Ravanan. It soon triggered speculations in social medias about Vinayan and Mohanlal teaming up for a film on Ravanan.

The director has now made it clear that he indeed has plans to do such a film. He will be meeting Mohanlal this month to discuss the project and an official confirmation will be made only after that. According to Vinayan, he was always fascinated by the character of Ravanan and wishes to make a film that portrays him as the hero. He is now waiting for a nod from Mohanlal’s part.

Vinayan also firmly believes that if he could make a movie like ‘Athbhutha Dweepu’, fourteen years back with minimal available resources, he can easily make an epic film today, with the help of VFX and other latest techniques. The director is currently working on the sequel to his superhit horror flick, ‘Akashanganga’. He has also committed for a film with Jayasurya.

Mohanlal on the other hand has multiple projects coming up. Later this month, he will start shooting for ‘Ittymaani Made In China’, directed by debutant duo Jibi-Joju. ‘Big Brother’ with veteran Siddique, and an untitled film with Arun Gopy are his other projects in the pipeline.
