Wedding bells for Namitha!

Looks like its the season of weddings in the South film industry. After Priyamani Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Shruthy Menon, another actress is set to enter wedlock this year. Last day, actress Namitha took to her social media space to announce about her wedding.

Namitha is getting married to Veerandra Chowdhary aka Veer on November 24 at Tirupati. She announced it through a video which also featured her group of friends and Bigg Boss co-star Raiza Wilson. An elated Namitha seeked the love and blessings of all her well wishers for her marriage.

Namitha was a sensational actress in the South during the mid 2000s. By the end of the decade, she established herself as one of the most popular actresses in Tamil cinema and enjoyed a cult-like fan following from audiences across the state. She has worked with some popular stars like Vijay, Ajith, Mohanlal, Sarathkumar and Venkatesh Daggubati, in all four south Indian languages.

Some of Namitha’s most famous films are Englishkaran, Azhagiya Tamil Magan, Billa and the more recent Pulimurugan. She was last seen as a contestant on the inaugural edition of the Bigg Boss Tamil show hosted by Kamal Haasan.

Prithviraj is currently in Ooty shooting for his Anjali Menon film. The movie also stars comeback actress Nazriya Nazim and Parvathy in major roles. Latest addition to the camp is director Ranjith, who will be seen in a significant role in the film. Anjali Menon has scripted this movie based on relationships and their values.

Prithviraj and Nazriya play siblings in the film and Ranjith has been brought on board to play their father’s role. It is a performance oriented role and the director has good scope for showcasing his acting skills. He has previously acted in notable roles in films like Annayum Rasoolum, Gulmohar and Thirakkadha. Ranjith has also lent his powerful voice for narration in many films.

Ranjith’s association with Prithviraj goes way back to 2002 when he introduced the actor through his film Nandanam. They have later worked together in films like Ammakilikkoodu, Thirakkadha and Indian Rupee. Anjali Menon has previously collaborated with Ranjith in the anthology Kerala Cafe.

Dulquer Salmaan’s first proper mass entertainer getting ready!

Dulquer Salmaan’s first proper mass entertainer getting ready!

Dulquer Salmaan is unarguably one of the biggest crowd pullers in Malayalam cinema. His star power is massive and often gives a tough fight for other his peers and even the big Ms. A quick glance at Dulquer’s filmography and we can notice that he has not done a proper mass film till now. This is very strange considering the trend in all other industries where most established actors are into paisa vasool mass flicks.

Dulquer Salmaan has tried his hand in almost all the genres like romance, road film, revenge thriller, family drama, and even a multi-genre anthology film like Solo. But he is yet to star in a proper commercial mass entertainer. The wait is finally coming to an end as Dulquer has committed for one with writer duo Vishnu Unnikrishnan and Bibin George.

The duo has previously scripted two superhit films – Kattapanayile Rithwik Roshan and Amar Akbar Anthony. Both the films were directed by Nadirshah and both of them emerged as huge commercial successes. Their upcoming movie with Dulquer is also said to be on similar lines. The name of the director who will be helming this film is yet to be revealed.

As per reports, three producers have shown interest in funding this movie. An official announcement with the title and other cast and crew deatils is expected to be made next week. The team is planning to start shooting by February once Dulquer is free from his prior commitments. The actor is currently shooting in Chennai for his next Tamil film directed by debutant Desingh Periyasamy.

Chiyaan Vikram’s son Dhruv making is his entry to the industry with the remake of super hit Telugu movie Arjun Reddy. National award winner Bala is directing the movie. Mollywood’s leading production house E4 Entertainment is making their entry to K-Town by funding this film.

After lot of speculations, the makers have finally announced the movie’s title as ‘Varma’. It is most probably the surname of the protagonist played by Dhurv. The title poster also features a sketch of Dhruv in a bearded look.

Arjun Reddy, released earlier this year was a sensational success. The movie directed by debutant Sandeep Reddy Vanga was widely acclaimed, both by the critics as well as the commoners. The movie tells the story of a medical surgeon who falls madly in love with his college junior. Arjun becomes alcoholic post break-up and the rest of the story is about how he redeems himself.

Vijay Deverakonda’s stellar performance in the titular role has been rated as one of the finest in recent years. So, Dhruv has some big shoes to fill in with the Tamil version. Shalini Pandey played the female lead in the original. The heroine’s name for the Tamil version has not yet been revealed.

It must be noted that Varma’s director Bala was the one who gave Vikram his big break with the National award winning Sethu. It will be interesting to see how Bala introduces Dhruv to the industry. The director is renowned for his intense style of filmmaking, with most of his films having a dark and disturbing nature. With Arjun Reddy’s remake, Bala is expected to showcase an unseen side of his.

Let’s wait and watch how Bala presents Dhruv and how the youngster portrays this highly challenging role.

After Ranjith’s Puthan Panam, its B Unnikrishnan’s turn to make a movie based on demonetisation!

After Ranjith’s Puthan Panam, its B Unnikrishnan’s turn to make a movie based on demonetization!

Last year on the night of November 8, the whole of India was taken aback when Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation about the withdrawal of higher denomination notes. Demonetization of the 500 and 1000 rupee notes were implemented in a bid to curb the black money holders. Though the initial response from the public was good, slowly things started to worsen as shortage of money affected the day to day lives of the commoners. What followed was days of complete frenzy with people sweating it out in long queues before ATMs and banks to exchange their notes.

As demonetization turned one last day, the impact it has had on the public life is still a talking point. Since it is a socially relevant topic, filmmakers across the country have made films based on it. In Malayalam, director Ranjith’s Puthan Panam was the first to discuss this subject. The Mammootty starrer was released earlier this year amidst high expectations but failed at the box office.

Now according to latest reports, director B Unnikrishnan is planning to make a movie on demonetization with Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead. Journalist turned scriptwriter Sajeev Pazhoor is penning this film. Sajeev is best known for Dileesh Pothan’s Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, which earned widespread acclaim.

The upcoming Suraj Venjaramoodu starrer is reported to be titled as Indiaye Kandethal. Unlike the director’s previous thriller films, this one is a more socially relevant one. Suraj, who of late has been getting good roles, has a lot of scope for performance in this movie. An official announcement with more details about the cast and when the movie will actually go on floors is expected to be made in the coming weeks.

Kattapanayile Rithwik Roshan was one of the surprise hits of last year. The movie directed by Nadirshah had no big star but it went on to become a huge commercial success.

The latter, who till then was mostly confine to goofy sidekick roles, showcased his real potential in a full fledged role. The movie’s success brought many offers for both Vishnu and Dharmajan.

As per latest reports, the duo is teaming up once again to play the lead roles in Boban Samuel’s upcoming movie. Titled as Vikatakumaran, the movie is scripted by YV Rajesh. Manasa Radhakrishnan, who made an impressive debut with Asif Ali’s last release Kaattu has been roped in to play the female lead.

The movie is being produced by Arun Ghosh and Bijoy Chandran. An interesting thing about this film is that it also marks the reunion of the Romans team. Director Boban Samuel, writer YV Rajesh and the producers last worked together in the 2013 superhit film Romans, starring Kunchacko Boban and Biju Menon.

Vikatakumaran’s technical team comprises of composer Rahul Raj, lyricist BK Harinarayanan, cinematographer Ajay David Kachappilly and editor Deepu. Shoot will be commencing soon after Vishnu Unnikrishnan finishes his portions for Sugeeth’s Shikkari Shambu, co-starring Kunchacko Boban.
