Confirmed: Dulquer Salmaan in Vishnu Unnikrishnan and Bibin George’s next!

Last few days social medias were abuzz with reports about Dulquer Salmaan and Jayaram teaming up for a mass entertainer. The duo was reported to be sharing screen space in writer duo Vishnu Unnikrishnan and Bibin George’s next movie. However, only a part of that is true as it is a single hero subject.

Dulquer Salmaan has committed for the duo’s next film which is to be directed by a debutant filmmaker. Though there are reports about Bibin turning a director with this movie, nothing has been officially confirmed yet. The project is definitely on and they are planning to go on floors by December or early next year. A photo of Dulquer with Vishnu and Bibin are doing the rounds in social medias.

The duo have made a mark for themselves in the industry with their first two scripts – Amar Akbar Anthony and Kattapanayile Rithwik Roshan. Both the movies were directed by Nadirshah and both turned out to be big hits. Their next with Dulquer Salmaan is also expected to be on similar lines.

Dulquer has not done an out and out mass masala entertainer till now and this one will just be the perfect start he might have hoped for. An official announcement of the title along with other details regarding the cast and crew members are expected to be made very soon.

Dulquer is arguably the busiest Malayali actor currently. He has got several projects lined up, not just in Malayalam but in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi as well. He recently finished shooting for Karwaan, his Hindi debut also starring Irrfan Khan and Mithila Palkar in major roles. He will soon be joining the sets of his new Tamil movie to be directed by debutant Desingh Periyasamy. Lal Jose’s Oru Bhayankara Kamukan is also set to go on floors.

Adirindhi: Excellent opening for Mersal’s Telugu version!

Adirindhi: Excellent opening for Mersal’s Telugu version!

After raking in over Rs 225 crores worldwide from the Tamil version alone, Vijay’s Mersal is now eyeing a hunt in the Telugu box office. The Telugu version titled Adirindhi has hit screens today in the twin Telugu states. The movie has opened to excellent response in all the centres. Since the movie has all commercial elements that a normal Telugu audience would love to see, it is expected to do some great business there.

Mersal caught nationwide attention after the ruling BJP demanded removal of scenes that allegedly criticised their schemes. The party’s political pressure has failed to aftect Mersal’s box office earnings but has forced the makers to mute the scenes in the Telugu version. The much talked about GST speech of Vijay and a portion of Vadivelu’s dialogue about Digital India have been muted.

Adirindhi gives Vijay the chance to have his best ever box office run in Telugu states. The blockbuster success of Mersal and all the curiosity on it post the row with BJP are big positives for the movie. Vijay enjoys good popularity in the Telugu speaking states and the presence of actors like Sathyaraj, Nithya Menen, Samantha and Kajal Agarwal has grabbed the attention of the audience. Also, Baahubali’s writer Vijendra Prasad is associated with this Vijay film which is another major highlight.

Meanwhile, Mersal has emerged as the new industrial hit of Tamil cinema. It is now the highest grossing Tamil film beating the records held by superstar Rajinikanth’s Enthiran and Kabali. Although Enthiran and Kabali had grossed over Rs 250 crores at the box office, the films were released as multilinguals unlike Mersal which was released in just one language. With the release of Adirindhi, the figures are expected to go up further.

This Atlee directorial is a commercial mass entertainer in which Vijay plays a triple role as a village head, a doctor and a magician. It is a a regular revenge story that also lets out a very relevant social message about the medical facilities in our country. This big budget film is funded by Thenandal Film Studios.

After being impressed by the narrative, Mammootty himself came forward to produce the film. The makers have maintained high secrecy about this film which has naturally piqued the curiosity among the audience.

Unlike most bilinguals, Streetlights was shot separately in both languages with different set of actors. The Malayalam verison stars Joy Mathew, Dharmajan Bolgatty, Neena Kurup, Lijomol Jose, Sohan Seenulal, Indrans, Sudhi Koppa and Harish Kanaran among others.

Veteran actor Pandiarajan, his son Prithvi Rajan, Manobala, Black Pandi, Motta Rajendran and some other noted supporting actors feature in the Tamil version. The movie doesn’t have a heroine as such, as it is a tale of many characters.

Debutant Adarsh Abraham has composed the songs and Iyobinte Pusthakam fame Yakzan Pereira and Neha Nair are handling the background score and. Director Shamdat’s brother Sadat Sainudeen has cranked the camera.

An official word regarding the exact release date will be made only after the dubbing works for the Telugu version is completed.

Salman Khan’s Tiger Zinda Hai forces makers of Take Off to drop their Hindi remake plans!

Parvathy starrer Take Off is one of the biggest hits in Malayalam industry this year. Editor Mahesh Narayanan made his directorial debut with this movie. Take Off was widely acclaimed for its making and the performance of the lead actors. Kunchako Boban, Fahadh Faasil and Asif Ali essayed major roles in the movie which was inspired from real life events. It is a fictionalized account of the 2014 incident when a group of Indian nurses were held captive in the Tikrit region in Iraq.

Take Off was made as a tribute to late filmmaker Rajesh Pillai. Staying within the limited resources of Malayalam industry, the team delivered an incredible output. The movie featured some never before seen visual grandeur in a Malayalam movie. Since the subject discussed in the movie in was appealable to the national audience, the makers of Take Off were planning to remake the movie in a much bigger scale in Hindi.

However, they now seemed to have dropped the idea as Salman Khan’s upcoming release Tiger Zinda Hai (TZH) is also based on the some incident. The makers of TZH had kept the plot tightly guarded before revealing it with the recently released trailer. Salman and Katrina play anti-terrorist agents from India and Pakistan, respectively, in this sequel to their 2012 film Ek Tha Tiger. TZH is based on how these two agents rescue the nurses from the terrorists in Iraq. Several shots in movie’s trailer has strong resemblance to Take Off.

Since both the films are based on the same incident, it is healthy to see one of them back away so that they can avoid commercial losses. Tiger Zinda Hai directed by Ali Abbas Zafar looks very promising with enough elements to please Salman Khan’s fans. The movie is set to storm screens worldwide on December 22.
