Dulquer Salmaan’s Kali gets Telugu and Kannada versions

Dulquer Salmaan’s Kali gets Telugu and Kannada versions

Malayalam movies are always known for their solid content rather than the technical values. Several Malayalam movies have been remade in other langauges. For a brief while the trend of remakes seemed to dimnish but looks like it has picked up once again. After Bangalore Days, Premam and Charlie, now it’s Kali’s turn to get remade.

Sameer Thahir’s Kali starring Dulquer Salmaan and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles was an action thriller. The movie was more of a character study about the protagonist’s quick tempered nature which lands the couple in trouble in a remote area. Since the story can be set in any milieu, the movie is getting dubbed in Telugu and a remake version in Kannada.

The Kannada version titled as Kidi is gearing up to hit screens this month. The movie marks the directorial debut of S Raghu, a renowned choreographer. Bhuvan and debutant Pallavi are playing the lead roles in the movie.

Reportedly, a popular Telugu distributor is planning to dub the movie. It is learnt that the success of Sai Pallavi’s debut Telugu film Fidaa has inspired a dubbed version for Kali. Kali will be Dulquer’s second Telugu remake after the romantic entertainer 100 Days Of Love.

Kali released in 2016 was a commercial success. Critics also appreciated the team for the lead pair’s performance and Sameer Thahir’s direction. We will have to wait and see if the Telugu and Kannada versions can also repeat the same.

Villain surpasses Pulimurugan’s record even before its release

The wait for Mohanlal starrer Villain is getting impatient every passing day. Villian, directed by B Unnikrishnan is probably one of the most anticipated films of this year. The movie is currently in it’s final stages of post production and is expected to hit screens during the Pooja holidays.

There is a tremendous hype for Villain since the movie has many big stars from other industries and also the involvement of a production house like Rockline Films. Staying true to this massive hype, the movie has already started doing great pre-release business.

If reports are to be believed, Villain’s satellite rights has been acquired by Surya TV for a record amount. The movie has broken the previous record held by Pulimurugan, which is the first and only 100 crore grosser of Malayalam cinema. If the pre-release hype is anything to go, Villain will also have a great run in box office.

As reported by us earlier, the makers are eyeing to release the movie in 3 languages simultaneously. Presumably, the movie will be released in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu languages. Besides Mohanlal, the movie also has the presence of big stars like Vishal, Hansika and Srikanth who can attract the non-Malayali audience to theatres. This is a great move by the makers which will definitely boost the box office earnings.

Villain is a crime thriller in which Mohanlal will be seen as Mathew Manjooran, a police officer. Manju Warrier is playing his wife’s role in the movie. This movie funded by Rockline Venkatesh is said to be the first Indian movie to be shot completely and released in 8K resolution.

Mollywood’s young stars eyeing big in Tamil cinema

Malayalis have always been welcoming of Tamil movies but the same cannot be said about the Tamil audience. This trend is changing positively as Malayalam movies, especially those with younger crop of actors, are getting acceptance among the Tamilians.

Actors like Nivin Pauly and Dulquer Salmaan have fair share of popularity in Tamil Nadu courtesy the success of films like Bangalore Days, Premam, Charlie etc. Apart from these two actors, Fahadh Faasil and Tovino Thomas have also signed for Tamil films. Dulquer and Nivin lead the pack with three films each followed by Fahadh with two.

Nivin Pauly made his Tamil debut by starring in Alphonse Puthren’s bilingual movie Neram. However, it was the sensational success of Premam that won him scores of fans in the neighbouring state. His first staright Tamil film Richie is expected to hit screens this month. He has also committed for two other Tamil movies; both with debutant filmmakers – Prabhu Radhakrishnan and Surya Balakaumran.

Like Nivin, Dulquer also made his Tamil debut with a bilingual- Vaayai Moodi Pesavum. His performance in Mani Ratnam’s OK Kanmani was highly appreciated and made him popular among the Tamil audience. His next release is Solo, a Tamil-Malayalam bilingual directed by Bejoy Nambiar. He has also signed for two other Tamil films, again with newcomers – Desingh Periyasamy and Ra Karthik.

Fahadh Faasil, arguably the most talented young actor in the south, has been roped in for two Tamil movies this year. He is playing the antagonist’s role in Thani Oruvan director Mohan Raja’s next which stars Sivakarthikeyan in the lead. The movie titled as Velaikaaran also stars Nayanthara, Sneha and Prakash Raj in major roles. Besides Velaikaaran, Fahadh is also playing a prominent role in National award winner Thiagarajan Kumararaja’s new movie titled as Aneethi Kathaigal. It is an anthology of five movies which also has Vijay Sethupathy, Samantha and Nadia Moidu in the lead roles.

Tovino Thomas is gradually raising to the big league, riding on the back of a string of successful films. He is making his Tamil debut with a bilingual titled as Abi & Anu. Pia Bajpai is playing the female lead in this romantic entertainer directed by BR Vijayalakshmi, Asia’s first woman cinematographer. Abi & Anu is Tovino’s first attempt in playing a full length romantic character and that itself is very exciting. The movie is scheduled to release on September 22.

Besides the above mentioned stars, Prithviraj and Indrajith have also committed for projects in Tamil cinema. Prithviraj is playing one of the leads in Gautham Menon’s multilingual rumored to be titled as Ondraga. His brother Indrajith is part of D16 fame Karthik Naren’s next movie titled as Naragasooran.

Abi & Anu looks like Tovino Thomas’ first full length romantic movie

We had reported about Tovino Thomas, Mollywood’s one of the most promising young actor, doing a Malayalam/Tamil bilingual film. The first title and first look poster was unveiled last day. The movie is titled Abi & Anu and the first look poster features Tovino and Pia Bajpai in it.

Abi & Anu marks the directorial debut of cinematographer BR Vijayalakshmi. She is noted for being Asia’s first woman cinematographer. She has worked in several popular films as DOP and has also scripted the Malayalam movie Daddy, which had Arvind Swamy in the lead.

Abi & Anu is said to be based on a true incident that happened in Brazil. Tovino has already shown in potential in playing tough roles with his performance in films like 7th Day, ABCD, Guppy and Style. Humour also comes naturally to him as we have seen in films like You Too Brutus and Godha.

Abi & Anu will be his first attempt in playing a full length romantic character. Looks like the audience will get to see another unexplored side of this highly promising actor. Veteran actors Prabhu, Suhasini and Rohini are playing supporting roles in this movie. Shoot has already been completed. The team shot extensively in various parts of Kerala and Chennai.

Wow! Mani Ratnam pulls off a casting coup for his next

Wow! Mani Ratnam pulls off a casting coup for his next?

Ever since Kaatru Veliyidai released, there have been a whole lot of speculations about the lead cast in Mani Ratnam’s next film. Ram Charan, Abishek Bachchan, Naani, Fahad Fassil, Madhavan and more recently Vijay Sethupathy were some of the names that were doing the rounds in connection with his upcoming movie.

Now, reports are doing the rounds that Mani Ratnam’s next will be a big budget multistarrer. Talks are abuzz that the director is trying to rope in Dulquer Salmaan, Fahadh Faasil, Arvind Swamy and Vijay Sethupathy for his next movie. That’s indeed a star studded line up.

Recently, Vijay Sethupathy had met Mani Ratnam at his office to discuss about this project. The director was also present for the press meet function of Dulquer’s Solo. So there are reports that they are taking this ambitious project forward.

It must be noted that among this big line up, only Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathy have not previously worked with Mani Ratnam. Interestingly enough, both these incredible actors are also part of National Award winner Thiagaraja Kuamararaja’s upcoming movie titled as Aneethi Kathaigal.

All the four actors have a good market in the South especially Dulquer and Vijay Sethupathy. If Mani Ratnam manages to get all four of them on board, it will be nothing short of a dream come true moment. The legendary filmmaker’s last release Kaatru Veliyidai, a highly anticipated love story starring Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari, was a disappointing affair at the box office. So the director will be itching to get back to some much needed success. It was already confirmed that Santhosh Sivan will be cranking the camera and AR Rahman will be scoring the music for the director’s next.

Dulquer Salmaan, Fahadh Faasil, Arvind Swamy and Vijay Sethupathy together on screen. This can’t get any better. But lets wait for an official confirmation from the director’s side.

Action Hero Bjiu was the mega bumper after which offers started pouring in: Suraj Venjaramoodu

Suraj Venjaramoodu’s acting career can be divided into two halves; before winning the National Award and after that. After becoming the country’s best actor in 2014, there is a remarkable growth in Suraj’s career graph. He has been part of many good films that has offered him great scope for performance. His recent outing Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum saw him play one of the leads alongside another terrific actor Fahadh Faasil.

Director Dileesh Pothan’s decision to cast Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead role of Prasad was widely appreciated. Suraj fitted the bill perfectly as a middle aged good hearted young man. Initially, the idea was to cast Fahadh in this role but Dileesh changed his plans after watching Suraj’s tear-jerking performance in Action Hero Biju.

Suraj Venjaramoodu in a recent interview admitted that eventhough he won the National Award for Perariyathavar, it was his role in Action Hero Biju that opened the flood gates for many good offers. In the Abrid Shine directorial, he played a hapless man whose wife cheats on him. He is broken when his wife tells that he is not the real father of his daughter. The whole sequence lasted for just around 10 minutes but the impact that had in the viewers mind was huge.

He is quoted saying, “I was fortunate enough to receive the award for Perariyathavar. But the mega bumper was Action Hero Biju. That one scene in the film where my character is told that he is not the real father of his child registered in people’s minds than the award as Perariyathavar wasn’t a commercial film. From then on, the roles started pouring in.”

Suraj Venjaramoodu will be next seen in a major role in Sidharth Bharathan’s Varnyathil Ashanka also starring Kunchako Boban, Shine Tom Chacko and Chemban Vinod Jose. He is also playing an important character in Abhaasam which also has Rima Kallingal. Kuttanpillayude Shivarathri, directed by Angels fame Jean Markose stars Suraj in the lead role.

Vijay Sethupathy fans had more reason to rejoice as the latest poster of his upcoming movie 96 has been released. Similar to the first look poster, which was designed with 90s nostalgia, this new one is also very much intriguing. Vijay Sethupathy can be seen sitting on his back with a camera by his side.

The movie is being shot in picturesque loactions in Spiti Valley, Rajasthan, and Kolkata. Veteran actor Janakaraj, Vinothini and Kaali Venkat are playing prominent roles in the movie.

Newbie Ratheesh Ravi has written this movie. The movie’s story is centred around the events occurring after Rajakumaran reaches Kochi.

He is a fabulous story teller and the film will reveal the reasons for the same.

Asha Sharath is also playing the role of a teacher in this movie. It’s been a while since the audience were treated to a proper fun entertainer from Mammootty and Pullikkaran Staraa seems to be exactly what the families seek during this Onam season.
