Solo is an anthology in which Dulquer Salmaan plays four different characters, Bejoy Nambiar

Ever since it was announced that Bejoy Nambiar, noted for his films like Shaitan, David, Wazir etc, is doing a bilingual with Dulquer Salmaan, expectations were soaring high. The team released the first look poster recently on the occasion of Dulquer’s birthday. A 33 second teaser video was also released which gave a glimpse of something spectacular in store for the audience.

There have been a lot of speculations about Solo being an anthology and Dulquer doing multiple roles. Director Bejoy Nambiar in a recent interview confirmed the same and opened up more about the movie. Solo is a multi genre film that revolves around the four elements – earth, wind, fire and water.

Dulquer is playing four different characters which are somehow connected to the four elements. Bejoy Nambiar, who has also scripted the film, has woven these elements into four stories with love and revenge as the premise. It is a mix-genre attempt and the movie has an unique treatment.

Since Solo is made as a bilingual, the movie has a plethora of actors from industries across the country. Bollywood actor Dino Morea, Ann Augustine, Arti Venkatesh, Kabali fame Sai Dhansika, Deepti Sati, Marathi actress Sai Tamhankar, Sruthi Hariharan, Manoj K Jayan, Prakash Belawadi, Bengali filmmaker Quashiq Mukherjee, Sathish, Soubin Shahir, John Vijay and many others are part of the cast.

Music for the movie is composed by 11 different composers which includes several leading bands as well. Girish Gangadharan, Sejal Shah and Madhu Neelakandan have cranked the camera for the movie.

Abraham Mathew has produced the Malayalam version under the banner of Abaam Movies. Tamil version is jointly funded by Anil Jain and Bejoy Nambiar. The movie is slated to hit screens in September this year.

Kattappa’ Sathyaraj lands a prominent role in Sangamithra

Veteran actor Sathyaraj is now a popular face all across the country thanks to his role of Kattappa in SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali series. His character Kattappa had almost equal prominence to the lead roles and his performance as the loyal warrior was highly appreciated by the critics as well as the common audience.

Now according to latest reports, Sathyaraj has landed a crucial role in the upcoming magnum opus Sangamithra. This Sundar C directorial is being planned as the most expensive Tamil movie ever. Sri Thenandal Films is reportedly investing over Rs 250 crores for this massive project.

If reports are to be believed, Sathyaraj will be seen in a pivotal character in the film. Sangamithra is also an epic period film on the lines of Baahubali. The movie, written and directed by Sundar C, was supposed to have Shruti Haasan in the titular role. However, she opted out of the project after they had an high profile launch in the Cannes Film Festival.

Jayam Ravi and Arya are playing the male leads in the movie. The movie is set in the 8th century AD and both the actors are tipped to be playing warriors in the film. Jayam Ravi and Arya have been undergoing rigorous training in horse riding, physical combat and other weapon-based martial arts training.

Sathyaraj’s casting is yet to be officially confirmed by the makers of Sangamithra. Meanwhile, he is also playing a integral part in Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s upcoming movie Mersal, also produced by Sri Thenandal Films. Venkat Prabhu’s multi starrer Party is another movie in the veteran’s kitty.

The first look poster and teaser of Dulquer Salmaan’s Solo was released two days back on his birthday. The teaser has been getting phenomenal response and it continues to trend virally across social media platforms. The 33 second video gives a glimpse of what’s in store in this highly anticipated film.

The teaser was unveiled at a press meet held in Chennai, which was attended by Dulquer, director of the movie Bejoy Nambiar, Mani Ratanam, Rajiv Menon and others invitees from media.

Cinematographer-turned-filmmaker Rajiv Menon also had some nice words about Bejoy, Dulquer and their film Solo. Bejoy, who has also written the film, said that it was quite a tough task to complete the film. Since it’s a bilingual, they had to shoot every scene twice.

Dulquer also thanked the audience of both the industries for their continuous support and encouragement.

“The audience, both in Malayalam and Tamil industry, are very accepting and encouraging. They give us the courage to do content-rich stories. Solo is a very courageous film.

Kamal Haasan responds to talks about his daughter Akshara’s conversion to Buddhism

Despite being one of the most revered actors the nation has ever produced, Kamal Haasan has been criticised on many occassions for hurting religious sentiments with his talks and through his movies. But Kamal has stood ground that he is an atheist and continues to believe in the same.

Recently, social medias were abuzz that his younger daughter Akshara Haasan has taken up Buddhism. Some Twitter users even went to the extent of mocking Kamal Haasan publicly over her daughter’s alleged religious choice. There have also been a number of media reports claiming that Akshara has changed her religion.

Finally, Kamal Haasan has responded and he did it openly on a public platform. He took to his Twitter page to ask if Akshara if she really had changed her religion. He added that even if she has, he is complete okay with it. He would be supporting her and continue to love her no matter what.

Here’s Kamal Haasan’s tweet,

Hi. Akshu. Have you changed your religeon? Love you, even if you have. Love unlike religeon is unconditional. Enjoy life . Love- Your Bapu

Daughter Akshara Haasan was prompt in replying to her dad’s tweet. She wrote,

Mani Ratnam likely to team up with Vijay Sethupathy for his next

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

However, latest reports from Kollywood medias suggest that Mani Ratnam might rope in Vijay Sethupathy, the most happening actor in K -Town for his next flick. Reportedly, Vijay Sethupathi had recently met Mani Ratnam at his office to discuss about this project.

Vijay Sethupathi is currently basking in the sensational success of his latest outing Vikram Vedha, a cop-gangster drama also starring R Madhavan. The ‘Makkal Selvan’, as he is popularly called, has been getting rave reviews for his outstanding performance as Vedha, a grey shaded ruthless gangster.

If Mani Ratnam manages to get Vijay Sethupathy on board for his next flick it will be a huge treat for their respective fans. The director is known for sketching solid characters that will provide great scope for perfomance. And with an excellent actor like Vijay Sethupathy, the impact will be multifold.

Mani Ratnam’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. Vijay Sethupathy’s new found crowd puller image will also be helpful in reaping commercial success. Waiting for an official word from either of them about this exciting collaboration.
