Mani Ratnam to team up with Fahadh Faasil?

Mani Ratnam to team up with Fahadh Faasil?

For the last few months, there have been several reports about director Mani Ratnam planning a Tamil-Telugu bilingual. Names like Dulquer Salmaan, Nani, Mahesh Babu and Ram Charan have been doing the rounds for sometime now. Now, speculations are rife about Mani Ratnam approaching Fahadh Faasil to play the lead in this movie.

Several medias have reported about this news but there is still no official confirmation from either side. Mani Ratnam’s last release was Kaatru Veliyidai starring Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari in the lead roles. The movie, which was an intense romantic drama, opened to extreme reviews with a section calling it another great work from the legend while some criticised it as an underwhelming product.

Post the release of Kaatru Veliyidai, there has been a lot of speculations about Mani Ratnam’s next project. It has been reported that the director will retain Aditi for his bilingual film, that he has been planning for sometime now. Now since Fahadh’s names are doing the rounds, let’s hope it turns out to be true. If the project materializes, we will get to see the ace filmmaker calling shots for one of the finest actors of this generation.

Fahadh, who was initially hesitant to take up projects outside Malayalam as he was apprehensive about his lack of fluency in other languages, is now open to other language films. He is currently doing two Tamil films- Velaikkaran with Mohan Raja also starring Sivakarthikeyan, Nayanthara and Thyagarajan Kumararaja’s yet-to-be titled film which also stars Vijay Sethupathy, Samantha, Mysskin and Nadia Moidu. Velaikkaran, Fahadh’s debut Tamil film has him in the antagonist’s role. The movie is slated to hit screens on September 29.

Kammattipaadam fame Manikandan Achari in a comic role in Basheerinte Premalekhanam

Director Aneesh Anwar’s Basheerinte Premalekhanam is all set to hit screens on July 21. The movie stars Njan Steve Lopez fame Farhaan Faasil and Mariyamukku fame Sana Althaf in the lead roles. It is a romantic comedy revolving around the incidents that occurs after the arrival of an Onida TV in a fictional village in the 80s.

https://www.facebook.com/iamaneeshanwar/videos/1430121530410512/

Manikandan Achari, who won widespread appreciation and accolades for his performance in Kammattipaadam, is playing a pivotal role in Basheerinte Premalekhanam. His performance as Balan in the Rajeev Ravi directorial was arguably one of the best ever from a debutant. He owned a space of his own in the movie despite the presence of actors like Dulquer Salmaan and Vinayakan.

Unlike his character in Kammattipaadam, he will be seen in a humorous role in Basheerinte Premalekhanam. Eventhough, Manikandan has played a comic role in the Sunny Wayne starrer Alamara, this role will show another dimension of the actor.

He has two different looks in the film as his character appears in different timelines. The makers had earlier released a romantic track, Laila Laila which featured Manikandan and Ranjini Jose in it. He is seen as a love smitten young man in the song. In the trailer, we can seen him in an aged get-up. Sources close to the unit inform that Manikandan’s performance will be one of the major highlights of the film.

Basheerinte Premalekhanam is written jointly by Shinod Sivam, Bipin K Paulose and Shamseer Ahamed. Veteran actors Madhu and Sheela are essaying pivotal characters in the movie.

Joy Mathew, Harish Kanaran, Aju Varghese, Shanavas, Suraj Harris, Sreejith Ravi, Sohan Seenulal, Sunil Sugatha, Manikandan, Asha Aravind and Sivaji Guruvayoor are also part of the cast. P M Harris and Mohammed Althaf have produced the movie under the banner of Fort Entertainment.

Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum fame Nimisha Sajayan plays a college student in Eeda

Nimisha Sajayan is currently basking in the glory that her debut outing Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum has brought. She is getting appreciation from all corners for her performance as Sreeja, one of the lead characters in the Dileesh Pothan directorial.

After watching her effortless portrayal of a small town woman, it is hard to believe that Nimisha is a model born and brought up in Mumbai. Soon after the release of her debut film, Nimisha grabbed her next offer. She is playing the female lead in National award winning editor B Ajithkumar’s debut directorial Eeda, which stars Shane Nigam as the male protagonist.

In Eeda, Nimisha will be seen in a role which is very much unlike the one in Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum. She is playing the role of Aishwarya, a college student in the film. Shane Nigam’s character is an MBA graduate who works in an insurance company. It is a romantic film, revolving around how the two meet and what happens afterwards. Shoot for the movie is progressing and Nimisha is enjoying the challenge of acting alongside Shane Nigam, who is undoubtedly one of the most talented young actors around.

Director B Ajithkumar has also scripted the movie. Eeda is a Kozhikode/Kannur slang for ‘ivide’ which means here. Ajithkumar has worked as an editor in several acclaimed films like Ottal, Liar’s Dice, Naalu Pennungal etc. Award winning cinematographer- turned- filmmaker Rajeev Ravi is producing this movie under the banner of Collective Phase One.
