Earlier in an interview, Rosshan Andrews had revealed that the plot is about how a commoner turns into a very dangerous man. Legends on Kochunni’s life are part of the Indian folklore.

Then it was Mohanlal, who now to reprise the role of MGR?

Then it was Mohanlal, who now to reprise the role of MGR?

MGR was an actor, filmmaker and politician who enjoys a popularity among the Tamilians like no one else has. He is a cultural icon of the state and he is regarded as one of the most influential actors of the Tamil film industry.

Currently, filmmaker A Balakrishnan is making a biopic on this legend. The script works have already been completed and the director is planning to approach Sathyaraj to reprise the role of MGR in the film. Balakrishnan has previously directed the biopic on legendary Tamil politician K Kamaraj.

Sathyaraj has apparently seen this film and has praised the filmmaker for his good work. So the director is confident of getting Sathyaraj on board for his biopic on MGR.

Earlier in 1997, legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam directed the movie Iruvar, which was loosely based on the lives of MGR and Karunanidhi. It is rated as one of the all time classics of Indian cinema.

Mohanlal’s performance as Anandhan, a character inspired from MGR, was hugely appreciated. Unlike other actors, who tend to mimic or imitate MGR’s voice and antics, Mohanlal brought an unique flavour of his own. Till date, Anandhan remains one of the best acts of Mohanlal on screen.

Sultan gearing up for release in China; Will it be able to outperform Dangal?

While Salman Khan’s recent release Tubelight is getting lukewarm response from the critics as well as the common audience, here is a much needed happy news for Salman and his fans. His last year’s Eid release, Sultan is all set to be releases in China.

Every year China allows the release of around 34 foreign movies including four Indian movies. The other three Indian releases this year were Aamir Khan’s Dangal, SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Conclusion and Salman Khan’s Tubelight.

Sultan’s release in China was confirmed by trade analyst Taran Adarsh. He tweeted,

“#Sultan to release in China later this year… Meanwhile, #Sultan wins Best Action Movie Award at Shanghai International Film Festival.”

Recently, Sultan won the Best Action Movie award at the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF). This makes it the first Indian film to win this prestigious honour.

Sultan during it’s initial theatrical run in the Indian box office had raked in a whopping Rs 421.25 crore. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan’s Dangal has been doing some phenomenal business in China. The movie has grossed Rs 1210.50 from the Chinese box office.

Both Dangal and Sultan are wrestling dramas, though the Aamir Khan starrer is more of a biopic inspired from real life events. Sultan is a complete commercial entertainer with Salman’s herisom, romance with Anushka Shetty and obviously wrestling. We will have to wait and watch to see if Sultan can outperform Dangal in the Chinese box office.
