After Kunjikoonan, Chanthupottu and Mayamohini; Dileep to undergo a makeover once again

After Kunjikoonan, Chanthupottu and Mayamohini; Dileep to undergo a makeover once again

Actor Dileep is currently in the US for a show along with his family and troupe. His last outing, Georgettan’s Pooram could not make any impact in the box office. The latest we hear about the actor is that he has committed for a movie with his close friend and filmmaker Nadirshah. The movie is scripted by Sajeev Pazhoor, who is also scripting the upcoming Fahadh Faasil starrer Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum.

Reportedly, Dileep will be undergoing a physical makeover for his movie with Nadirshah. He will be putting on some weight as his character in the movie demands a totally different look.

This is not the first time Dileep will be undergoing such a makeover. His first hand at an extreme makeover was when he played the role of an hunchback in Kunjikoonan, released in 2002. Three years later in 2005, he portrayed the role of an effeminate man in Lal Jose’s Chanthupottu. He went on to win a Special Jury Award at the Kerala State Film Awards for his performance in the movie. He has also played the role of a woman in the comic caper Mayamohini.

His movie with Nadirshah is expected to go on floors by the end of this year, once the actor completes all his prior commitments. Dileep currently has two movies waiting in the pipeline – Kammarasambhavam and the 3D fantasy movie Professor Dinkan.

Kammarasambhavam is directed by renowned ad filmmaker Ratheesh Ambat and written by Murali Gopy. Dileep will be seen in multiple looks and is also sharing screen space along with South Indian actor Sidharth in this movie. Professor Dinkan is a 3D fantasy movie, directed by cinematographer turned filmmaker Ramachandra Babu.

His next release will be Ramaleela z a political thriller written by Sachi and directed by debutant Arun Gopy. It is produced by Tomichan Mulakupadam, his next after the historic success of Pulimurugan.

Can Dangal beat Baahubali 2 and emerge as the highest grossing Indian movie ever?

Can Dangal beat Baahubali 2 and emerge as the highest grossing Indian movie ever?

It’s a great season for Indian cinema. We are witnessing a rare phenomenon where two Indian movie are making all the news overseas. Yes, we are talking about Dangal and Baahubali 2. While Dangal is minting big bucks at the Chinese box, Baahubali 2 is unstoppable in all the centres.

Dangal was released recently in China as Shuai Jiao Baba or Let’s Wrestle Father in Chinese. The Aamir Khan starrer has already grossed around Rs 700 crores from the Chinese box office alone within three weeks of it’s release. The movie has entered the 1500 crore club and became the second Indian movie ever to do so.

Dangal is expected to surpass Baahubali 2’s worldwide gross collections soon as Baahubali’s theatrical run is slowing down in most areas. According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, the worldwide collections of SS Rajamouli’s movie stand at Rs 1,538 crore till Saturday and India collections stand at Rs 973 crore net.

He tweeted,

“#Baahubali2 ‘s 23 Days WW BO:#India:

Nett : Rs 973 Cr

Gross : Rs 1,256 Cr

Overseas:

Gross : Rs 282 Cr

Total: Rs 1,538 Crs”

However, it must be noted that Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has not yet released in China. Eventhough the first part- Baahubali: The Beginning was not successful there, the makers are very optimistic this time around.

Producer Shobhu Yarlagadda has made it clear on several occasions that he intends to release the film with a proper strategy this time in China, Japan, Taiwan, Latin American countries, among others. Both the parts of Baahubali were released screened at the Cannes Film Festival. It is a well planned marketing strategy to popularize the movie even before its release in other countries.

The big question still remains, how long will Dangal go in China? Can it topple the Prabhas starrer to emerge as the highest grossing Indian movie ever. Let’s wait and see.
