Recently, social medias were flooded with reports about renowned stunt choreographer Peter Hein’s debut directorial with Mohanlal in the lead. Reportedly, the superstar was mighty impressed with Peter Hein’s script and has committed himself for the project.

Speculations are rife that this movie will be an action packed visual spectacle that will be made on a huge scale. Peter Hein is in talks with several leading technicians from India for this movie. He shares a very close relationship with Mohanlal and is hence trying to give his best for the movie.

Mohanlal and Peter Hein last year worked together in the all time blockbuster Pulimurugan. The movie won Peter Hein a National award for best action choreography. Incidentally, he is also the first recipient of the award after the Indian government initiated it to honour stunt choreographers.

Peter Hein is also working in Mohanlal’s upcoming movie Villain, directed by B Unnikrishnan. Villain is a crime thriller in which Mohanlal is playing the role of a retired police man.

A sequel for Pokkiri’s Hindi version Wanted is on the cards

Salman Khan was going through a lean period before 2009, when Prabhudeva roped him to play the lead in Wanted, the official remake of Mahesh Babu’s Pokiri. Prabhudeva also remade this movie in Tamil as Pokkiri with Vijay as the lead. Both the movies were huge blockbusters, with the Salman Khan starrer triggering a new trend of mass masala films in Bollywood.

Wanted was caught up in a legal tussle after the makers Boney Kapoor, Sridevi, Prabhu Deva, and Salman Khan were booked in a case of alleged copyright infringement and plagiarism. A noted Hindi filmmaker Birbal Singh Rana alleged that Wanted was a copy of one of his scripts.

Finally, after seven long years, the court has given it’s final verdict in the case. The judgement was in favour of the team of Wanted and acquitted them from all charges. After the acquittal, while talking to a North Indian media, Boney Kapoor was asked about the possibility of a sequel to Wanted. The veteran told that he would do it if he comes across a suitable script and Salman Khan agrees to do it. It would be great if the superstar hops on board for Wanted 2 as his fans will get to see his charisma as a police officer once again after the Dabaang series.

Salman Khan, of late has been very selective with his scripts. His next release Tubelight is one of the most awaited movies of the year. The movie, directed by Kabir Khan also stars Shah Rukh Khan in a cameo role. It is an historical war drama set in the 1962 Indo-China war period and is scheduled to hit screens for this year’s Eid.

Salman has also committed for Tiger Zinda Hai, the sequel to his blockbuster spy thriller Ek Tha Tiger. The movie will be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and stars Katrina Kaif as the female lead.

Salim Ahamed-Dulquer Salmaan movie And The Oscar Goes To will start rolling this year

Renowned filmmaker Salim Ahamed recently announced his next movie’s title as And The Oscar Goes To. The director took everyone by surprise by announcing the title on the very day the 89th Academy Awards were given away.

Eventhough the director has not yet revealed the lead actor or other details regarding his next movie, our sources close to the director inform us that Dulquer Salmaan will be playing the lead in this movie.
Salim Ahamed had earlier informed that his next movie will be about cinema. And with the title, we presume that it’s the story of someone trying hard to make it to the world of cinema. The movie will go on floors by the end of this year after Dulquer finishes his prior commitments.

Salim Ahmed is known for extracting the best out of his actors. His debut movie, Adaminte Makan Abu had Salim Kumar in the lead role and he went on to win the National Award that year. It was also chosen as India’s official entry for the best foreign film category in the 84th Academy Awards.

Salim Ahamed’s other two movies had Mammootty in the lead. Both Kunjananthante Kada and Pathemari, found appreciation from the critics. Pathemari won the national award for best feature film in Malayalam in the year 2015.

It will be interesting to see how Dulquer adapts himself to a Salim Ahamed movie. The actor currently has a number of projects waiting in the pipeline. He was last seen shooting for Bejoy Nambiar’s bilingual Solo. Lal Jose- Unni R team’s Oru Bhayankara Kamukan, debutant Salam Bukhari’s commercial entertainer and Pulimurugan director Vysakh’s mass entertainer are some of the other movies in his kitty.

Salman Khan’s next release will be Tubelight, directed by Kabir Khan. The movie is releasing amid huge expectations majorly due to the teaming up for Salman with Kabir Khan after the all time blockbuster Bhajrangi Bhaijaan.

Tubelight is an historical war drama set in the 1962 Indo-China war period. An interesting aspect of this movie is that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is playing a came role. The director in a recent media chat revealed the reason behind roping in King Khan for a cameo appearance.

Apparently, a particular scene in the movie demanded a superstar’s presence. When he approached Shah Rukh Khan for the same, he immediately agreed without any hesitation. But the director remained tight lipped about his character in the movie. Fans are eagerly awaiting to watch the two Khans together on big screen after a long gap.

Tubelight will showcase the sufferings of residents at the time of the Indo-China war period. It will also have an endearing romantic track in between. Salman Khan’s brother Sohail Khan is playing a pivotal character in this movie.

As always has been the case for Salman Khan’s films, Tubelight will also be hitting screens during the Eid festival on 23 June.

Mammootty will be seen in contrasting style of tutor roles back-to-back

Despite being a superstar in the industry for over three decades, Mammootty never gets complacent. He is always on the look out for roles that could bring out both the star and the actor in him. The 65 year old veteran is currently busy working on multiple projects.

Interestingly, two of his upcoming movies have him in the role of a tutor. He is playing a college professor in Udhayakrishna- Ajai Vasudev team’s mass thriller and a teacher trainer in 7th Day fame Shyam Dhar’s next.

In Ajai Vasudev’s movie, Mammootty will be seen as an English lecturer. He is sporting a stylish new look for playing his character Edward Livingston. Eddy, as he is popularly known, is an old student of the same college and was a bigger troublemaker in his campus days. What happens when such a strict and tough college professor turns against a group of spoilt students is the core plot of this yet to be titled movie. According to the director, Mammootty’s is a larger than life role and will have him performing some power packed action blocks.

Whereas in Shyam Dhar’s movie, he is playing an entirely contrasting role of an Idukki native who comes to Kochi as a tutor at a teacher training institute. His character’s name in the movie is speculated as Rajakumaran. He is a very jovial person who considers every student of his as a child. The students love his lectures as he is a fabulous story teller who connects everything with an interesting anecdote. It is very rooted character and we can be assured of an entirely different Mammootty in this film.

Mammootty has completed the first schedule of Shyam Dhar’s movie and is currently work on the Ajai Vasudev movie. Not many actors can play two such contrasting roles simultaneously, but for a seasoned actor like Mammootty, it is not really a challenge.
