Can Villain make up for the massive failure of 1971 Beyond Borders?

Can Villain make up for the massive failure of 1971 Beyond Borders?

Mohanlal was going through a golden run with a hat-trick of massive blockbusters till the release of 1971 Beyond Borders. The movie, directed by Major Ravi was a disappointing affair at the box office.

Critics also turned the movie for it’s poor direction and age old screenplay. The movie, released during the Vishu season, had to compete with several other biggies like The Great Father, Puthan Panam, Sakhavu and even Take Off.

Unlike Mohanlal’s last few movies, the makers of 1971 Beyond Borders did not invest much on the promotional side and hence the hype was also very minimal. All this backfired and the movie is already being held over in many theatres across the State.

However, Mohanlal fans still have reasons to rejoice as his next release Villain is shaping up well. The movie’s official teaser was released recently and has skyrocketed the expectations. This B Unnikrishnan directorial is highly anticipated as it features some big names both in the cast and crew department.

Villain stars Mohanlal in the role of Mathew Manjooran, an ex-cop. Popular Tamil star Vishal, Manju Warrier, Raashi Khanna, Telugu actor Srikanth and Hansika Motwani are also part of the cast. Manoj Paramahamsa is wielding the camera and it is also the first Malayalam movie to be shot completely in 8K resolution. Rockline Venkatesh is funding this big budget movie.

We will have to wait and watch whether Villain will be able to make up for the collosal disappointment of 1971 Beyond Borders.

“Please don’t compare me with Mohanlal sir”: Prabhas

Prabhas is now one of the most popular actors in the country thanks to the gargantuan success of Baahubali. He dedicated five solid years of his life to breathe life into SS Rajamouli’s vision. Prabhas developed a warrior’s physique and underwent training in sword fights and horse riding to play the titular role.

Prabhas is so supremely fit and majestic that his is the first image that flashes when one thinks of a period- historic movie. Recently, it was announced that Malayalam superstar Mohanlal would be playing the lead role of Bheemasenan in the upcoming multilingual movie The Mahabarata.

It is said to be the most expensive Indian movie ever and is being planned to be made on a whopping Rs 1000 crores. Immediately after the project was announced officially there were talks whether Mohanlal could portray the role of a warrior. Controversy’s favourite kid Kamal Rashid Khan aka KRK further added fuel to the discussions by tweeting that Prabhas should be the only actor who could portray that role.

Prabhas, who was in Kerala recently for the promotions of Baahubali 2, was asked about his opinion on the comparisons being made between him and Mohanlal. The actor said that it is unacceptable to compare him with someone like Mohanlal. He added that Mohanlal is one of the country’s best actors who commands huge respect. Prabhas reiterated that he should never be compared to an actor of Mohanlal’s stature.

Meanwhile, the second installment in the Baahuabli series, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion has hit screens worldwide today. The movie has been getting extraordinary reports from all the release centres. Trade experts believe that the movie will most probably break all pre-existing records in the Indian box office.
