KRK feared Malayalis and resulted in apologizing

The top news that had hit social media today was Bollywood star KRK aka Kamaal Rashid Khan apologizing to Mohanlal through his Twitter handle. The star had targeted the complete actor from the next day he had announced his biggie The Mahabharata. The first tweet made was insulting Mohanlal by comparing him to the cartoon character Chotta Bheem on basis of his size, and questioning him why to waste producer BR Shetty’s money.

The later tweets came in quick succession, 25 in total. Through his tweets he had insulted Mohanlal, called his fans idiots, compared Mohanlal to other actors, held online polls, boasted his Twitter followers number, wished to play Sreekrishna in the biggie, suggested the cast for the movie, claimed that Mahabharata​ was not going to happen by stating BR Shetty had not confirmed to fund the movie and in the end apologized.

The star in his apology tweet had asked Mohanlal to forgive him for comparing the complete actor to Chotta Bheem and admitted that he never knew Mohanlal was such a versatile actor and the superstar of Malayalam films. His tweet read: “Sir @Mohanlal sorry to call you #ChotaBheem Coz I didn’t know much about you. But now I know that you are a super star of Malayalam films

The star, though lately, had done such an​ apology only because of the loads of comments, retweets and messages he had received daily that were completely against him. He had also complained to Mohanlal on a tweet of his that why the fans are abusing him so much. The fans had done a brilliant job behind this nevermind their fanbase. All the Malayalis had offered the perfect online ‘pongala’ on the star’s social handles. The star who had earlier tweeted some what the same thing against PM Narendra Modi, Amitabh Bachchan, Rajnikanth and Shah Rukh Khan had coolly walked away without been questioned. But this time, Malayalis had given him a real bad time and he had paid for it. As Santhosh Pandit and Suraj Venjaramoodu rightly said “You have played against the lion and it’s cubs; Never expect your family to receive your remains and ashes

The Mallu Cyber Soldiers (MCS) had took full control of his Adsense account which manages the financial income of his YouTube videos. They had hacked and freezed his accounts until he stops abusing and apologizes. This had really shocked and surprised him. And it is quite sure that he will never ever again in his entire life target Malayalis or Malayalam personalities using any social media platform!

Kerala Box Office : Sakhavu Collection Report 6 Days

After a long one year gap Nivin Pauly had hit theaters a week ago with his political drama Sakhavu. His last film Jacobinte Swargarajyam was a complete family feel good drama, he has opted out for a complete change of genre this time. The movie directed by National Award winning director Siddharth Shiva had received an amazing initial response.

As the movie enters it’s first week we got a clear collection report. The movie has collected Rs. 7.55 crores for it’s 6 day run at Kerala box office. This could not be termed as an excellent collection report but only decent. The movie had gained an initial collection of Rs. 2.75 crores from the theaters released all over the state.

The movie marks a disappointing collection in Nivin’s career as his previous releases were blockbusters. Though Action Hero Biju had a slow paced collection in it’s initial days, it was compensated in the following weeks. Sakhavu being a party based movie could have not succeeded in taking family audience in hand. Sakhavu is made on a strong storyline and an interesting script and therefore is believed to improve it’s gross in the coming days.

The movie is funded by B Rakesh under the banner Universal Cinemas. Aishwarya Rajesh, Aparna Gopinath and Gayathri Suresh play the lead females in the flick. The Prasanth Pillai musical also stars Baiju, Sreenivasan, Binu Pappu, Althaf, Renji Panicker, Sudheesh, Santhosh Keezhatoor, etc. in pivotal roles.

“National Award glitters less as Mohanlal receives it” says Pannyan Raveendran

Mohanlal had earlier received the special Performance category Award at the National awards for movies Janatha Garage, Pulimurugan and Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol. The Award had led to a lot of controversies stating that the Award was given by the jury member Priyadarshan to Mohanlal on the basis of friendship.

CPI leader Pannyan Raveendran has now come up with the statement that the National Award has now glittered a less as Mohanlal had received it. The politician who also has a taste for movies said:

I am completely clueless in understanding the motive behind giving the National Award to the complete actor Mohanlal. I believe that it is only because to please some. Maybe because of Pulimurugan, there is no other option than giving an award for it. The National Awards these days are being used only to please some and that is not fair

He had also praised Surabhi Lakshmi for bagging the Best Actress award and said that it was well deserved. He had earlier many times praised the dedication Mohanlal had put in for Pulimurugan.
