What’s the current status of Rajinikanth-Pa Ranjith movie?

It’s well known that superstar Rajinikanth’s next after Shankar’s sci-fi thriller 2.0, will be with Pa Ranjith. The two last year teamed up for the gangster drama Kabali.

Though Kabali could not live up to the expectations of the superstar’s hardcore fans, it was acclaimed for his performance. Kabali was not the usual mass masala movie, it was a more intense drama that had the best acting moments of Rajinikanth in recent memory.

Impressed by the three film old Pa Ranjith’s conviction and his knowledge over the craft, Rajinikanth signed another project with him. The superstar’s son-in-law and actor Dhanush will be producing this movie under his banner Wunderbar Films.

Currently, the pre production works for the movie are going on in full swing. Pa Ranjith is developing the screenplay while simultaneously scouting for locations. The team are planning to shoot the movie in location like Chennai and Mumbai. The movie is expected to go on floors in May this year.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is currently shooting for the final schedule of 2.0. Shoot is progressing at brisk pace in Chennai. It is the sequel to his mega blockbuster movie Enthiran released back in 2010.

Lyca Productions is funding this sci-fi thriller which is being made on a whopping 450 crores. This is by far the most expensive Indian movie, which is currently under production.

Apart from Rajinikanth, 2.0 also stars Bollywood superstar Akhsay Kumar and Amy Jackson in major roles. Akshay Kumar will be seen as the antagonist in the movie. Sudhanshu Pandey, Malayali actor Kalabhavan Shajon, Adil Hussain and Riyaz Khan are also part of the cast. The movie is scheduled to hit screens for Diwali this year.

Recently, reports were doing the rounds in social medias about superstars Mohanlal, Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan starring in SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus Mahabharata.

However, sources close to the director have dismissed all the reports. The director in a recent interview has said that the movie can only be made in a span of five to six years. If big stars come on board, they would have to move aside their dates for 5 to 6 years without any other engagement.
He also added that he will have to create new stars for the film, like how they did in the popular English TV show Game of Thrones.

Speculations about the superstars involvement in the project triggered after Aamir Khan expressed his desire to play the role of Krishna if Rajamouli is planning to make Baahubali. He said this recently when he was in Hyderabad for the promotions of Dangal. Also there were specualtions about Rajamouli planning a movie with Mohanlal. A self confessed Mohanlal fan, the director had earlier mentioned that he would love to make a movie with Mohanlal.

Script works for the movie will begin soon and it is expected to go on floors in 2018. The movie is being planned on a bigger scale than Baahuabli.

The director meanwhile is busy with the post-production work of the second part in the Baahubali series, Baahubali The Conclusion. The magnum opus is scheduled to hit screens on April 28.

Mammootty is the best when it comes to dubbing: Siddique

Malayalis have been seeing Mammootty’s exceptional acting skills for over three decades now. The actor par excellence has given some remarkable performance that will remain etched in the memories forever.

Unlike Mohanlal, who could excel in almost every department of acting, Mammootty’s forte was his impeccable skills in dialogue delivery be it the emotional scenes or the punch dialogues.

Remember how his voice trembled in the final speech in Katha Parayumpol. That 15 odd minutes is a classic example of Mammootty’s skills in dialogue delivery. He had to stand before a mike and emote over his long lost friend. Mammootty gave such a stunning performance that superstars like Rajinikanth and Shah Rukh Khan and could not even close to in the remake versions of the movie.

Not only the emotional scenes. His top notch dialogue delivery in Rajamanikyam was truly a revelation. He aced the local Trivandrum dialect like no other actor has ever done.

When it comes to delivering dialogues in different lingo, Mammootty is undoubtedly the go to choice. Be it the terrific Kottayam slang in Kottayam Kunjachan, the Thrissur slang in Pranchiyettan and the Saint, the Kozhikode slang in Palerimanickyam Oru Pathira Kolapathakathinte Katha, Valluvandan slang in Valsalyam and many other dialects in movies like Vidheyan, Amaram, Bus Conductor, Loud Speaker etc.

Recently, director Siddique in an interview shared about how Mammootty’s voice influenced him. Siddique feels that Mammootty is the best when it comes to dubbing.

“All other actors concentrate only on the acting part and are not so concerned about dubbing. But Mammootty is someone who gives his 100 percent in front of the camera and 110 percent while dubbing.”

Mammootty and Siddique have previously worked together in movies like Hitler and Chronic Bachelor. Their last outing, Bhaskar The Rascal released in 2015, was also a blockbuster success.

Mohanlal didn’t even touch a tiger in Pulimurugan : G Sudhakaran

One of the most controversial faces in Kerala politics, Minister G Sudhakaran is at the centre of one again. Recently, the Minister has said that Mohanlal did not even touch a tiger while shooting for Pulimurugan.

He made the statement recently while addressing at the 50 years anniversary celebration of the classic movie Chemmeen. G Sudhakaran said, he is very sure that Mohanlal didn’t touch the tiger in Pulimurugan.

He added, “Nowadays, quality of movies are judged based on the production values. Movies should be more relatable to day to day life. More than the number of movies released, quality should be the priority.”

Pulimurugan is a story about a wild hunter who is known in the locality to put an end to man eating tigers. Mohanlal played the title character of the hunter. The team choreographed the action sequences with tigers under the supervision of Peter Hein in Vietnam.

Pulimurugan team had to face such remarks before also. Location stills from the movie, where Mohanlal was seen fighting with a dummy tiger was used to troll the movie in social medias. Director Vysakh later had to release a statement to clear airs about the allegations. The dummy tigers made with the actual weight and shape of the real tigers were used to get an idea about the length and camera angle before the actual shoot begins.

There were similar allegations about Mohanlal using dupes for the stunt sequences. Later the team proved the naysayers wrong releasing the making video of Mohanlal performing the stunts. He also performed the stunts live on stage, recently during an award night.

Aravind Swamy and Naga Chaitanya to star in Dhuruvangal 16 fame Karthick Naren’s next; Who from Mollywood?

We had recently told you that Karthick Naren who impressed one and all with his debut film Dhuruvangal 16, is planning to start his new movie. The movie titled as Naragasooran will be a multistarrer with three leading stars from Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

Aravind Swamy was the first to hop on to the project. The movie will be an action filled gangster drama. It will be completely different from the director’s first film and will have ample scope for performance for each character.

Now we hear that popular Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya has committed for the project. The actor will have a full fledged role but will not be the only main character in the film as the story, since it’s a multistarrer. This movie will also mark the debut of Naga Chaitanya in the Tamil film industry.

The wait now is to see who Karthick will rope in from Mollywood to play the other major character. Currently, Mollywood has an abundance of many promising young stars. It will be exciting to see a Mollywood actor rubbing shoulders with a star like Aravind Swamy that too in a much anticipated movie.

We hear that there are also plans to film the movie as a multilingual considering the popularity of stars from other industries also.
Things have almost been finalised but the makers are waiting for a confirmation from the production house to make things official.

Meanwhile, Dhuruvangal 16 has crossed the 50 days theatrical run in Tamil Nadu. It is indeed a big achievement because nowadays even star vehicles find it tough to cross the first two weeks. Telugu dubbed version of the movie titled as 16 is gearing up for release.

Vimaanam is a film that I really love: Prithviraj

We had recently reported that Prithviraj’s upcoming movie Vimaanam directed by newcomer Pradeep M Nair has finally started rolling. The actor is playing the role of a deaf and mute person who builds a light weight aircraft on his own.

The movie was in the news after it’s makers filed a case against Vineeth Sreenivasan’s Aby as both the movies deal with similar stories. The case was recently judged in favour of Aby’s team.

However, Prithviraj is unfazed by all that. He is not bothered about the legal issues that’s happening surrounding the movie. The actor in a recent interview said that he really loves the movie and is not.

He said that he will go ahead with the movie as long as all the people associated with Vimaanam has complete conviction in the film regardless of another film being made on a similar premise.

Vimaanam is inspired from the real life of Saji Thomas, a hearing and speech impaired person, who built a light weight aircraft on his own. But the movie is not a biography on Saji Thomas’ life. It will have an endearing romantic track also.

The movie will have two time periods with Prithviraj appearing in two different looks. He will be shedding a few kilos along with taking flying courses to play his part in the movie.

Vimaanam is being planned on a big canvas involving a lot of VFX works for the flying scenes. Listin Stephen is producing the movie.

Nedumudi Venu, Sudheer Karamana, Shanthi Krishna and many other prominent supporting actors are also part of the cast.

Shoot will majorly happen in Batkal in Mangalore. Ernakulam and Delhi are the other locations
