Anyone who buys a ticket out of his hard earned money has the right to comment on a movie: Prithviraj

In the current scenario, social medias play a major role in defining the success of a movie. Several movies in the past have turned into hits solely because of social media promotions. Similarly there are also movies that have faced the wrath of social medias and ended up as disasters.

Celebrities and industry insiders have often criticized the online reviewers for pointing out flaws in a movie without any technical knowledge or without any prior experience in film making.

Recently, Prithviraj in an interview was asked about his opinion about online reviewers, Prithviraj said, “Anyone who buys a ticket paying his hard earned money has the right to comment on the movie. Just like a professional reviewer or a media person, any other normal viewer has the same right to express his opinions about the movie.”

This statement from Prithviraj shows how well he respects the audience and their opinions. As he says during the interview, Malayali audience have a wide knowledge about cinema and the various aspects in filmmaking. So the makers today have more pressure on them to deliver their proudct before such a highly critical society. But in the long run, it is only beneficial for the industry as only good movies will taste success and that too irrespective of the label of any popular director or production house.

The actor’s latest release Ezra hit screens all over Kerala yesterday. Directed by debutant Jay K, Ezra is a horror thriller, an one of a kind attempt in Mollywood. It has got a great opening in the box office thanks to the largely positive word of mouth in social medias. Prithviraj and the Ezra team are using social media platforms to good use for their movie’s promotions.

What should we call people who are spreading the suspense part in Ezra : Tovino Thomas

Prithviraj’s new movie Ezra, released yesterday is getting great response from the audience. Almost all the shows have already been booked houseful for this weekend.

While the movie is doing good business and earning great word of mouth, a section of audience who have already watched the movie are finding weird pleasure in revealing the plot and the suspense part in the movie through Facebook posts and Whatsapp forwards.

Tovino Thomas who has essayed a pivotal character in the movie has lashed out those who people who are revealing the suspense and spoiling the movie watching experience to others. Earlier Prithviraj also addressed the issue.

It is quite a shameless act from these people to reveal a movie’s suspense, especially when it’s a horror thriller.

Ezra, directed by Jay K is the first attempt in quality horror flicks in Malayalam rather than the usual horror comedies that the audience get to see in Mollywood. The movie is set in two timelines. It is in fact the first Indian movie with a horror theme, set in a Jewish backdrop.

The movie marks the debut Malayalam movie of popular South Indian actress Priya Anand. Debutante Ann Sheetal, Sudev Nair, Babu Antony, Vijayaraghavan, Prathap Pothen, Bharath Dabholkar and Alencier Ley Lopez are also part of the cast.

Sujith Vaassudev has cranked the camera for the movie while Vivek Harshan is in charge of the cuts. Music department is handled by Rahul Raj and Sushin Shyam. Mukesh R. Mehta, C. V. Sarathy and A. V. Anoop have produced the film under the banner E4 Entertainment and AVA Productions.

I don’t have any arrogance; your love is my pride: Mammootty

Mammootty is one actor who has constantly been criticised for his so called arrogant attitude. There is a general perception about Mammootty being an arrogant person. Several of his co-stars and directors have admitted that, Mammootty is someone who always speaks his mind and is not one who minces his words about something he feels wrong.

Once while addressing a gathering, Mammootty himself talked about the general perception among the public about his arrogance.

He said, “I don’t feel I have any arrogance, even if I have some it is only because of your love. Director Siddique who has worked in Bollywood movies with top stars have said something about my arrogance to one of my friends Johnny Lukose.”

“Siddique has worked in many industries including Bollywood with many top stars. He feels that while these stars pretend to be humble, I am pretending to be arrogant. My arrogance is like a preventive measure to protect myself from others. In reality, my arrogance is your love. If so many people are clapping and cheering for me, how can I not be arrogant.”

Recently, during an interaction section with fans in Sharjah, someone asked Mammootty about why he is not being social like Mohanlal and about his arrogant attitude.

After hearing the question Mammootty replied with a tongue in cheek question “who should change that conception, me or the public?”

Mammootty has several times made his part clear about such allegations. He has always maintained that he is an actor only on screen. He finds it very difficult to greet and smile at a person, even if it’s a fan, whom he is meeting for the first time.

Tovino Thomas’ reply to a fan who compared him with Mohanlal

Tovino Thomas debuted in 2013 through Dulquer Salmaan’s ABCD in a villainous role. After four years, Tovino is now one of the most promising new gen stars in the industry. The actor belongs to a non filmy background, a trait that sets him apart from most of his contemporaries.

Currently, he is enjoying all this stardom and popularity only because of his hardwork and dedication to the craft. From the grey shaded politician, Akhilesh Varma to Eby Ebineser in 7th Day to Perumpparambil Appu in Ennu Ninte Moideen to the recent Thejus Varkey in Guppy, Tovino has made rapid strides from just another actor to a dependable star who has the charisma to carry a movie entirely on his shoulders.

Recently, a fan compared Tovino with superstar Mohanlal who also started his career as an antagonist. The actor replied, “Comparing me with Lalettan makes me feel as if I have won two State Awards. But not only me, no one else can become like Lalettan. He is a legend.”

Tovino was last seen in a brief character in Prithviraj’s latest release Ezra. He has played the role of Shafeer Ahammed, a cop in the movie. Though the character has limited screen time, Tovino has given a laudable performance winning appreciation from critics as well as the audience.

This year, the actor has two other much anticipated movies in his kitty, Oru Mexican Aparatha and Godha. While he will be seen as a student activist in the former, he is playing a wrestler in Basil Joseph’s Godha.

What happened at the University College was a Sanghi model attack : Aashiq Abu

The State has of late been witnessing a lot of issues related to moral policing. Latest incident is the one at Thiruvananthapuram University College, where two girl students and their friend were allegedly beaten up by SFI activists for sitting together while watching a play.

The complaint lodged by Asmitha Kabeer, Soorya Gayathri and their friend T S Jijesh of Thrissur said they were assaulted by SFI activists. According to them, the the incident happened inside the campus right before the college’s Vice Principal.

Offended by the latest incident, filmmaker and self proclaimed left activist, Aashiq Abu has said that what happened was a Sanghi model attack. The post in his official Facebook account reads,

“It has become very habitual in colleges to stigmatize students from outside, who visit their colleges, as enemies and immoral. The incident that occurred recently in Thiruvananthapuram University College was a ‘sanghi model’ attack. Those behind this attack, even if it’s a low level SFI member, should not be allowed to hold the party’s flag in the future. Police officials should take actions against them bravely.”

The police have registered a case on Thursday evening after receiving the complaint from the girls against 10 student activists of SFI.

Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan’s first photo in 25 years!!

Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan’s first photo in 25 years!!

Social media platforms across the country have gone frenzy with a photo that started surfacing online in the wee hours of Saturday. Two of the nation’s biggest superstars, Aamir Kahan and Shah Rukh Khan partied yesterday in Dubai for entrepreneur Ajay Bijli’s 50th birthday bash.

First a formal picture with Shah Rukh, Amir and the birthday boy was seen online but what followed was a sensational selfie that Shah Rukh shared on his Twitter account. His tweet reads,

“Known each other for 25 years and this is the first picture we have taken together of ourselves. Was a fun night.”

Both the actors, clad in white shirts, are seen happily posing for a selfie, one that has volumes to speak about their past and present. There have always been rumours about a cold war between the three Khans- Aamir, Shah Rukh and Salman.

Shah Rukh and Salman hit it off for Salman’s sister Arpita Khan’s wedding in 2014. After that, the two have become so close that SRK is even doing a cameo in Salman’s upcoming movie Tubelight.

Now, it looks like it’s the turn of SRK and Aamir to patch up. Recently, during a Twitter chat with his fans, SRK was asked how he liked Aamir Khan’s Dangal, to which he replied, “Have been busy with work so haven’t seen it yet. Have promised Aamir will see it soon on a free day. It’s awesome like we all know.”

Both the actors are currently basking in the success of their latest releases Raees and Dangal. While Dangal has turned into the biggest ever blockbuster in Bollywood, Raees is also doing good business, recently crossing the 100 crore mark.

Aamir’s wild beard in the photo is said to be his new look for his upcoming movie Thugs of Hindostan.

Why do people want to reveal the suspense in Ezra, asks Prithviraj

Prithviraj Sukumaran’s latest release, Ezra hit screens in Kerala yesterday. The movie directed by debutant Jay K, belongs to the horror thriller genre.

Ezra is a one of a kind horror thriller in Malayalam. It is poles apart from the usual horror comedies that Malayali audience are used to seeing Though Ezra is not a real spine chilling horror movie, the plot setting and treatment is a novel attempt in Mollywood. It is in fact the first Indian movie to deal with a story about the Jew settlements in Kerala in a horror backdrop.

The movie has been getting good response from the audience and critics. However, a section of the social media users are finding weird pleasure in revealing the plot and suspense of the movie through Facebook posts and Whatsapp forwards.

Prithviraj himself has discoursed on this issue through a post in his official Facebook page.

“A big thank you and a humble request! There are numerous forwards floating around FB, WhatsApp and other platforms revealing the plot and the suspense of #EZRA . I fail to understand the motivation behind this want to spoil the experience for people yet to watch the movie. As an actor proud to have taken a step to try something truly different in Malayalam, I would be greatly obliged if this is stopped and discouraged. And THANK YOU..for presenting EZRA with one among the biggest ever openings for a film in Kerala and for all the support and appreciation. Cheers!”

We, as part of the audience also request those people who are involved in such unworthy deeds to please stop it and not spoil others movie watching experience. Please don’t encourage this through any medium.

They have also accused him of producing a fake birth certificate before the Madras High Court bench.

The couple has claimed that Dhanush was their third son and also sought maintenance of Rs 65,000 per month from the actor.

In his petition, Dhanush has said that he was born to Krishnamoorthy, now Kasthuri Raja, and Vijayalakshmi as Venkatesh Prabhu. He also clarified that he was born on July 28, 1983, at the Government Children’s Hospital in Egmore. A gazette notification issued to change his name as K Dhanush was also produced in the court.

The couple have submitted their certificates claiming that Dhanush was born at Government Rajaji hospital on November 7, 1985 and his name was Kalaichelvan. They claim that he had studied in Madurai district till 10th grade. He was later admitted to a private school in Sivaganga district, from where he ran away to Chennai.
