Dulquer Salmaan about Pranav Mohanlal’s entry to movies

Malayalis all over the world are waiting to see Pranav Mohanlal on screen this year. The celebrated star kid has signed for his debut as a male lead for director Jeethu Joseph’s upcoming action thriller. Mohanlal himself announced the news last year.

My best wishes for Pranav. Everyone can bring some contributions of their own to the industry. Like others, I am also eagerly waiting to watch his movie.

Dulquer added that they both meet only rarely. Pranav Mohanlal is currently undergoing training in Parkour, a kind of training in jumping, swift running and climbing high rise walls as his character in Jeethu Joseph’s upcoming movie demanded it.

The director had earlier informed that the movie will be an action thriller on the lines of his superhit movie Memories. Antony Perumbavoor is producing this movie under Mohanlal’s home production house Aashiravad Cinemas. This yet-to-be-titled movie will go on floors this year.

This is Pranav’s second entry to movies. He has earlier acted in a movie titled Punarjani directed by Major Ravi. He won the State award for the best child actor for his performance in the movie. He was away from the limelight after that before returning back to assist Jeethu Joseph in two movies, Dileep’s Life of Josutty and Kamal Haasan’s Papanasam.

Controversy’s favourite kid Ram Gopal Varma is in the news once again, but this time for no fault of his. RGV is someone known for not mincing his words. Most of his tweets have faced the ire of the twiterattis. In the past, he has taken a dig at many leading superstars including Rajinikanth, Mammootty, Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan etc.

Lavishing praise on Mohanlal, he mentioned that other stars should stop doing the routine acts and follow Mohanlal. The tweets read,

What some stars could not achieve in Tollywood, MohanLal Garu did that with just 3 movies. #Kanupapa is a brilliant movie, must watch.

Atlas after watching #Kanupapa all the big Stars & Directors should stop doing same old routine formula movies. My Sincere to MohanLal

These tweets were trending virally
in social medias and was even used for promoting the movie.But the reality is that these tweets were not from RGV but from his parody account. The director himself cleared airs about these tweets. His original twitter account was RGVzoomined while his parody was RGVzoomin. Interestingly, the veteran filmmaker had praised the original version, Oppam, during it’s trailer release

Kanupapa was released on February 3 to good response from the Telugu audience.

I didn’t ask Mohanlal to move to Pakistan; he is my favourite actor : M Swaraj

Superstar Mohanlal’s blog supporting the demonetisation move by the central government earned him lot of flak from people belonging to many walks of the society. MLA M Swaraj criticised Mohanlal for his blog and called it a foolish act from his part to support demonetisation.

Swaraj recently in a media interaction said that his criticism against Mohanlal was on healthy grounds. He said, “I didn’t ask Mohanlal to move to Pakistan or ask him to stop acting. I respect his opinion but I pointed out that his stand was wrong and foolish. Malayali viewers have enjoyed his comdey and foolishness on screen but when it happens off screen, it is a very serious issue. I criticised Mohanlal’s stand and like that he has the right to reply back.

Mohanlal was criticised severely for making some controversial remarks in his blog. The actor had compared people standing in queues in liquor shops, theatres and in religious centres to those who are sweating it out at the long queues for withdrawing their money from banks and ATMs. Politicians like VD Satheesan and MM Mani also criticised Mohanlal for his stand in the issue without understanding the hardships faced by the common men of the country.

Both Dileep and Nadirshah are known for their impeccable comic timing and so their upcoming movie promises to be a rollicking entertainer.

The actor will be seen in multiple looks for the movie which also marks the Malayalam debut of popular actor Sidharth.

My friends used to make fun of me saying my dance looks like boxing: Dulquer Salmaan

Unlike other Indian industries, Mollywood does not give much prominence to dance sequences. This is mainly because our movies are mostly realistic and have very less dream sequences. Songs are narrated through the plot. So most leading actors in the current generation except for a few like Prithviraj and Indrajith, are not so great with their dancing skills.

The industry’s hot favourite Dulquer Salmaan is another good dancer who has proved his skills even in the limited opportunities. Recently his performance in the song Nokki Nokki from Jomonte Suvisheshangal, was widely discussed in social medias.

Dulquer brings a flamboyance and cool attitude to his dancing. The actor recently shared about his dancing and more. “I have faced a lot of embarrassment for my dancing skills. My friends used to mock me saying that my dancing is like boxing. But I didn’t heed to all that. I just danced like I wished. When we were in Chennai, I was amused by the skills of some of the kids there. Those days, I used to for English songs, without remembering the name of the album or the artists.

Dulquer stormed to the dance scene in 2012 with the promotional song for his superhit movie Usthad Hotel. He essayed some groovy steps that won over the audience. Later his lively dance performance in movies like Bangalore Days, Pattam Pole and ABCD was also widely appreciated.

Mohanlal and Amitabh Bachchan to team up Odiyan ?

Mohanlal and Amitabh Bachchan to team up Odiyan ?

Mohanlal is currently going through a golden phase delivering back to back massive successes. His last three release Janatha Garage (Telugu), Oppam and Pulimurugan earned huge revenue. His latest release, Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is also doing great business in the box office and is expected to continue the terrific run in the coming days.

Apart from that the actor has committed for a slew of big budget projects. According to latest reports, the actor will be seen in an upcoming movie titled as Odiyan, directed by ad filmmaker Sreekumar. Myth has it that Odiyan is named after a man who is mastered in odividya, a black magic trick to tackle the enemies. The film is written by Harikrishnan.

An exciting information about this movie is that Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan will be sharing screen space with Mohanlal. Amitabh Bachchan and Mohanlal has earlier acted together in Ram Gopal Varma’s Aag and Kandahar, through which Bachchan made his debut in Mollywood.

It will be mouthwatering to see Mohanlal and Amitabh Bachchan together on screen once again. The 4 time National award winner, Bachchan has of late been committing only for movies with plum roles that has scope for performance.

If the two actors join together, it will be a big booster for the business prospects of the movie. The two are also reported to act together in MT Vasudevan Nair’s epic multi crore movie Randamoozham.

Apart from Mohanlal and Amitabh Bachchan, Odiyon is also said to feature Prakash Raj and Manju Warrier in pivotal characters. It has also been reported that movie will be made in 3D format in Malayalam.

However, when Times of India contacted the director he said, “The film is in a very premature stage. It is just a thought I had and I have no clue who is spreading all these. If anything progresses, I would definitely tell you.

If this project materializes it will be exciting to watch all these stars together on screen.
