Sunny Wayne-Srinath Rajendran movie will be an unique experience

We had earlier in the week reported that Srinath Rajendran, a promising director who made his debut through the superhit movie Second Show, will be teaming up with Sunny Wayne for an upcoming movie.

Speaking exclusively to Onlookers Media, Sunny Wayne has said that their new movie will be not be a regular formulaic one. He has assured that the director is incorporating a lot of freshness in the making and that the movie will have an unique style of presentation. The actor has pinned high hopes on this yet-to-be-titled movie.

The two are teaming up together for the third time after Second Show and Koothara. Second Show released in 2012 marked the entry of Dulquer Salmaan and Sunny Wayne to the industry. The movie was both highly appreciated for its theme and presentation. It was also a big commercial success.

Koothara had Sunny Wayne, Kollywood actor Bharath and Tovino Thomas in the lead roles. Superstar Mohanlal played an extended cameo in the movie. Though the film was noted for the bold attempt, it was an underwhelming affair at the box office.

When Sunny Wayne and Srinath Rajendran team up once again, expectations are on the higher side. Sunny Wayne is going through a good phase in his career with his last outing Ann Maria Kalipilanu ending up as an average success at the box office. His performance as as Poombatta Girish earned him appreciation from the audience.

Sunny Wayne’s next release will be Alamara, directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas. Aditi Ravi is playing the female lead in this movie which also features Aju Varghese, Manikandan Achari and Renji Panicker in pivotal characters.

He has also signed for a movie with Jijo Antony titled as Pokkiri Simon Oru Kaduththa Aaraadhakan. He will be playing the role of a hard core Vijay fan in the movie.

The video has been fetched over 8 lakh views in YouTube with over 35,000 likes. Interestingly, The Great Father’s likes count has gone past the life time count of Indian cinema’s one of the biggest blockbusters Baahubali’s motion poster.

In today’s scenario, social media response in platforms like YouTube have considerable impact on the publicity of the movie.

Gopi Sunder once again alleged for copying

Gopi Sunder, one of the leading composers in Malayalam film industry has often been criticised for copying tunes. He has been accused of lifting tunes from Hollywood movies for his background score.

Recently, the motion poster of the Mammootty starrer The Great Father was released. The 55 second video had its background score composed by Gopi Sunder. The score had an uncanny resemblance to the background music tuned by Bijibal for the movie Red Wine.

Responding to the allegations, Gopi Sunder updated a status in his official Facebook page. The post reads,

Every week am committing a new film to do music . My dear critics, can you do something reg it ?

The post has been met with mixed response among the netizens. Some have criticised Gopi for his arrogance, while some others have lauded his confidence.

Last year during the release of Kali’s trailer, the composer was severely trolled for lifting the background score from the English movie The Man from U.N.C.L.E. He even admitted to having been inspired by the background score of the Hollywood movie. Similarly his background score for Bangalore Days, Olanjali Kuruvi song from 1983, Kaal Kuzhanju song from Left Right Left were all accused of plagiarism.

But all these allegations hasn’t stopped the National award winner from signing back to back projects. He is currently the most demanded music director in Malayalam film industry. Of late he has been working in other language movies also.

Georgettan’s Pooram, Role Models, Sathya, The Great Father, Kammarasambhavam, Ramaleela, CIA, Chunkzz and Tiyaan are some of his upcoming movies in Mollywood.

Every mechanical engineer’s college life will have stories for atleast 10 different movies, says Queen Malayalam movie director Dijo Jose Antony

We had earlier reported about a group of engineers teaming up for a movie titled as Queen. The movie revolves around the story of a girl who joins mechanical engineering, a stream which is generally considered as a boys fortress. Newcomers will be playing the lead roles, while some senior actors will also be part of the cast.

Queen is directed by newcomer Dijo Jose Antony, an engineering graduate. The movie is written by Jebin Joseph Antony and Sharis Muhammed, both of whom are mechanical engineering graduates.

Director Dijo Jose Antony, speaks exclusively to Onlookers Media.

“The idea for our movie sparked when we saw photos from the Onam celebrations of mechanical engineering students in Sree Buddha Engineering College, Pattoor. The photo had a girl student leading from the front with around 100 boys behind her. This triggered an idea for our movie. Every mechanical engineer’s college life will have stories for atleast 10 different movies. We have experienced that. After several rounds of discussions we developed a story about a girl who joins mechanical engineering.”

“We visited the college and the Chairman and informed them about our idea for a movie. They even shared some interesting incidents from their college days with us. But our movie is not about the students of Sree Budha or their lives, it is an entirely fictional story. The first look poster was received with good response in social medias and we hope that our movie will be able to satisfy the audience.”

The director has assured that, the movie will have a refreshingly new flavour of life and would definitely connect with all audiences, engineers and non-engineers alike.

The movie is being planned on a bigger canvas. A new production and distribution company Arabian Dreams and Entertainment headed by Rinu and Shibu K Moideen will be producing this movie. Interestingly, both the producers are also graduates from mechanical engineering.

Queen will start rolling in March this year.
