Arya stunned after watching Mammootty performs stunts sans dupes in The Great Father

Swashbuckling Kollywood hero Arya is making a comeback to Malayalam movies after a while through Megastar Mammootty’s The Great Father.

Arya is also one of the producers of the movie along with Prithviraj Sukumaran, Santhosh Sivan and Shaji Natesan. They own the production house August Cinemas.

Arya is known for his chiselled physique and his daredevilry stunts. The actor has pushed the limits in action sequences for many movies like Naan Kadavul, Irandam Ulagam, Meaghamann etc.

But the actor was stunned seeing the 65 year old superstar Mammootty perform in stunt sequences without any body doubles.

Arya said, “The first thing I noticed in Mammootty is the energy in him and his well maintained physique. He exercises daily without any failure and that is one of the reasons that help in performing stunts sequences even at this age.

I don’t like doing rope stunts as they are physically very tiring but he is game for all that without using any dupes. One instance that is worth a mention was the stunt in the climax sequence. We were shooting kn Wagamon then. I saw him practicing for that stunt many times.

He did not want any dupes and tried it himself many times before getting it perfect. Both his hands were tied from behind, he had to jump and get his hands in the front. It is the kind of stunt that people like Jackie Chan perform. I was bewildered while watching Mammootty perform this scene.

Arya is playing the character Andrews Eapen in the movie which also stars Sneha, Mia George, Shaam, Baby Anikha, Malavika Mohanan, Manikandan Achari, Suraj Venjaramoodu etc in other important roles.

The Great Father was earlier scheduled to release for this Christmas but was later postponed to January 27.

Pranav Mohanlal to learn Parkour for Jeethu Joseph movie

Pranav Mohanlal to learn Parkour for Jeethu Joseph movie

We had reported that Pranav Mohanlal will be debuting as a lead actor next year through Jeethu Joseph’s upcoming movie.

The director had earlier mentioned that Pranav Mohanlal’s debut movie will be an action thriller on the lines of Memories. Now we hear that Pranav is learning Parkour to play the character perfectly in his debut movie.

Parkour is a form of acrobatic physical training that involves crossing obstacles by running, climbing, jumping, rolling and swinging.

Parkour techniques have been featured in action scenes of many Hollywood movies like Casino Royale, Bourne Ultimatum, District 13 and Prince of Persia.

Mohanlal himself revealed the information in a recent interview. He said, the basics of Parkour would be easier for Pranav than for most people as he is used to gymnastics, skydiving and rock climbing.

Pranav Mohanlal does gymnastics even now so that help in attaining a fluid and flexible body language. That will also help him while learning Parkour. Mohanlal added that he feels Mohanlal chose this movie as he might have felt it suited his skills.

Mohanlal said that the only way he can help Pranav is by producing a movie or two for him but being accepted by the audience is beyond our control.

Many talented actors have come into the film industry. Even after giving their best performances they could not succeed and win over the audience. If Pranav Mohanlal can be successful, that’s well and good. If not, he will move on to something else.

Pranav Mohanlal’s yet to be untitled debut movie with Jeethu Joseph will be produced by Mohanlal’s home production banner Aashiravad Cinemas.

MG Sreekumar’s tribute to Mohanlal’s Pulimurugan

Malayalam cinema’s biggest ever blockbuster Pulimurugan is still running to packed audience in many theatres in the State. The movie recently did a business of 150 crores.

This action packed entertainer is the only Malayalam movie in the elite 100 crore club. Pulimurugan was written by Udhayakrishna and directed by Vysakh.

Pulimurugan is a complete entertainer with a number of action blocks and mass scenes. One thing that the movie lacked was a proper mass song that would have sent the fans into a frenzy mode.

Mohanlal’s previous mass movies like Naran, Narasimham, Ravanaprabhu and many others had a perfect mass number with MG Sreekumar’s voice and Mohanlal’s terrific dance moves. This was lacking in Pulimurugan.

But now the singer has released a remix version of the popular song “Velmuruga” from Naran for Pulimurugan. The video was shared in Mohanlal’s Facebook page. The song has clippings from the various action sequences in Pulimurugan.

Fans have a double delight with this song. They can hear both MG Sreekumar’s voice and Mohanlal’s amazing stunts in this video.

Theatre share issue; Munthirivallikalal Thalirkkumbol, Ezra and Jomonte Suvisheshangal will not release this Christmas

The producers association have decided to stop the Christmas releases over the theatre shares issue. The decision was taken in the association’s executive committee meeting that was held in Kochi today.

According to producers association president M Ranjith, shooting for ongoing movies will also be stopped owing to the issue between theatre owners and the film producers.

In the meeting organised between the producers association and the theatre owners federation, the producers demanded that the theatre owners should continue with the existing shares and there should not be any changes.

However since both the parties failed to end up on a compromise, the distribution and production of new movies have been stopped.

The exhibitors federation have decided to agree and move forward with those producers who are willing to meet the demands of the theatre owners. Liberty Basheer has said that Tamil and Hindi releases will not be affected due to this new development.

The theatre owners association, Exhibitors Federation have demanded half the the theatrical shares of new movies hereafter. This worsened the issue between the producers association and the theatre owners.

Distributors and producers have firmly opposed the theatre owners demand. So the distribution of new movies will be stopped from December 16. They argue that the new demand aroused by the theatre owners is against the forebodings.

Mohanlal’s Munthirivallikalal Thalirkkumbol, Dulquer Salmaan’s Jomonte Suvisheshangal and Prithviraj’s Ezra are the major releases from Mollywood for this festival season. Aamir Khan’s Dangal and Suriya’s next Singam 3 are also releasing in this season.
