Kollywood actor Karthi enjoys a fair share of popularity in Kerala eventhough not as much like his brother Suriya. Karthi is slowly gaining a foothold among the Malayali audience.

The charming actor is currently working with legendary director Mani Ratnam in his upcoming movie Kaatru Veliyidai.

Karthi’s last release was Kashmora a horror-fantasy-comedy drama in which he played dual roles in two different get ups. Though the movie did not do well at the box office, Karthi’s performance was highly appreciated.

Karthi in a recent interview has said that he is waiting for an exciting script to make his entry to Mollywood. He has already met many directors from the industry, but apparently the scripts were not really exciting.

Karthi recently entered Telugu film industry through the bilingual Oopiri which was made as Thozha in Tamil. Karthi starred alongside superstar Nagarjuna in the movie. Mollywood heartthrob Dulquer Salmaan and Karthi were earlier set to star together in a movie directed by Mani Ratnam.

Apart from some thrilling moments, Ezra will also have a solid storyline. The movie will have an entirely different background that has not been tried in Malayalam cinema yet, said the director.

After Pulimurugan, Kalavoor Ravikumar facing a new problem

Kalavoor Ravikumar’s upcoming movie Kuttikalund Sookshikkuka is gearing up for release this month. The movie was scheduled to release last month, but was postponed due to the huge success of Pulimurugan.

But director Kalavoor Ravikumar is now facing a new problem in the form of cash shortage due to the demonetisation move initiated by the government.

Kalavoor Ravikumar has said that the Prime Minister’s sudden move has affected the entertainment industry adversely.

Kuttikalund Sookshikkuka is scheduled to release on November 25th. But thetares in Kerala are wearing a deserted look. People are spending money only for their day to day needs. As a result the entertainment industry has been largely affected by the scrapping of 500 and 1000 rupee notes.

Kalavoor Ravikumar has said that it is very difficult to postpone the release of movies repeatedly. The posters have already been printed, thetares are blocked, movie has also been uploaded to UFO and cube. So postponing the movie again can incur huge losses for the producer.

Theatre owners should stand by the producers in this dire situation. Good movies should be encouraged and not removed from screening very soon, said the director.
