Mohanlal plays a store manager in Manamantha

We all know that Mollywood super star Mohanlal is doing two Telugu films this year and the shooting of one film is already completed. It was directed by National award winning director named Chandrashekhar Yeleti and Mohanlal plays the male lead in it. Gauthami and Urvashi plays the female leads in the film and it is titled as Manamantha. It is a family drama and as per the latest reports, Mohanlal plays the character of a store keeper in this film. He is a middle class man and running a middle class life. The character has not much heroism and he is a common man.

This news is very pleasing to his fans and film lovers as whenever Mohanlal plays the character of a common man or a middle class ordinary character, he had provided us the finest examples of natural acting and really the magic of it. In Mollywood most of his common man roles were considered as the best and it had acquired cult classic status as well. Many of his common man roles had created such an impact here in Kerala that he had become the most popular Keralite of the 20th century and after. Whenever he plays the character of a common man, he was astonishingly convincing and gives as the feeling that he is just living in front of the camera as that character.

Mollywood had witnessed histories being created by this man at box office by playing common man roles while other stars had to play mass roles to create record breakers. The last example was 2013 film named Drishyam, which had become the biggest ever success in Mollywood and still ruling the charts like an emperor. It had 4 Indian language remakes and now remaking to an international level as well.

Mohanlal don’t even used much make up in Manamantha to make that ordinary man character to look natural and he had learned Telugu to dub naturally for the film as well. His next Telugu film will start this month, titled as Janata Garage. It will have Jr. NTR with him and will be directed by Koratala Siva.

Drishyam was never an inspired or copied film says Jeethu Joseph

Drishyam was never an inspired or copied film says Jeethu Joseph

Director Jeethu Joseph had again said and clarified that his biggest success ever named Drishyam was never an inspired or copied movie from any foreign language films. Some critics said earlier that Drishyam had copied from a Korean film named Suspect X. But the fact of the matter is that both films have no connection at all. The only link is that both tells the story of a man who creates fake evidences to save a family. The similarity ends there. Even the theme is not similar to each other apart from that minute thread.

Drishyam had become the biggest ever success in Mollywood and this Mohanlal starrer is still there at the Number One spot among the all-time blockbusters of Mollywood. It had remade to 4 different Indian languages and now reportedly remaking to Sri Lankan language as well. Jeethu Joseph says that the only film he did after taking from a foreign language film is his Dileep film named My Boss. It was inspired from a Hollywood film named Proposal. Jeethu Joseph said that all other films he made was came from his thought and its original creations.

The thought of Drishyam or the element of Drishyam came to his mind when he was participating a in a family discussion when the talk of the love affair between a girl and boy who were very important to them came among them. That love affair had created problems between the concerned families but Jeethu Joseph said their family was in a confusion as to support which one as there is justice in both sides. That thought came in to the film.

Later when mobile came, he incorporated that in to the theme and after that a murder as well. Thus he developed the story in almost 12 year time and that finally conceived as Drishyam. He said that that’s why he is so confident about the originality of his film. If some not ready to believe it, then let it be like that. He had no problems.

Jeethu Joseph says that remake is not a crime and he also wonders why some people thinks that similar kind of ideas cannot come in the mind of two different people living in different parts of the world.
