Political parties in Tamilnadu against Rajinikanth playing Tippu Sultan

0

Super Star Rajinikanth is now all set to begin his new film named Kabali which is directed by Ranjith who had given a super hit with Karthi in the lead named Madras last year. Rajinikanth had given dates to the young director after reading the script of the film which really impressed him a lot. The character he plays has a lot to perform as an actor even though the film will be conceived as a wholesome entertainer keeping in mind the fans of Rajnikanth. The film tells the story of a Madurai based underworld don who has to shift his focus from Madurai to Malaysia once.

But there comes the report of another film as well in which Rajni will be acting in the coming future and it will be the role of the great Tippu Sultan of Mysore. Few days back a Kannada producer said to the media the life story of Tippu Sultan will be made into a film soon and that Super Star Rajinikanth will play the lead role in it. But with the news came in political parties in Tamilnadu, specially the Bharatiya Janata Party in Tamil Nadu who turned against the super star and told him that it is not a right decision from his part to do the character of Tipu Sultan as the great Tipu Sultan had a negative attitude towards Tamilians when he was alive.

They say that Tipu Sultan is somewhat a murderer of many and to glorify him through a film is not at all right. When it comes to a Tamil film starring Rajinikanth it may reach to more people and that will not be the right to happen as Tipu Sultan never really liked tamilians and did whatever he can against tamilians says the BJP national secretary H. Raja. He also said that they will not allow this film to reach to the silver screen and also told Rajinikanth to withdraw from the commitment to do the film if he had made any with the Kannada producer.

But the interesting thing is that sources close to Rajnikanth says that he is not acting in movies relate to Tippu Sultan and all that was a rumour.

Fahad Fazil in Sathyan Anthikkad’s next

0

Sathyan Anthikkad is considered as one of the best and minimum guarantee director of Mollywood who never fails at box office with his films. He always make films for the family audience with a feel good factor in it and as per his interest family audience rush into the theaters and makes the film a hit as well. There may be many opinion especially among the younger generation that he is always following the same pattern in his films but the fact is that he always set the money bells ringing at box office with that so called same pattern or the metaphorical bus which runs through the same route.

Sathyan Anthikkad’s previous film was with Mohanlal and Manju Warrier in the lead named Ennum Eppozhum which released on this Vishu season and became a hit of this year with the support of family audience. He does one film a year and as per reports his next one will be with Fahad Fazil which may start on this year last and come to the theaters by next year Vishu season. As per news Sathyan Anthikkad himself is writing the screenplay of this film. He had done a film with Fahad before and it was in 2013, the film titled Oru Indian Pranaya Kadha which was a success as well or may be we can say that the only film that escaped without any injury by the storm created at box office by Mohanlal-Jeethu Joseph’s team Drishyam.

Sathyan Anthikkad always wants a regular team of his when he is working on a film that include actors and technicians. Mohanlal is his all-time favorite hero and then comes Jayaram. These two had done almost 80% of the films directed by Sathyan Anthikkad. Now Fahad has got a chance to work with him again and that means Sathyan Anthikkad has a trust on him as an actor as Sathyan believes more in performance than any stardom of an actor.

Mohanlal and Jayaram are the perfect ones for Sathyan’s film and sometimes he had to think of another as well. Official confirmation about this project has not yet come and as of now it is just a rumor.
