0

2015 is going as a great year for Nivin Pauly and without doubt it is the best year of this actor in his career spanning 6-7 years. The success and recognition is at his door and whatever he touches is turning to gold kind of situation, that’s what happening now in his life. Just two days back he had received the first best actor award of his career in SIIMA and had the biggest fortune to receive that award from the hands of Mohanlal as well.

He posted about that luck in his Facebook page today morning itself with a picture receiving the award from Mohanlal. But may not be in his wildest dreams thought that today evening itself he will be honored by the State Government of Kerala with the Best Actor Award in the state film awards for the year 2014. Along with Nivin actor Sudev Nair for his performance in the film named My Life partner also honored with the Best Actor Award. The film which is based on homo sexulaity is not yet released but will hit the screens soon. He is an actor as well as a Model.

But what makes this award more beautiful is that, on the course of winning this award Nivin Pauly and Sudev Nair had competed with actors like Mammootty, Lal, Jayasurya and Musthafa and so on. According to the jury members Nivin Pauly’s performance as Rameshan in Abrid shine directorial film 1983 and as Kuttan in Anjali Menon directorial Bangalore Days really speaks volume about the actor’s maturity as a performer. Even though Mammootty had performed well as Raghavan in Munnariyippu, the jury members including eminent filmmakers like John Paul thinks that Nivin’s performance in 1983 and Sudev’s performance in My life partner was more realistic and natural than Mammootty’s Raghavan.

Earlier there was reports that there is a great difficulty in choosing the best actor from the pool of above mentioned actors and some online pages reported that Mammootty will be the best actor as well. But sources from jury tells that there was no such things and Nivin Pauly and Sudev Nair were chosen unanimously as the best actors of the year and there was no confusion over anything.

Nivin Pauly has now become such an important one in our industry with his rising stardom and now the best actor state award. Some calls him the next super star among young generation and he proved that he is not just a rising superstar but also a best actor as well.

Loham will tell a unique story, says Ranjith

0

M-Town is always buzzing when it comes to one name. It is Mohanlal and his name is enough to make a film the most awaited one in Kerala. That may be the reason why in North Indian states or in industry like Bollywood they calls Mohanlal, ‘the demigod of Kerala’. A film with Mohanlal playing the central role makes it to whatever be the genre gets the maximum reach in Kerala. Unlike others stars, Mohanlal with his role as cameo in some films gets much attention.

Now Loham conceived by Ranjith starring Mohanlal is all set to conquer the box office as well as the hearts of Malayalees. Ranjith was silent all this time about what is Loham is all about and all the hype which is happening around the film, as it is a film with much expectation and the most trusted pair of Mollywood; filmmaker Ranjith and Actor Mohanlal. Being nostalgic about their previous blockbuster films people think that Loham will also be one of its kind adding one more successful movie to their team.

But Ranjith says that it is not saying that it follows a unique way of telling its story and also the background of the story and characterization of Mohanlal is very different and he confirmed, he really meant when he said the word ‘different’ to describe the film.

Ranjith told medias that ‘Loham’ is about exploring various angles of an issue which is happening in our society nowadays. We are witnessing many issues, crimes and heard news about many people found guilty during an act of crime and so on. But we never thinks that everything has another side as well and there are different angles to that story. We don’t know what exactly made that incident or why it happened. We do not find out what happened in the situation other than what we are reported. Loham explores that part of life where there is many angles to an incident. There are people who commit crime knowingly and there are people who does it unknowingly. There is a strange world of crime in our society and Loham goes somewhat deep in to that concept.

It is a story that took place in the gap of few days and will follow a very distinguished style of telling the story which will be its highlight for sure.

Now Nivin’s Premam is behind the universal star Mohanlal’s flick Drishyam (2013) by Jeethu Joseph as it had secured the highest grosser in Mollywood 2 years back and still reigning like a boss.

Two days back the SIIMA-South Indian International Award- has been announced and distributed awards at Dubai. From Malayalam, Nivin Pauly was chosen as the best actor of 2014 for his performance in the above mentioned film 1983 conceived by Abrid Shine which had really helped the rise of Nivin Pauly as an actor and a star in Mollywood.

The very recent buzz from the Bollywood is that they are going to start a new biographical cinema on the life of our former President, APJ Abdul Kalam which will soon get to see the limelight. The movie is said to be directed by Nila Madhab Panda who directed I am Kalam (2011). I Am Kalam was one of the most critically acclaimed movie of the year which won a lot of awards and also was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010.I Am Kalam was based on the subject of one’s dream. As a follower of Kalam, it’s rumored that Nila Madhab Panda would be the best choice for this movie.

Another interesting news is that the role of Abdul Kalam would be portrayed by none other than the angry young man of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan. He would be worth the role in every way as an actor for this role. The movie will be focusing more on the tough times of Abdul Kalam and his striving journey. At present, Nila Madhab Panda is working on his magnum opus Kaun Kitney Panee Mein starring Kunal Kapoor, Radhika Apte, Gulshan Grover and Saurabh Shukla. This film is produced by One Drop Foundation, Montreal and the film is set to release on 28th August this year. After this project Panda will be working on and researching more on the life of Abdul Kalam to have a better vision on how the movie will turn out. He also strongly believes that Kalam will always be with us.

A.P.J is a man who needs no preface for any Indians, he was ‘People’s President’ and was one of the greatest scientists, teachers, motivators and inspiring figures the country has ever seen. Abdul Kalam passed away on 27th of July this year after collapsing during his lecture at IIM Shillong. The life of Abdul Kalam is hence a textbook for every citizen on this globe for his commitment and dedication. As a man who has contributed more than enough for the country, this movie would be a great tribute to this exceptional personality.

Let’s hope and believe that this motion picture will come out to the limelight with every standard it deserves and become an unforgettable one in Indian cinema. Wait to know more updates …
