Lalisom fund is now for sports scholarship

0

Lalisom controversy was one of the biggest controversies happened in Kerala this year and the controversy had got great reach only because it had one name in it who unarguably is the most popular Malayali of this century. Its Mohanlal, the god of acting for Malayalees. The controversy had happened in and around national games held in Kerala this year. In the inaugural function of the national games Mohanlal had performed a musical live show at the venue with his own band named Lalism –the Lal effect. It was the first ever performance of the band and unfortunately it terribly went wrong much to the bad luck of Mohanlal and everybody went all out against him with their criticismz.

Mohanal did not demand any remuneration for performing there and he performed there for free of cost. But government had given him an amount close to 2 crores for the cost of organizing the program and also for giving remuneration for the singers coming from other states to perform at the function with the band. But when criticisms pour in everybody just blamed Mohanlal alone for what happened there.

But Mohanlal had rised above all won the hearts of even the critics of him by giving back all that money from his own pocket to the government saying that the criticisms really made him sad as he did all that with utmost sincerity and honesty. The lack of time to prepare for the function as he had requested by the government to organize the program at the very last minute made it went worse and he tried his best to save it from ruining. But still he had to suffer all the criticism.

Government was not ready to accept that money back from Mohanlal as first because they believed with assurance that it was not at all Mohanlal’s fault and he not at all accepted any money as his remuneration for the program. But Mohanlal stayed strong in his decision and at last government had to accept it.

Now reports says that the money given by Mohanlal will be used for a sports scholarship as suggested by Mohanlal himself and Government is also ready to do it after a meeting regarding this matter. Many people had trolled Mohanlal for this controversy and now he proving to them all that he is a man of utmost sincerity and dignity and will rise above all with his great attitude and broad mind.

First arrest in Premam piracy issue

0

After so much cry about police not taking any action against the Premam piracy issue an arrest was made by police at last. But the irony is that it was not Kerala police and not from Kerala as well. It was in Australia and the arrest was made by the anti- piracy cell there. The arrested person is but a Malayali from Pala, Kottayam, who is working as an engineer at Melbourne Australia. The arrested person downloaded Premam from the internet and got arrested by the anti-piracy cell there by the instruction from here. According to the anti-piracy laws in Australia the arrested person has to pay a fine of 20000 dollars for his crime.

But the disappointing thing is that still no arrest was made in Kerala as here the print is spreading more and more. Police and anti-piracy cell of Kerala still a failure in finding out from where this print comes out which bears the water mark of a censor copy. Coming out of a censor copy is most serious in the case of piracy and still there is no action taken or still no findings regarding the issue.

Arresting the people who downloads it does not solve the matter at all as the one who uploaded it without anyone’s knowledge and reach is the most dangerous one as he can do the same to anybody and to any film. Arresting of one person does not help the cause because the print is spreading from hand to hand through DVD or Pen drives and also through bluetooth devices. Tracking each and every one who see the film is close to impossible. But tracking the ones who is uploading it to many websites can be traceable and following that link can be a method to track down the root of the issue.

Our law enforcement bodies have to be more active in this case as piracy is almost killing an entire industry and it is just destroying all the efforts made by a group of people for a creative output. It affects their career and lives as well. The piracy has very much affected the collections of Premam and it is going down day by day as well.

With the recent successes Nivin Pauly had become the center of attraction in Mollywood and most probably the most valuable young actor in Mollywood is this 31 year old actor. He has surpassed his contemporaries like Dulquer Salmaan, Fahad Fazil and even his seniors like Prithviraj and Jayasurya in terms of current star value.

0

OK Kanmani was the recent success in Kollywood directed by none other than Mani Ratnam. Mollywood young star Dulquer Salmaan and another Mollywood actress Nithya Menon were the leading pair of the film and both got great appreciation for their performance in the film as well. Dulquer Salmaan had got some special appreciation even from Amitab Bachchan and some appreciation for him had become some kind of controversy as well.

The appreciation for him from the Bollywood’s master director Ram Gopal Varma was the reason for controversy as he said that Dulquer’s father Mammootty who is the mega star in Mollywood have to learn from his own to act naturally and Ram Gopal Varma went to the extent of calling him a junior artist when compared to his son. That created a controversy as the fans of Mammootty and many others from Mollywood reacted so rudely against the comments made by Ram Gopal Varma.

Beside all these controversies the film got a satisfying success even though it was not a big or grand success. But critically it has become well acclaimed with a financial success made it the talk of the town for some weeks. Now reports are coming through many entertainment online websites that the film is going to be remade in Bollywood and the lead pair of the film will be young Bollywood star Varun Dhawan and Bollywood’s latest heartthrob Alia Bhatt.  Even though it was not officially declared the sources are confirming it.

The Hindi version will not be directing by Mani Ratnam. It will be conceived by Shad Ali who was the disciple and friend of Mani Ratnam. The talks between Mani Ratnam and Shad Ali seems to be over and both of them had reportedly agreed upon the casting of Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt.

Earlier Alia Bhatt was approached to do the female lead in the Tamil version of OK Kanmani but she refused to accept the offer. Later they went to Nithya Menon and she had given a terrific performance. Now after the success of the Tamil version it is reported that Alia is expressed her willingness to act in the Bollywood remake of the film.
