Powerstar trailer fetches 2 million views in 2 days

The trailer of Omar Lulu’s upcoming film ‘Powerstar’ with Babu Antony was released on the occasion of Eid. Within two days of its release, the trailer has got a whopping 2 million views in YouTube. Though the response has not been all that great, the makers must be glad that the trailer has reached out to so many people.

‘Powestar’ marks Babu Antony’s comeback to being a lead actor, and that too in a full-fledged action role. In the trailer, he is seen sporting a long haired look. Abu Salim and Niyaz also accompany him.

‘Power Star’ is scripted by the late Dennis Joseph. It is said to be a complete action-packed entertainer with the story centred around drug deals. Though Omar had initially announced Riyaz Khan, Baburaj, Hollywood actor Louis Mandylor, retired American kickboxer Robert Parham and Kannada star Shreyas Manju as part of the cast, it is not sure if they’re still part of the film.

‘Powerstar’ has Sinu Sidharath as the cinematographer. The film also marks Omar Lulu’s debut as a music director. He is composing the songs and background score for the film.

Vijay to play a cameo in Shah Rukh Khan-Atlee film Jawan?

As reported earlier by us, Tamil filmmaker Atlee is making his Bollywood debut with ‘Jawan’ starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. The film’s recent announcement and the first look became quite a sensation in social media. Touted to be an action thriller, the film is backed by SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment.

Latest buzz is that Vijay is likely to play a cameo role in ‘Jawan’. It is well known that Vijay and director Atlee are very close friends after having worked together in three films — Theri, Mersal and Bigil. So the possibilities of Vijay making a guest appearance in ‘Jawan’ can’t be dismissed as such. Reports suggest that Vijay and Shah Rukh Khan’s portions will be shot in mid-September in Chennai. The ‘Kaththi’ actor had earlier made a similar cameo appearance in Akshay Kumar’s ‘Rowdy Rathore’, directed by Prabhu Deva.

‘Jawan’ already has Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra and Priya Mani as part of the cast. There are also unconfirmed reports about Vijay Sethupathi also acting in the film. An official confirmation is still awaited. Anirudh Ravichander, who had earlier composed the background score for Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Jersey’, is making his full-fledged Bollywood debut with ‘Jawan’.
