The first look poster of Jayasurya’s new film ‘Eesho’ got shared online recently. Nadhirshah is directing the film, which is said to be a thriller.

Recently, Kottayam Nazeer had painted a similar portrait of Manoj K Jayan’s character Dhigambaran from ‘Anandabhadram’. Before entering the mimicry arena, Nazeer was a professional artist. He studied the basics of painting for three years after SSLC at AP Arts School.

Last year, during the lockdown phase, Nazeer had undertaken a challenge to come out with 21 paintings during the 21 days. One of them was a painting depicting Christ’s crown of thorns. It was later snapped up by Alappuzha Beach Club for Rs 1 lakh. He donated the entire amount to Kerala Chief Minister’s Distress Relief Fund. In 2018, Nazeer had staged an exhibition — ‘Dreams of Colours’ in Kochi, which featured 54 paintings.

Even non-Malayalis and celebs from various other industries have been raving about the film. Starring Kunchacko Boban, Nimisha Sajayan and Joju George as the leads, ‘Nayattu’ is a hard-hitting and thought-provoking film that is a part a social-drama as well as a survival-thriller.

Meanwhile, the film’s making video has been released online. It has director Martin Prakkat giving instructions to hid actors during the police station sequence, which is the film’s major turning point. Cinematographer Shyju Khalid is also seen in the video.

Fahadh Faasil to play a corrupt police officer in Pushpa!

Fahadh Faasil is making his Telugu debut by playing the villain role in Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa’. Directed by Sukumar, it is an action-packed entertainer planned on a big scale. It is said that the film revolves around the smuggling of red sanders in the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh border.

While Allu Arjun plays a lorry driver, Fahadh is said to be essaying the role of a corrupt police officer. The clash between the two stars is expected to be one of the film’s major highlight. Initially, Vijay Sethupathi was signed for the antagonist’s role but he later opted out due to date issues. Fahadh has shot for only a very few days as the team had to stop works due to the second wave of pandemic.

Though ‘Pushpa’ was originally planned as a regular single-part film, the makers have now decided to extend it. It is learnt that the team is planning to release the film in two parts as they believe the script has such high potential. As per reports, ‘Pushpa: Part 1’ will be released either in October or mid-December and the second part might start rolling by next summer.

The film challenges the viewer to think and reflect on what is good and what is evil. Tovino and Sumesh Moor essay the lead roles while Lal, Divya Pillai, Bibin Perumbillikunnel and Pramod Velliyanad appear in supporting roles.

With Kamal Haasan freeing himself from all the political commitments, his much-hyped film ‘Vikram’ is gearing up to go on floors soon. Lokesh Kanagaraj is directing the film, which is expected to be a spin-off of Kamal’s lead character from the 1986 film, ‘Vikram’. The star’s own banner Raaj Kamal Film International (RKFI) is producing the film.

While Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil has already confirmed acting in ‘Vikram’, latest buzz is that ‘Angamaly Diaries’ fame Antony Varghese has also been approached to play an important role. It is worth a mention that Antony was supposed to be a part of Lokesh’s previous film ‘Master’ but got replaced by Arjun Das at the last moment.

There are also reports about Vijay Sethupathi playing a major role in ‘Vikram’. So an official announcement from the makers regarding the cast members is keenly awaited. On the technical front, Lokesh has retained cinematographer Sathyan Sooryan and music director Anirudh Ravichander.
