Mohanlal off to Dubai after Drishyam 2 completion

Shoot for Mohanlal’s much hyped film ‘Drishyam 2’ got wrapped up only last day. The makers had planned a 56-day schedule but managed to pack up in 46 days. Meanwhile, Mohanlal has headed to Dubai right after the completion of his portions. It is not yet known if it is a personal visit or part of any professional commitments.

Mohanlal will next be shooting for B Unnikrishnan’s film. Udhayakrishna has scripted the film, which is yet to be titled. Popular South Indian actress Shraddha Srinath, noted for her roles in films like ‘U Turn’, ‘Jersey’ and ‘Vikram Vedha’, has been signed as the female lead. She will be seen as an IAS officer in the film.

Kamal Haasan’s next with Lokesh Kanagaraj titled Vikram; Check out the title teaser!

As Kamal Haasan celebrates his 66th birthday today, the title announcement of his new film with director Lokesh Kanagaraj has been made. It has been titled as ‘Vikram’ and a brilliantly made teaser has also been released online. The 2-minute long video clip features Kamal hiding various weapons, including guns and knives, from his visitors — presumed to be cops and politicians. This title teaser further strengthens the speculations that Lokesh is planning an action-packed gangster flick.

Kamal’s own production house Raaj Kamal Film International (RKFI) is producing ‘Vikram’, which is planned as a summer 2021 release. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music. It is worth a mention that ‘Vikram’ is the title of another Kamal film that got released back in 1986. Interestingly, Anirudh has reused the same iconic background score for this new film as well.

Director Lokesh is a self-confessed fan of Kamal Haasan. So, ‘Vikram’ is expected to be a fanboy’s tribute as a matinee idol just like how Karthik Subbaraj made ‘Petta’ with Rajinikanth.

VVS Laxman wants Mahesh Babu to act in his biopic!

Over the last few years, Indian cinema has seen a real surge in biopics, particularly that of sportspersons. The life stories of icons like Milkha Singh, Mary Kom and the Phogat sisters have been well received. When it comes to cricketers, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Mohammed Azharuddin have already got films made based on their life. In a recent candid chat with former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman was asked about which actor he would prefer to see in his biopic.

Laxman replied that he would love to see Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu to essay his role if his biography, ‘281 And Beyond’, is ever made as a feature film. The Hyderabad-based legendary batsman is said to be a big fan of Mahesh Babu. Last year, during the release of the star’s film ‘Maharshi’, Laxman took to his social handle to shower praises on the socially relevant entertainer. He also rated Mahesh Babu’s performance as a powerful one.

It will be interesting to see if a top-rated star like Mahesh Babu signs the biopic and bring to screen the life of one of India’s greatest red ball cricketers ever.

Aadujeevitham next schedule planned in Algeria

Ace filmmaker Blessy’s highly ambitious film ‘Aadujeevitham’ has been in the making for over three years. However, the film still in the halfway stage. The makers have had to endure various obstacles during this period, the latest being the pandemic. Earlier this year, actor Prithviraj had undergone a drastic physical transformation, a first of this kind in Malayalam cinema, for playing the lead character Najeeb. They were shooting in Jordan when the pandemic situation worsened worldwide. As a result, the 56-member team got struck in the country for over a month before the government arranged their return.

Despite all that, director Blessy and his team is still pursuing the project with the same passion. They are planning the next schedule in Algeria. Major portions will be shot in the Sahara desert. They are waiting for the restrictions to be lifted and acquire the required permissions for shooting abroad.

‘Aadujeevitham’ is based on a popular novel of the same name by Benyamin. The story is about a Najeeb, a migrant labourer who gets stranded in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. For playing the character, Prithviraj had lost around 30 kilos to achieve a malnourished look. Amala Paul is also part of the cast. Maestro AR Rahman is making his comeback to Malayalam after two long decades with this film.

Hrithik Roshan to make his Hollywood debut with a spy-thriller

Hrithik Roshan is unarguably among the most charismatic actors to have ever the screen in Indian cinema. After a series of duds, the star returned back to form last year with back to back hits in ‘Super 30’ and ‘War’. He is currently prepping up to start works on the latest installment from his father’s ambitious superhero series ‘Krrish’.

As per latest reports believed, Hrithik has now bagged his maiden Hollywood project. It will be his next after the completion of ‘Krrish 4’. Touted to be a spy-thriller, the film will have Hrithik in a parallel lead role. Earlier this year, he signed a deal with a US based agency named Gersh, which was a clear indication that he is planning to expand wings. As is customary in the west, the actor had auditioned for the role few weeks back. It is said to be a multi-million project backed by a leading production house. A confirmation is expected to be out from Hrithik’s side soon.

Sai Pallavi to reprise Kannamma’s character in Ayyappanum Koshiyum remake!

There have been numerous speculations about the cast of the remake of superhit Malayalam film ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’. The film is already confirmed to be remade in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi languages. Remake rights have already been bagged by top production houses from the respective industries and pre-production works are currently underway.

In Telugu, it is said that Pawan Kalyan will be playing one of the lead roles. For the other lead, names like Rana Daggubatti and Nithin are doing the rounds. Latest buzz is that Sai Pallavi has been approached to essay one of the female lead’s part. She will be reprising the role of Kannamma, which was played by Gowri Nandha in the original. Her performance in the film was widely appreciated. Being a proven performer, Sai Pallavi seems to be a great choice but the makers still have to confirm about the same.

Venki Atlury, known for directing films like ‘Tholi Prema’ and ‘Rang De’, is likely to helm the Telugu version of ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’. The original directed by late Sachy revolves around a raging conflict between a policeman and a retired havildar. Since the film was a huge hit, the makers of the remake versions will be hoping to repeat a similar success.
