Mohnalal’s new look for Barroz revealed?

Ever since the lockdown started, Mohanlal has been seen sporting a beard. Last day, a new photo of him got leaked online. The long, thick beard he is currently sporting is believed by many to be his look for his directorial debut ‘Barroz’. Shoot for this highly ambitious film was supposed to begin in June this year but due to the Covid-19 crisis, all plans had to be changed. It is not yet known if the makers are planning to start shooting this year.
Since it is a big scale film with several foreign actors in the cast, it seems highly impossible to shoot during this period.

‘Barroz’ is scripted by Jijo Punnoose, the visionary filmmaker who made India’s first 3D film ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’. It is the story of Barroz, a mythical figure who was the gaurdian of Vasco da Gama’s valuable treasures for 400 years. Mohanlal himself will be playing the titular role. Antony Perumbavoor is producing the film under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas.

Anwar Rasheed to back Othalanga Thuruthu movie adaptation!

During this lockdown period, Malayalam web series ‘Othalanga Thuruthu’ found a lot of fans in social medias. Though the makers have released just 6 episodes so far, the series has got a massive reach among the youngsters. It is now learnt that director Anwar Rasheed has offered to produce the movie adaptation of ‘Othalanga Thuruthu’. A formal announcement is expected to be made soon.

‘Othalanga Thuruthu’ is a fun web series that is written, directed and edited by Ambuji. Though the first episode was released almost a year back, the series found popularity only recently. All the 6-episodes have now garnered over 1.5 million views. The realistic treatment, overall quirkiness and the non-stop humour, that is both situational and exaggerated, has worked big-time.

It will be interesting to see how ‘Othalanga Thuruthu’ gets adapted to a movie format. Anwar Rasheed is known for being extremely successful, both as a director and a filmmaker. With someone like him backing the project, the young team should have the liberty to make a quality product without much compromise on budget. The series has Abin Bino, Jayesh Janardhan, and Jagadeesh Kumar in the lead roles. It remains to be seen if the same cast and crew will be retained for the film adaptation.
