Priyadarshan busy scripting his next for Akshay Kumar!

Priyadarshan is one of those very few filmmakers from South to have carved a niche in the world of Bollywood. The veteran has worked with top stars in Hindi including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn etc. With Akshy Kumar, Priyadarshan has collaborated in multiple films, some of which were hugely successful.

In a recent interview, the director revealed that he is currently working on a script for Akshay Kumar. The actor-duo had earlier worked together in some superhit films like ‘Hera Pheri’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ and ‘Garam Masala’. Priyadarshan has often said that there’s a great comfort factor while working with Akshay Kumar and that has reflected on the success of their films. An official word regarding their new film is eagerly awaited.

Meanwhile, the release of ‘Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham’, touted to be Priyadarshan’s magnum opus, is still uncertain. The mammoth project made on a budget of around Rs 100 crore was originally supposed to hit screens on March 28. However, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, release plans had to be dropped. The makers are planning to release the film only by December or early next year.

Prithviraj and Vishnu Vishal share mutual admiration for their works!

‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ has to be the most talked about Malayalam film of the year so far. The film directed by Sachy had Prithviraj Sukumaran and Biju Menon in the lead roles. Although it was a big success at the box office, it was after the OTT release that many non-Malayalis started watching the film and were mighty impressed by it.

Recently, Tamil actor Vishnu Vishal got to watch the film and tweeted in praise of it. Tagging Prithviraj, he wrote,

Hii @PrithviOfficial sir..

#ayppanumkoshanayum is a superb example of being honest and and straight forward…
In luv with u and ur team..
Am sure u wil b bak from wher u r..
As a fan and a well wisher…
God bless…

Vishnu vishal

Prithviraj replied by back by saying how he loved Vishnu’s cop-thriller film ‘Ratchasan’ and that he is looking forward to seeing more such great works. It is very heartening to see stars from two industries share such mutual admiration.

‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ meanwhile is set to remade in Tamil and Tamil. S Kathiresan, who has produced acclaimed films like ‘Aadukalam’ and ‘Jigarthanda’ has acquired the rights of the Tamil version. Sasikumar and Sarath Kumar are rumoured to be playing the lead roles but there is no official confirmation yet. The film’s Telugu rights have been bagged by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi, who was the producer of superhit film ‘Jersey’ and the line producer of recent blockbuster ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramloo’ has bagged the rights.

It will be interesting to see how the makers of the Tamil and Telugu version adapt ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ to suit the sensibilities of the native audience.

Sharafudheen is having a great time not just on the professional front, but in his personal life as well. The actor has been blessed with a baby girl. Sharaf himself took to his official social media handle to share a cute photo of the newborn. He is married to Beema, who hails from Changanassery. The couple have another daughter named Dua.

Though Sharafudheen started his career in 2013 with ‘Neram’, it was his performance in ‘Premam’ that made him popular among the masses. He was mostly confined to comedy, side-kick roles before ‘Varathan’ gave him a big makeover. The Fahadh Faasil starrer had Sharaf in a negative role for the first time in his career. His menacing act in it was lapped by critics and general audience alike.

Earlier this year, he played a brief but highly impactful role in ‘Anjaam Pathira’. ‘Kuttavum Shikshayum’, ‘Halal Love Story’, ‘Djinn’ and ‘Thallumaala’ are some of his upcoming films.

Priyadarshan rates Fahadh Faasil as the most natural actor in Malayalam after Mohanlal

In the last few years, Fahadh Faasil has been consistently delivering stellar performances back to back to establish himself as one of the most talented actors in the country today. He has proved his mettle to perform both urban and rural roles with ease. Humour is another genre that the actor has excelled in. Ace filmmmaker Priyadarshan believes that Fahadh is the most natural actor in Malayalam after Mohanlal.

In a recent interview to The Newsminute, Priyadarshan is quoted saying, “Fahadh Faasil is the best among the current crop. Some of his performances are so natural and he can pull off even humour with ease. Perhaps he is the most natural actor in Malayalam after Mohanlal.”

Though Priyadarshan hasn’t worked with Fahadh before, he had remade ‘Maheshinte Prathikaram’ in Tamil with Udhayanidhi Stalin in the lead. While the original was a huge success that even won a couple of National awards, the Tamil version ended up as a failure.

It is already known that AR Murugadoss will be directing Vijay’s next after ‘Master’. Tentatively titled as ‘Thalapathy 65’, the film will be produced by Sun Pictures. Ace cinematographer Santosh Sivan is also on board. Latest addition to the team is composer S Thaman, who is making waves with his works in the Telugu film industry.

Thaman himself confirmed it in a recent interview that he will be handling the music department in ‘Thalapathy 65’. He is quoted saying, “I’m very excited about teaming up with Thalapathy Vijay. We’ve been following up for the past 3 years. Finally, everything has fallen in place.”

Thaman’s music in the recently released Allu Arjun starrer ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo’ was widely praised. All the songs turned out to be rocking chartbusters and his work became a major factor in the film’s success. Naturally, expectations will be high when Thaman teams up with a superstar like Vijay.

While speculations are rife that ‘Thalapathy 65’ will be a sequel to Vijay-Murugadoss combo’s blockbuster film ‘Thuppakki’, the makers are yet to confirm it. Formal announcement is expected to be made only after the Corona crisis is over.

It is expected to be a proper mass film with loads of action in it. Omar has also revealed that a Bollywood actor will be playing the villain role and there will be no heroine in the film.

Vijay’s much-anticipated film ‘Master’ was supposed to hit screens in April but due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the makers were forced to drop all their plans. The film will be releasing only after things return back to normalcy but there is still no fall in expectations. There is still a huge buzz around the film and every new update regarding ‘Master’ is celebrated by the fans.

In a recent interview, Rathna Kumar, one of the film’s writers, affirmed that fans will get to see a different Vijay in the film. Rathna Kumar is also the director of films like ‘Meyaadha Maan’ and ‘Aadai’. According to him, the attitude of the character Vijay plays in ‘Master’ is very close to how the star behaves as a person. It will be a socially responsible film but without a preachy tone.

‘Master’ has Vijay essaying the part of a college professor named John Durairaj. He is also the Dean of Students Association in an arts and science college. Malavika Mohanan, who is paired with Vijay in the film, also supposedly plays a college professor’s role. Actors like Vijay Sethupathi, Andrea Jeremiah, Arjun Das, Gouri Kishan, Shanthanu Bhagyaraj and Ramya Subramaniam are also part of the cast.

Marakkar Arabikadalinte Simham to hit screens only in December or early 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has thrown the entertainment industry into a predicament. Worldwide, big production houses have been postponing the release of films that were originally scheduled for this summer. In Malayalam, the worst to be affected has to be ‘Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham’. This mammoth project made on a budget of around Rs 100 crores was supposed to release on March 28 in over 5000 theatres across the globe.

However, Covid-19 outbreak and the lockdown imposed by the government played spoilsport. Even after a month, a sense of uncertainty still looms over when things will return back to normalcy. Industry insiders inform that it might take up to August or September for theatres to open in full swing. The makers of ‘Marakkar’ meanwhile are planning to release the film only in December or early next year.

In a recent interview with TNM, the film’s director Priyadarshan had said that they are concerned about the product but are in no hurry to release the film. They will be taking a call regarding the release only when the world returns to normalcy and people are in a position to enjoy things the way they used to earlier.

‘Marakkar’ has top artists and technicians from across the country associated with it. Aashirvad Cinemas, Confident Group and Moonshot Entertainment are jointly producing the film.

The biggest romantic icon of the 70s. I’ve been a fan and keenly observed him and he was my favourite of all the Kapoors up until his generation.
