“March 28 will be special till I die”, Prithviraj on the first year anniversary of Lucifer

“March 28 will be special till I die”, Prithviraj on the first year anniversary of Lucifer

It has been exactly one year since the release of Malayalam cinema’s biggest ever blockbuster ‘Lucifer’. The film which marked the directorial debut of Prithviraj Sukumaran had superstar Mohanlal in the lead. Releasing amidst tremendous hype, the film shattered multiple records and emerged as the first ever Malayalam film to enter the elite Rs 200 crore club. Exactly one year after his maiden film hit screens, Prithviraj looked back at the fond memories and penned a sweet little note on his social media handle. It reads,

Last year this time, I had just finished loading Lucifer on all platforms and checked the out on each one of them. It was the culmination of a 3 month long, frantic, day and night post production schedule. There was no way I could have made it on time without the constant support of my cinematographer, directorial, edit, sound, DI and VFX team. One year since, the world is a lot different. And I’m a good 30 odd kilos lighter! These are tough times..and I guess memories that inspire you are more important than ever. The next morning, groggy and sleep deprived, Supriya and I went to Kavitha single screen in Ernakulam to see the first day first show of my directorial debut. And Lalettan gave me one of the best surprises of my lifetime by joining us amidst a humungous crowd. It’s been a fairly long journey in cinema..but 28/03/19 will be special till I die! Stay safe folks. ❤️ #Empuraan

Prithviraj’s better half Supriya also took to her social media handle to share a photo taken with her husband and Mohanlal right after watching the first show at Kavitha theatre. She has captioned it as,

It’s one year to this picture. It was taken immediately after we got out of watching Lucifer at Kavita theatre. I was ecstatic, Prithvi was overwhelmed and a visibly composed Lal ettan was his usual calm self. We didn’t realise then that we had just witnessed history in the making but at that moment for me it was all about capturing the mood that instant between the director and his lead actor. #Lucifer#OneYearOn#Gratitude#EmpuraanIsComing

‘Empuraan’, the second part of ‘Lucifer’ is expected to go on floors sometime next year. Murali Gopy is scripting the film and Prithviraj himself will be directing it. Along with Mohanlal’s Stephen Nedumbally aka Qureshi Abram, Prithviraj’s Zayed Masood will also has an important role in the sequel.

Bilal: Mamta Mohandas says she’s thoroughly excited to be back with Big B team

As we already know, a sequel for the 2007 Mammootty starter ‘Big B’ is getting ready. Titled as ‘Bilal’, the film will have most of the cast and crew members from the first part retained. Amal Neerad, who made his debut with ‘Big B’, is helming the sequel as well. Mammootty, Bala, Manoj K Jayan and Mamta Mohandas will be reprising their roles.

In a recent interview, Mamta sounded very excited to be back with the ‘Big B’ team. She will be seen reprising the character Rimi, who was the love interest of Murugan John Kurishingal, played by Bala. Their romantic track offered the much-needed light hearted moments in ‘Big B’. The song ‘Muthu Mazha’ featuring Bala and Mamta was a big hit at those times.

When it comes to the second part, Mamta’s character Rimi will be better, matured and a little more part of the Kurishingal family. The actress herself revealed this in a recent interview to TOI. She is quoted saying,

“Big B was Amal’s first film and I’m sure once we start shooting we are all going to go back to crazy nostalgia. It’s going to be an experience for us to relish at location. We are all looking forward to it and are excited about the new addition to the cast in Bilal. After all it’s a franchise movie, so Rimi is going to be Rimi, just a few notches better, matured and a little more part of the Kurishingal family. She’s one of them now, rather than being looked at as an outsider.”

‘Bilal’ shoot was supposed to kick-start on March 21, but due to the Corona virus outbreak, the makers have been forced to shelve their plans. Unni R is scripting the film and it will have music by Gopi Sunder.

Balakrishna and Rana to star in Ayyappanum Koshiyum Telugu remake?

We were among the first to report about blockbuster Malayalam film ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ getting remade in Telugu. Suryadevara Naga Vamsi, who was the producer of superhit film ‘Jersey’ and the line producer of recent blockbuster ‘Ala Vaikunthapurramloo’, has bagged the rights. Tollywood medias report that Nandamuri Balakrishna and Rana Daggubati are in talks to play the lead roles in the Telugu version.

If reports are to be believed, Balakrishna will be playing the role essayed by Biju Menon and Rana will be reprising the part done by Prithviraj Sukumaran. It is not yet known who will be directing the film. An formal announcement is expected to be made by the makers shortly.

‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’, written and directed by Sachy, is a dual hero film that is centred around the conflict between a soon-to-retire policeman and a retired havildar. It is an intricately woven tale of revenge with a lot of important socio-political issues addressed. The film emerged as a huge hit at the box office and also earned critical acclaim.

‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ is also set to be remade in Tamil. S Kathiresan, who has produced acclaimed films like ‘Aadukalam’ and ‘Jigarthanda’ has acquired the rights. Buzz in social medias is that Sasikumar and Sarath Kumar might be playing the lead roles in the film. An official confirmation in this regard is still awaited.
