Official: Mahanati director Nag Ashwin’s next is with Prabhas!

A surprise announcement, probably the biggest of the year, has just been made. ‘Mahanati’ director Nag Ashwin is teaming up with Prabhas for a pan-Indian film. Vyjayanthi Films is backing this project. The legendary production is celebrating their 50th anniversary and this Prabhas film is hence a very prestigious one.

Though Nag Ashiwn is just two-films old, he has already proved his potential as an extremely talented filmmaker. He made his debut in 2015 with the superhit Nani starrer ‘Yevade Subramanyam’. The director’s last film ‘Mahanati’, a multilingual, was a critically and commercially successful work. It went on to win three awards at the National level, including the one for Best Feature Film in Telugu.

So when an award-winning filmmaker like Nag Ashwin joins hands with Prabhas, expectations will be sky-high. Post-Baahubali, Prabhas has established himself as a pan-Indian superstar with a nationwide fan following. Though his last film ‘Saaho’ was panned heavily by the critics, it managed to do pretty good business solely due to his star power.

Prabhas will be eager to make a strong comeback with Nag Ashwin’s film. More details regarding the project are expected to be officially announced in the coming days.

Bala starts working out for Bilal; Shoot to begin shortly!

‘Bilal’, the second part of Mammootty’s cult gangster film ‘Big B’, is gearing up to go on floors in March. Amal Neerad, who made his directorial debut with ‘Big B’, is helming the sequel as well. Bala, Mamta Mohandas and Manoj K Jayan, who all played crucial roles in the first part, have been retained in ‘Bilal’.

Bala has already started working out for the film. It is learnt that he will be sporting a ripped physique. In ‘Big B’, his character Murugan John Kurishingal was a fight master in Tamil film industry. Bala’s swift and stylish stunts were one of the film’s highlights. His character also had a parallel love track with Mamta Mohandas. The romantic song ‘Muthu Mazha’ featuring the two was a big hit at those times. It remains to be seen how far their characters have evolved in ‘Bilal’.

‘Big B’ that got released in 2007 was a stylishly shot gangster flick. During its time of release, ‘Big B’ could not fare well at the box office. But over the years, it went on to attain a cult status. Naturally, expectations on ‘Bilal’ are sky-high.
The film’s official announcement with full details regarding the cast, crew and when shoot begins are expected to be made soon.

Rajinikanth’s Annatthe is about a brother-sister relationship!

Superstar Rajinikanth’s ongoing film with director Siva has been titled as ‘Annaathe’. Scripted by the director himself, this film is touted to be a rural-based mass entertainer. We learn that it is primarily a story about an endearing brother-sister relationship. The title ‘Annatthe’, which is a rural slang for elder brother, also indicates the same. Reports suggest that, Rajinikanth and Keerthy Suresh will be seen as siblings in the film. Veterans Meena, Khushbu and Nayanthara are also part of the cast. While it is still not known who is paired with Rajinikanth, we hear that all four heroines will have equally important characters to play.

‘Thankachi’ sentiment is a subject that has always worked with the Tamil masses. Rajinikanth himself has played the typical loving brother roles multiple times in the past. Moreover, this is after a long gap that he is doing a rural entertainer with family emotions at the core. Director Siva is planning ‘Annatthe’ very much on the lines of his last film ‘Viswasam’, which was a huge blockbuster. All these factors increase the probability of ‘Annatthe’ becoming a big success.

@nimishravi (Nimish Ravi) your talent and skill completely overshadows your age and experience. I know it was just your second film and a behemoth at that. But we never felt it.
@benglann (Vinesh Benglan) you’re an artist and Kurup is your canvas. I don’t know how to appreciate the kind of work effort and talent you’ve put in Kurup cause I’m not worthy but I have a strong feeling it’ll get all the praise and recognition from all sides.
All the wonderful ADs and Camera Assistants Sound department you were our arms and limbs.
The teams of @dqswayfarerfilms and @mstarentertainments take a freakin’ bow ! You guys worked like an army.

The epic epic cast of our film

@sunnywayn (Sunny Wayne) brother from another mother. 8 years 4 movies together and our dynamic is exactly the same. Something I take immense pride in. Only love always.
@sobhitad (Sobhita Dhulipala) it’s been an absolute privilege to have you on #Kurup. You’re the most intelligent, driven, ambitious and talented co actor and often had me wondering if I need to approach my craft differently.
@indrajith_s (Indrajith Sukumaran) the first time I was awestruck by you was in #meeshamadhavan where you also played a cop. But in #Kurup you’re a different man. You give our young team gravitas.
@shinetom_chacko (Shine Tom Chacko) the first of our schedules started with you. And your incredible portrayal of your character set the tone for the rest of the film.
I’m sure I’m leaving out a lot of people. But you all know who you are and just know we at Wayfarer Films are grateful and we couldn’t have done it without you all.
