Arjun Kapoor to remake Jayam Ravi’s Comali in Hindi?

Jayam Ravi’s last release ‘Comali’ was a big hit at the box office. The comedy entertainer directed by debutant Pradeep Ranganathan is now getting a Hindi version. Leading Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor has acquired the remake rights and his son Ajrun Kapoor will be starring in the Hindi version. More details regarding who will be directing the film and when shoot starts are expected to be announced soon.

‘Comali’ is a quirky fun flick that revolves around a person who recovers one sudden day after being in comatose for nine years. How he finds it difficult to cope up with the changes in the society makes way for several hilarious moments. It will be interesting to see how the makers of the Hindi version adapt it to make it appealing for the native audience.

In ‘Comali’, Jayam Ravi appeared in multiple looks, one of which was a school boy, for which he had shed over 10 kilos of body weight. Kajal Agarwal and Samyuktha Hegde played the two female leads in the film. Upon release in August, ‘Comali’ emerged as a huge success in all the centres. It is the second biggest hit in Jayam Ravi’s career after ‘Thani Oruvan’. After starring in several remake films, Jayam Ravi’s films are now getting remade in other languages, which proves a point about his growth as a bankable actor.

Marakkar is not a film for the intellectuals, it is made for the common audience: Priyadarshan

Last day, a grand six-film event was organized by Mohanlal’s Aashirvad Cinemas at the Gokulam Park Hotel in Kochi. The success celebration of ‘Odiyan’, ‘Lucifer’ and ‘Ittymaani Made In China’, along with the teaser launch of ‘Marakkar Arabikadalinte Simham’ and the formal launch of ‘Barroz’ and ‘Empuraan’ were all held together at one stage.

Representing the ‘Marakkar’ team, ace filmmaker Priyadarshan attended the event and spoke about the challenges in making such an epic film and how it is shaping up now. Though the movie was shot on floors only for three months, it has been in the post-production for nearly seven months now and still works are only half way. Such is the scale of the project that it requires almost a year to complete the VFX and CG works.

According to Priyadarshan, ‘Marakkar’ is neither a completely realistic film nor a historical film. Instead, it is a mix of both; more like the director’s interpretation of some historical events. At the event, Priyadarshan made it clear that ‘Marakkar’ is not a film for the intellectuals of Kerala, it is for Mohanlal fans and the common audience. The veteran filmmaker’s comment comes at a point when his films are subjected to political auditing and nitpicking at social media platforms.

‘Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham’ is based on the life of Kunjali Marakkar IV. Kunjali Marakkar was the title given to the naval chief of Zamorin of Calicut in the 16th century, whose duty was to protect the coast against the invading Portuguese army. Mohanlal plays the lead role of Kunjali Marakkar IV, while his son Pranav plays the younger part.

The cast also includes several other big stars from across the country. Suniel Shetty, Arjun Sarja, Keerthy Suresh, Ashok Selvan, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Prabhu, Mukesh, Suhasini Maniratnam, Fazil, Siddique, Manju Warrier, Baburaj, Nedumudi Venu, Hareesh Perady, Nandu, Innocent, Ganesh Kumar, Suresh Kumar and many others are part of the film.

‘Marakkar Arabikadalinte Simham’ is said to be made on a budget of over Rs 100 crores. Aashirvad Cinemas, Confident Group and Moonshot Entertainment are jointly producing the film.

As we already know, ‘Empuraan’ is the second part of ‘Lucifer’, the highest grossing Malayalam movie ever. Lead actor Mohanlal, writer Murali Gopy, director Prithviraj and producer Antony Perumbavoor official launched the film. While speaking at the event, Murali Gopy spilled beans that ‘Lucifer’ will be a trilogy.

Prithviraj added that the project was originally conceived as a series. Apparently, they were not sure about the success of ‘Lucifer’ hence they didn’t publicize that it will be a trilogy. ‘Empuraan’, the second part will be a mix of a prequel and sequel and shoot will begin by mid 2020.

More details are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
