It is not often that you see female actors going the extra yard and putting in additional efforts to meet the demands of a character. However, Fara Shibla has chose the road less taken as she put on around 20 kilos for playing the character of Kanthi Sivadasan. In a recent video released by the makers, the actress can be seen talking about her journey from 68 kgs to 85 kgs and later to 63 kgs post the film’s completion.

Previously in Bollywood and Tollywood industries, actors like Aamir Khan, Bhumi Padnekar and Anushka Shetty have gone through such stunning transformations. This is probably the first time in Malayalam that such a female actor, that too a debutante, has gone through such an amazing makeover.

Soubin Shahir to turn a gandharvan for his next with Aashiq Abu

We had recently reported that director Aashiq Abu’s next after ‘Virus’ will have Soubin Shahir in the lead. Unni R is scripting the movie, which according to latest reports deals with a fantasy subject. Apparently, it is a fascinating story of a ‘gandharvan’ who lands in Earth. Soubin will be essaying the gandharvan’s role. ‘Gandharva’ is a mythological creature in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is a name used for distinct heavenly beings.

It must be remembered that legendary filmmaker Padmarajan had helmed a similar fantasy film titled ‘Njan Gandharvan’ back in 1991. The film which was about a girl and her passion for a celestial lover, who is invisible to others, is considered as a cult classic by Malayalam movie lovers.

Fantasy is a genre that has seldom been tried in Malayalam. Despite that, when a solid team like Aashiq Abu, Unni R and Soubin Shahir come together, expectations will be quite high. It is said that this upcoming film will steer clear of the usual stereotypes associated with the gandharva concept and instead shape up as a socially relevant one. More details are expected to be revealed during the official announcement.

Asif Ali to play a 19-year-old in Kunjeldho

Recently on Eid day, it was announced that actor Asif Ali will ne teaming up with Mathukutty for a new movie titled ‘Kunjeldho’. The movie which marks the latter’s directorial debut is produced jointly by Suvin K Varkey and Prashobh Krishna of Little Big Films. Vineeth Sreenivasan is also part of the team as the creative director.

As per reports, ‘Kunjeldho’ is a campus based flick and it will have Asif Ali playing a 19-year-old. Apparently, this is the reason why Dulquer Salmaan, who was earlier supposed to act in the film, opted out. It seems like Dulquer was not confident enough that he can convincingly pull off a teenager’s role. Mathukutty has also scripted the movie, which according to our sources is a fun flick with a campus backdrop. Swaroop Philip will be cranking the camera and music will be handled by Shaan Rahman. Shoot is expected to commence shortly.

Meanwhile, Asif Ali is currently going through a purple patch of sorts as his last few releases, ‘Vijay Superum Pournamiyum’, ‘Uyare’ and ‘Virus’ have all turned out successful. The actor has ‘Underworld’ directed by Arun Kumar Aravind gearing up for release. ‘Parannu Parannu’ with director Sugeeth, ‘Ketyolaan Ente Malakha’ with debutant Nisam Basheer and an untitled film with Rajeev Ravi are Asif’s other upcoming films. ‘Kakshi Amminipilla’, in which he plays an advocate, will be his next to hit screens

Geetu Mohandas is all praise for Lijo Jose Pellissery’s Jallikattu

Maverick filmmaker Lijo Jose Pelissery’s ‘Jallikattu’ is one of the most awaited Malayalam films of the year. The movie which is currently in the post-production phase is expected to hit screens shortly. Recently, Geetu Mohandas and Anurag Kashyap had a special screening of the movie and it seems like they were mighty impressed by Lijo’s work.

Geetu has shared a couple of photos from the screening in her official social media page. Along with that, she has also written,

Lijo is back with his Magic and Madness in #JALLIKATTU. Loved it !

Earlier, actor Indrajith Sukumaran had also said that ‘Jallikattu’ is an outstanding work. Lijo’s last two films – ‘Angamaly Diairies’ and ‘Ee Maa Yau’ got nationwide acclaim. So expectations are naturally on the higher side for ‘Jallikattu’. The movie starring Antony Varghese and Sabumon in major roles is based on S Hareesh’s short story ‘Maoist’. It discusses about the Maoist situation and a person’s right to freedom, from the point of view of two buffaloes.

According to Lijo, ‘Jallikkattu’ is a satire told with lot of humour. Taking the crux out of Hareesh’s short story, they have developed a screenplay which explores the beastly side of man. The director is of the opinion that it is an idea that hasn’t been explored much before in Malayalam.
