Veyilmarangal starring Indrans to have its world premiere at Shanghai International Film Festival

Director Bijukumar Damodaran, popularly known as Dr Biju, is one of the most revered filmmakers in the Malayalam parallel cinema space. Almost all his films have been widely acclaimed, with some of them even garnering international acclaim. His new film ‘Veyilmarangal’ (Trees Under the Sun) starring Indrans in the lead has now been selected in the Golden Goblet competition at the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival.

‘Veyilmarangal’ is apparently the first Malayalam movie in seven years to be selected in the main competition section at Shanghai. The last film to achieve this feat was ‘Akashathinte Niram (Color of Sky), which interestingly was also directed by Biju. ‘Veyilmarangal’ is also the only Indian film to be selected from 3964 film submissions from 112 countries. The festival will be held from June 15-24 and the movie’s world premiere will be attended by Biju, Indrans, producer Baby Mathew Somatheeram and actor Prakash Bare.

Sivakarthikeyan to team up with ‘Aruvi’ fame

Sivakarthikeyan is easily one of the most busiest celebs in Tamil cinema at present. Besides juggling between multiple acting commitments, he is also actively into production these days. His maiden production venture ‘Kanaa’ starring Aishwarya Rajesh and himself in a cameo role was a big hit at the box office. His next ‘Nenjamundu Nermaiyundu Odu Raja’ directed by Karthik Venugopalan is now getting ready to hit screens on June 14.

As per latest reports, Sivakarthikeyan’s next production will be directed by Arun Prabhu Purushothaman of ‘Aruvi’ fame. An official announcement regarding the same is expected to be made very shortly. ‘Aruvi’, which had its theatrical release in 2017, is widely rated as one of the finest Tamil films in recent years.

The movie starring Aditi Balan in the lead won numerous awards at the regional and international level. With his debut film, director Arun Prabhu Purushothaman showed much promise by portraying the life of a rebellious young woman who seeks to expose the consumerist and misogynistic nature of modern civilisation, while also attempting to find meaning during a period of existential crisis. It will be interesting to see what the director comes up with for his next.
