Here’s the highly anticipated teaser of Suriya’s NGK

As announced earlier, the teaser of Suriya’s NGK has been released today on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. Directed by Selvaraghavan, NGK is a political drama in which Suriya plays the role of an MLA. The teaser introduces with the voice over of his character Nanda Gopala Kumaran.

The teaser is highly intriguing with Suriya showing unique mannerisms and gestures. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s thumping background score also helps in the mass appeal. Director Selvaraghavan enjoys a huge fan following among the Tamil audience and since it is his first film with Suriya, expectations are on the higher side. Fans and common audience alike are eagerly looking forward to the movie.

Anu Sithara paired with Unni Mukundan in Maamaankaam

Shoot for Mammootty’s ambitious period flick, Maamaankaam, is currently progressing at Kannavam forests in Kannur. After the ousting of its original director Sajeev Pillai, M Padmakumar has taken up the project. Following the various controversies, the makers have gone for a complete overhaul in the cast and crew. Unni Mukundan, Kaniha and Anu Sithara were new additions to the cast.

Reportedly, Anu Sithara will be paired with Unni in the film. The role was first offered to her two years back but she could not commit then due to her busy schedule. Now that the opportunity has come once again, she could not let go off it. Anu is excited about bagging a prominent role in such a big project. She has already started shooting for her portions.

‘Maamaankam’ is based on the medieval fair, Maamaankam, where brave warriors from across the country would come together to showcase their skills at combat. Mammootty plays the lead role of a fiery ‘Chaaver’ (warrior) in this movie, which revolves around the life of warriors who plot to defeat the Zamorin rulers. Unni Mukundan is also said to be playing a warrior’s role in the movie. Other details will be revealed shortly.

Venu Kunnappilly is producing ‘Maamaankaam’ under the banner of Kavya Films. The makers are planning to wrap up the shoot quickly and release the movie this year itself.

I’ve three subjects ready for Mohanlal, the film will happen next year: Vinayan

Last day, director Vinayan took everyone by surprise by announcing that he would soon be teaming up with superstar Mohanlal. It must be remembered that the two have always been in opposite sides during the various conflicts within the industry. There was a time when almost the entire industry were against Vinayan and actors faced an unofficial ban for acting in his movies. But all that is a thing of last now, as Vinayan states that artistes should not hold grudges for a lifetime.

Though Vinayan has worked with several big stars like Mammootty, Vikram, Prithviraj and Dileep, the director had not collaborated with Mohanlal till the announcement came last day. Vinayan says that he has three scripts ready for Mohanlal and after a few rounds of discussion, they will soon finalize the project. Since both parties are currently busy with other commitments, their film will only happen in 2010.

Vinayan will soon start works for a sequel to his superhit horror flick, ‘Akashanganga’. Mohanlal on the other hand has multiple projects lined up. He is presently shooting for Priyadarshan’s ‘Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham’. His Tamil film with director KV Anand, also starring Suriya, is also progressing simultaneously.

‘Big Brother’ with director Siddique, ‘Ittymaani Made In China’ with director duo Jibi-Joju and an untitled film with Arun Gopy are Mohanlal’s other projects in the pipeline. His next release will be the Prithviraj directorial ‘Lucifer’, which is scheduled for release by March end.

Lucifer and Oru Yamandan Premakadha to clash at the box office

If reports are to be believed, Malayalam industry is set to witness a huge box office clash this summer. Mohanlal’s highly anticipated film ‘Lucifer’ is already scheduled for release on March 28. Latest reports suggest that Dulquer Salmaan’s ‘Oru Yamandan Premakadha’ is also releasing on the same day. If it happens, it is perhaps the first time the two actors are coming face to face.

Dulquer and Mohanlal are arguably the biggest stars in Malayalam in terms of their crowd pulling capacity. It will be interesting to see who among the two emerges as the winner. ‘Lucifer’ is a political thriller which marks the directorial debut of actor Prithviraj. Mohanlal plays a grey-shaded politician’s role in the movie. The very fact that these two leading stars are coming together for the first time has skyrocketed the expectations. Besides that the movie also boasts of a stellar star cast comprising of Indrajith Sukumaran, Vivek Oberoi, Tovino Thomas and Manju Warrier.

On the other hand, ‘Oru Yamandan Premakadha’ (OYP) is a kind of film that Dulquer has not done so far in his career. Directed by BC Noufal, the movie is touted to be a full-on commercial mass entertainer. The superhit writer duo of Bibin George and Vishnu Unnikrishnan have scripted the movie. ‘OYP’ will be a colourful mass entertainer on the lines of the writer duo’s previous works, ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ and ‘Kattappanayile Rithwik Roshan’. The movie also marks Dulquer’s comeback to his home turf after over a year, so expectations are multifold.

Talks about Mammootty’s Marakkar have not yet settled down. The project was officially announced by August Cinema couple of years back but there have been no further developments.

Buzz is that August Cinema will be associating with Joby George’s Goodwill Entertainment for the production.

Rathish Ambat, a popular ad-filmmaker, made his feature film debut last year with the Dileep starrer ‘Kammarasambhavam’. Though the movie failed to reap the desired results at the box office, it got critical accalim and found a following among the general audience after its DVD release. Rathish’s work was widely appreciated and he was deemed as a promising talent to watch out for.

Recently, Murali Gopy had revealed that his next will be with Rathish. It remains to be seen if the director takes up Marakkar first. Let’s wait for an official word from the makers side.
