Abrid Shine’s next with Neeta Pillai set in Himachal Pradesh?

Abrid Shine is one filmmaker who silently goes about his job without any fuss whatsoever. As per our sources within the industry, the director is planning his next with a set of newcomers like in his last film, ‘Poomaram’. If reports are to be believed, his new movie will be set in North India. The team will be soon heading to Himachal Pradesh and other parts of the North to start shooting.

Neeta Pillai who played the role of Irene, in ‘Poomaram’ has been retained to play a major role in this upcoming movie. In ‘Poomaram’, her spirited performance as the dynamic chairperson of the rival college had won a lot of appreciation. Nothing much is known about her new film with Abrid Shine or the nature of her character.

The three-film-old Abrid Shine is a much revered filmmaker among the Malayali cinephiles. All his three movies – ‘1983’, ‘Action Hero Biju’ and ‘Poomaram’ – belonged to different themes and had an unique element. While ‘1983’ was a coming-of-age film that revolved around the game of cricket, ‘Action Hero Biju’ followed the everyday life of a righteous police officer. His last outing ‘Poomaram’ chronicles the events that occur during a college youth festival.

We will have to wait and see what the director comes up with in his next film. Stay tuned to this space for more updates.

Prithviraj to head to Jordan for the second schedule of Aadujeevitham

Blessy’s Aadujeevitham starring Prithviraj is a long awaited film. After years of discussion, the movie went on floors last March and the team had shot some important portions in Kerala. Lead actors Amala Paul and Prithviraj were part of the first schedule. But since then, there have not been much updates from the makers which had led to speculations that the project got dropped. However, Prithviraj has dismissed all that and has informed that he will be travelling to Jordan by the end of this month for the next schedule.

Aadujeevitham is based on Benyamin’s award winning novel of the same name, which is about the life of an abused migrant worker in Saudi Arabia. The protagonist Najeeb Mohammed is stranded in the middle of deserts. The lone man undergoes different experiences from seclusion, emotional conflicts and survival struggles. Prithviraj is expected to undergo some physical changes for the movie. The makers had planned to shoot in various schedules through the time span of which the actor will be undergoing multiple physical transformations.

Aadujeevitham has Bollywood cinematographer KU Mohanan and Oscar winner AR Rahman as part of its technical team. The latter, who is making a comeback to Malayalam after 25 long years, has pinned high hopes on the movie. As per the makers, the movie will hit screens only by 2020.
