Directed by the ace Shankar, 2.0 has two of Indian cinema’s biggest superstars – Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar – coming together for the first time. After the initial shows, the movie has opened to unanimously positive reviews. Even those who were skeptical about the film after its trailer and promos, have changed their opinion and are busy heaping praise on this visual spectacle.

Director Shankar’s love for Kerala and its actors is well known as most of his films have had a Malayali presence. Vineeth in ‘Gentleman’, Nedumudi Venu in ‘Anniyan’ ‘Indian’, Cochin Haneefa in ‘Mudhalvan’, ‘Enthiran’ and ‘Anniyan’, Kalabhavan Mani in ‘Enthiran’ and ‘Anniyan’ and Suresh Gopi in ‘I’ are a few examples. 2.0 also has a Malayali presence in Kalabhavan Shajohn. The actor was chosen by Shankar after being impressed by his performance in ‘Drishyam’. Shajon plays the Telecom Minister’s role in the film. Though it is a brief role, the actor’s performance made it memorable.

Last day, Shajon shared a couple of photos taken with Akshay Kumar and Shankar from the movie’s sets. He also thanked the audience for accepting the movie and his character. The actor is expected to bag more meaty in roles in Tamil in the future.

It’s Fahadh Faasil versus Tovino Thomas this Christmas!

The Christmas season is closing in and several films are getting ready to cash in on the holiday period. Tovino’s ‘Ente Ummante Peru’ and Fahadh Faasil’s ‘Njan Prakashan’ have already been confirmed as Christmas release. Both Tovino and Fahadh are fresh from the success of their last release – ‘Oru Kupprasidha Payyan’ and ‘Varathan’, respectively. Needless to say, we have got an exciting box office clash on cards.

Tovino has pinned high hopes on ‘Ente Ummante Peru’. The actor assures that the movie will be a fun filled family entertainer. Directed by debutant Jose Sebastian, the movie has Tovino and veteran actress Urvasi in the leads. As the title suggests, the movie tells an endearing story of a mother-son relationship. Newcomer Saipriya plays the female lead. Shanthi Krishna, Dileesh Pothan, Hareesh Kanaran, Siddique and Mammukoya are also part of the supporting cast.

On the other hand, ‘Njan Prakashan’ is special for many reasons. The movie marks Fahadh’s second outing with director Sathyan Anthikad after the successful ‘Oru Indian Pranayakadha’. The writer-director duo of Sreenivasan and Sathyan Anthikad, known for delivering several hit films, are reuniting after a 16-year-long gap with this movie. Recently, the makers had released a teaser which got phenomenal response from the viewers.

The fact that both ‘Njan Prakashan’ and ‘Ente Ummante Peru’ are fun entertainers capable of pulling the family audience makes the clash even more interesting. The exact release dates will be announced only after the censor board clearance.

Viswasam: Here’s a new still featuring Ajith and Nayanthara

Thala Ajith’s Viswasam is gearing up for a grand Pongal release, coming January. The movie touted to be a rural mass entertainer has marks Ajith’s fourth outing with Siva after Veeram, Vedhalam and Vivegam. While Veeram and Vedhalam were regular mass entertainers, Vivegam was an ambitious attempt in making a spy-thriller. The movie made on a lavish budget with a big star cast failed to impress the audience and bombed at the box office. With Viswasam, the duo is back with a typical rural mass entertainer.
