Thalapathy 63: Vijay’s next to be a sports-based film?

Amidst huge buzz, the official announcement of actor Vijay’s new film was made last day through social medias. The star is reuniting with his ‘Mersal’ team and AGS Entertainment is producing the movie. After the blockbuster success of ‘Theri’ and ‘Mersal’, director Atlee and Vijay are chasing a hattrick of hits this time. In an official statement released by the makers, it has been made clear that Vijay is attempting a new genre in this film.

In the official statement, AGS Entertainment said: “We are putting together the best global talent to attempt a genre that will be the first of its kind for Thalapathy Vijay.” There is a strong buzz that this new film is a sports-based entertainer and Vijay is said to be essaying the role of a coach. Though Vijay has acted in a sportsman’s role in films like ‘Azhakiya Tamizh Makan’ and ‘Ghilli’, they were not full fledged sports films. It will be exciting to see the actor in a never-before-seen role.

Recently, director Atlee had visited a few colleges in Tamil Nadu to finalize the locations. The makers are yet to announce the cast details but speculations are rife that Nayanthara will be heroine and veteran actor Vivek will also be there in a crucial role. On the technical front, Atlee has retained the core team from ‘Mersal’. Music will be handled by maestro AR Rahman, his third successive film with Vijay after ‘Mersal’ and ‘Sarkar’. DOP GK Vishnu, editor Antony Ruben, lyricist Vivek and stunt choreographer Anal Arasu are on board. Shoot for the movie will be commencing early next year.

Joju George’s ‘Joseph’ all set to hit screens this Friday

As we already know, Joju George is playing the lead in an upcoming movie titled, ‘Joseph’. The movie is gearing up to storm screens this Friday (November 16). The intriguing teaser and songs had caught the attention of social media users. The movie is directed by M Padmakumar, noted for his films like ‘Vargam’, ‘Vasthavam’ and ‘Shikkar’.

Joju George is one of the most reliable supporting actors we have in Malayalam cinema today. Lately, the actor has been doing many performance-oriented roles in movies like ‘Ramante Edanthottam’, ‘Udhaharanam Sujatha’ and ‘Njan Marykutty.’ In ‘Joseph’, he is playing the role of a retired police officer and sports an old man’s look. We can expect another solid performance from him.

‘Joseph’ scripted by Shahi Kabir comes with an interesting tagline, ‘Man with the scar’. From the tagline, we presume that the movie deals with some dark chapters in a police man’s life. Dileesh Pothan, Irshad, Anil Murali, Madhuri, Malavika, Jaffer Idukki, Sudhi Koppa, Idavela Babu and Athmiya are part of the movie’s supporting cast.

Manesh Madhavan, who won the Kerala State award last year for his work in ‘Aeden’, is the DOP while Kiran Das of ‘Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum’ fame handes the edits. Joju himself is producing the movie under his own banner. Besides that he is also donning the singer’s hat. The song, ‘Pandu Paadavarambathiloode’, which he has rendered along with Benedict Shine is already a hit in the cyber space.
