When Vysakh visited the sets of Mammootty’s Yatra!

Mammootty is currently in Andhra Pradesh shooting for his new Telugu film, Yatra. The movie directed by Mahi V Raghav is the biopic of former AP Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy. Shoot for the movie is progressing at a brisk pace. Last day, director Vysakh had visited the sets of Yatra for the discussions of his upcoming film, Madura Raja, with Mammootty. The director was stunned by the huge crowd amidst which the shoot was happening. He shared a photo taken from the location in his social media handle and captioned it as,

Had great time …
Met mammookka on YATHRA set at Hyderabad
for Maduraraja discussions.
Amazing crowd…
Around 8000,
Couldn’t capture in my frame..
Real Hero continues his journey… (sic)

Unlike other regular biopics, Yatra is an event based film. It primarily focuses on the time during YSR’s famous three-month-long padayatra in 2003, which was a changing point in his political career. YSR is one of the most popular and revered politicians that the state of Andhra Pradesh has ever seen. He is still regarded as a people’s leader and respected all over. Yatra team is hoping to make the movie as a fitting tribute to the iconic leader.

Apart from Mammootty, the movie also stars Rao Ramesh, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Suhasini Mani Ratnam, Posani Krishna Murali, Vinod Kumar and Sachin Khedekar. Vijay Chilla and Shashi Devi Reddy are jointly producing the movie under their banner of 70MM Entertainments. It is slated for a grand worldwide release on December 21.

@VetriMaaran take a bow please ! So brilliantly staged&directed. No better feeling than listening to the crowds applaud when the ‘written and directed by’ credit comes up on screen. Couldn’t take my eyes off Dhanush who’s brilliant in what comes so easy to him.

Andrea stands tall in a boldly etched character. Beauty and Poise.. Aishwarya Rajesh is magnetic and draws you in playing a foul mouthed young girl. Nice to see a girl giving it to the guys in expletives and speaking her mind!

Confirmed: Mammootty to play a dwarf in his next

Mammootty has done several challenging characters in his three decade long career. After all these years, the veteran still manages to amaze with his performances. Of late, it is quite unfortunate that only very few movies are being made that could bring out the terrific actor in him. Seems like one such project is finally coming up for the megastar.

Mammootty is set to team up with director Sohan Seenulal for a new movie in which he will be playing the role of a dwarf. Sohan made his directorial debut in 2011 with Doubles, also starring Mammootty. The movie was a big failure at the box office. Later, they shared screen space in numerous films. When the actor-director duo team up after an eight year long gap, they will be hoping to correct the mistakes and reap success.

PV Shaji Kumar, a proud recipient of Kendra Sahitya Akademi’s Yuva Award and Kerala Sahitya Akademi’s Geeta Hiranyan Award, is scripting this upcoming movie. He has earlier scripted acclaimed movies like Kanyaka Talkies and Take Off (co-writer). The writer has collaborated with Mammootty previously in Puthan Panam, where he penned the dialogues in Kasargod slang.

An official announcement of Mammootty-Sohan Seenulal project is expected to be made very shortly.

Mikhael and Irupathiyonnam Noottandu to clash at the box office!

Post the floods, Malayalam cinema industry is back steadily on feet with the back to back success of films like Theevandi, Varathan and Kayamkulam Kochunni. We are currently on the last lap and some biggies like Drama, Odiyan and 9 are gearing for release. Early next year, the first big clash will be between Nivin Pauly’s Mikhael and Pranav Mohanlal’s Irupathiyonnam Noottandu. Both the films are slated to hit screens during the Republic Day weekend.

Mikhael directed by Haneef Afeni of ‘The Great Father’ (TGF) fame is a family oriented thriller. The movie has Nivin Pauly playing the role of a doctor for the first time in his career. Unni Mukundan is also there in a prominent role. Recently, the makers had released a stylish teaser, which got great response from the viewers. Expectations are huge for the movie as Haneef Adeni’s earlier two works, ‘TGF’ and ‘Abrahaminte Santhathikal’, which he scripted, were huge hits at the box office. Teaming up with a crowd piller like Nivin, Adeni is expected to continue the winning run.

‘Irupathiyonnaam Noottaandu’ is Pranav Mohanlal’s second film after he made his debut as a lead actor with ‘Aadhi’. ‘Ramaleela’ fame Arun Gopy is directing the movie. Ever since its announcement, the makers have been tight-lipped about the movie’s genre. Talks within the industry is that Pranav plays the role of a surfer in the movie. The makers had recently travelled to Bali island to shoot the surfing portions. India’s leading action choreographer, Peter Hein is handling the stunts.

Both ‘Mikhael’ and ‘Irupathiyonnam Noottandu’ are exciting films that carry a huge burden of expectations. If things go as per plans, next January, we have a mouth watering clash at the box office.
