Pranav Mohanlal turns a romantic hero for his next with Arun Gopy!

We were the among to report about Pranav Mohanlal teaming up with director Arun Gopy of ‘Ramaleela’ fame. Tomichan Mulakupadam will be producing the movie under the banner of Mulakupadam Films. As per latest reports, this upcoming movie will be a romantic action flick.

Pranav did not have a love angle in Aadhi but here romance will be a major element and a newcomer will be paired opposite him. Director Arun Gopy’s debut film Ramaleela also did not have a proper romance track. So it will be interesting to see how he handles a romantic subject.

The makers are planning to cast a new face as the female lead through auditions. So, after being impressed with a Parkour performing action hero in Aadhi, fans are very much excited to see Pranav’s new avatar as the romantic hero.

Arun Gopy, who is debuting as a scriptwriter with this movie, is currently busy with the pre-production works. Official announcement with the title and details regarding the full cast and crew is expected to be made very soon. It is reported that the movie will start rolling in Kochi by July.

Oru Mexican Aparatha fame Tom Emmatty’s next is based on legendary actor Jayan!

Tom Emmatty, who made a successful debut last year with the hit film ‘Oru Mexican Aparatha’ is now working a movie based on the life of legendary actor Jayan. The movie titled as ‘Star Celebrating Jayan’ is being made as a tribute to Jayan, the first action hero of Malayalam cinema.

Popular producer Johnny Sagariga is staging a comeback by funding this movie that will have newcomers in the lead roles. The makers have posted a casting call in social medias. Aspirants can mail their details at castingstarjayan@gmail.com

Jayan, one of Malayalam Cinema’s first superstars, amazed the Malayali audience with his charisma, powerful dialogue delivery and his daredevilry stunts. He has acted in several blockbuster movies like Sharapancharam, Angadi, Manyshya Mrugam, Aavesham etc.
Unfortunately, Jayan passed away in 1980 while shooting a risky stunt for the movie Kolilakkam.

Jayan is still remembered by millions of Malayalis all across the globe. Even after three decades of him passing away, mimicry artists imitate him in television shows and programmes. His mannerisms, dialogue delivery and colourful attires are still popular among the Malayali movie lovers. Let’s hope Tom Emmatty’s movie turns out to be a fitting tribute to the legend.

I didn’t care about the story or my role, all I wanted was to act with Prithviraj: Ranam actress Isha Talwar

I didn’t care about the story or my role, all I wanted was to act with Prithviraj: Ranam actress Isha Talwar

After a dream start in 2012 with Vineeth Sreenivasan’s ‘Thattathin Marayathu’, Isha Talwar has not got many meaty roles in Malayalam. Though she has been part of several hit films, her characters did not have enough scope for performance. Looks like she has finally got one in the upcoming movie ‘Ranam’ aka ‘Detroit Crossing’.

Isha is playing a very crucial role in the movie which has Prithviraj in the lead. of Nirmal Sahadev, a former associate of Shyamaprasad and one of the co-writers of Hey Jude, is directing Ranam. Unlike her previous films, where she mostly got to play glam-doll roles, Isha will be seen as a 15-year-old’s mother in Ranam.

Isha should be thanking her stars as the character was initially offered to Mamta Mohandas but she could not do it owing to her busy schedule. Isha plays a middle-aged woman who has a husband who is bored in a marriage and a teenage daughter who is difficult to handle. Her character has several layers and is very prominent in the movie’s storyline.

In a recent interview, Isha she signed the movie not because of the story or her character, but the fact that she could act alongside Prithviraj. The pretty actress is a self-confessed huge fan of Prithviraj.

In the interview to TOI, she is quoted saying, “That moment when the crew said Prithviraj, I said I don’t care what the film or story is about or that I have to play a mom, or just stand in a scene. I really wanted to work with him, and I am glad we could work abroad. We could talk well and I could see how he is a fun person, despite this serious image going on.”

Isha was also bowled over by Prithviraj’s knowledge about cinema. She said “Prithvi eats, breathes and lives cinema and has a thinking mind. I don’t know how much of a life he has beyond cinema, to be honest. He is constantly giving inputs, tweaking dialogues, making the film better.”

Ranam, shot entirely in the US explores the lives of the immigrant community in Detroit, Michigan. Prithviraj plays a Tamil street gang member in the movie, which is inspired by real life incidents. Rahman, Sampath and Ashwin Kumar are also part of the cast.

Mammootty releases the trailer of Prithviraj-Parvathy starrer My Story

Prithviraj’s My Story has been in the making for a while now. Shoot was completed only recently and is now in the post production phase. Last day, Mammootty released the movie’s trailer through his official Facebook page. The makers had informed about the trailer release but they did not reveal who will be unveiling it.

Mammootty releasing the trailer of My Story came as a surprise considering the issues that followed after Parvathy voiced her thoughts about how misogyny was glorified in the megastar’s ‘Kasaba’. Parvathy earned the ire of Mammootty’s fans and they launched a unprecedented attack on her on social medias. The result of which reflected on the first song from My Story, ‘Pathungi Pathungi’, which became the most disliked Malayalam song video ever. Now that Mammootty himself has endorsed the movie, let’s hope that fans do not continue their hate campaign against Parvathy.

My Story is directed by debutante Roshni Dinaker. Actor/writer Shankar Ramakrishnan has scripted this movie as a feel good love story set in two time periods – in 1995 and today. The supporting cast includes Manoj K Jayan, Ganesh Venkatraman, Maniyanpilla Raju, Nandu and Sanju Sivaram among others.

Dudley and Vinod Perumal have cranked the camera, and Shaan Rahman is handling the music department in My Story. The movie is being produced by director Roshni Dinaker and OV Dinaker under the banner of Roshni Dinaker Productions.
