Here’s the first look of Nayanthara’s Kolamaavu Kokila aka Co Co

Nayanthara is busy as ever with a slew of projects in her kitty. The first look poster of her upcoming movie Kolamaavu Kokila aka Co Co was released last day through social medias. Nayanthara alone features in this intriguing first look poster. The movie marks the directorial debut of Nelson Dilipkumar, who was the creative director of the Bigg Boss Tamil show. He had earlier made a movie titled Vettai Mannan with Simbu, Hansika and Jai in the lead roles but it got shelved due to some unknown reasons.

Kolamaavu Kokila aka Co Co is a heroine-centric film with Nayanthara playing the titular role. Saranya Ponvannan, Yogi Babu, Jacqueline and Nisha will be seen in supporting roles in this movie, touted to be an quirky comedy drama. Young sensation Anirudh Ravichander is handling the music department. Lyca Productions, one of the most leading banners in Kollywood, is funding this movie.

Nayanthara also has Ajay Gnanamuthu’s Imaikka Nodigal, Chakri Toleti’s Kolaiyudhir Kaalam, Ajith’s Viswasam, Nivin Pauly’s Love Action Drama and Sarjun’s untitled horror flick coming up this year.

Dileesh Pothan’s next is with Megastar Mammootty!!

Dileesh Pothan is now an indispensable part of the Malayalam film industry. He has directed two outstanding movies – Maheshinte Prathikaram and Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum – while also playing supporting roles in numerous movies. Though Pothan is just two-film-old, he is a much revered filmmaker and his movies are widely discussed in social media platforms.

Ever since the release of Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, the director has constantly been asked about his next movie; but he has remained tight-lipped all this while. We now hear that Pothan is planning to direct Megastar Mammootty in his next movie. Another interesting thing about this movie is that actor Suraj Venjaramoodu will be scripting it jointly with Syam Pushkaran.

Suraj has worked with Mammootty in numerous films and they both share a great rapport. In fact, Suraj first came to limelight by helping Mammootty with the Trivandrum dialect in the movie Rajamanikyam. Suraj also played one of the leads in Dileesh Pothan’s Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, so he surely knows the director’s working style. It will be really interesting to see what Suraj, Pothan and Syam Pushkaran have in store for Mammootty. We are still waiting for an official confirmation.

Meanwhile, Dileesh Pothan and Syam Pushkaran along with Fahadh Faasil are starting a new production company. Their maiden venture, ‘Kumbalangi Nights’ is being scripted by Syam Pushkaran and will be directed by Madhu C Narayanan, a former associate of Dileesh and Aashiq Abu. The movie is expected to start rolling very soon.

Official: Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar on board for Thalapathy 62

Shoot for Vijay’s upcoming movie with AR Murugadoss, tentatively titled Thalapathy 62, is currently progressing in Chennai. The movie marks the comeback of Sun Pictures to production after a long gap. Keerthy Suresh plays the female lead in the movie which has its music composed by AR Rahman.

Sun Pictures, through their Twitter handle, have made a breaking announcement today. Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar has been signed to play a crucial role. This announcement is a pleasant gift for the actress who is celebrating her birthday today.

Varalaxmi is well known for her bold roles in movies like Tharai Thappattai, Vikram Vedha, Nibunan, Sathya etc. Unlike other heroines, Varalaxmi has done many grey shaded and negative roles that offer her scope for performance. It remains to be seen if she plays a similar role in Thalapathy 62 as well.

AR Murugadoss has scripted the movie for which dialogues are penned by Jeyamohan, the co-writer of 2.0. Vijay is said to be playing a millionaire’s role in the movie. It is probably the first time that Vijay is playing such a character as he is mostly offered roles that are easily relatable to the commoners.

‘Vikram Vedha’ Prem, Radha Ravi, politician Pala Karuppiah and Yogi Babu have already been confirmed as part of the cast. The technical crew includes cinematographer Girish Gangadharan and editor Sreekar Prasad. Title and first look will be revealed officially very soon.

Arjun Reddy remake: Check out Dhruv Vikram’s look for Varma!

Shoot for Arjun Reddy’s Tamil remake ‘Varma’ commenced on March 2 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The movie directed by National award winner Bala marks the acting debut of Chiyaan Vikram’s son Dhruv. Varma is also the maiden Tamil production of Mollywood’s leading banner E4 Entertainment.

Vikram who is in Nepal with his son revealed the new look of his son via his Instagram account. Similar to Vijay Deverakonda’s getup in Arjun Reddy, Dhruv also sports a bearded look. Everyone is now eager to see if Dhruv can repeat the same with the performance as well.

Arjun Reddy, released last year, was a huge success, both critically and commercially. The movie directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga tells the story of an impulsive medical surgeon, Arjun Reddy, who falls madly in love with his college junior. Arjun becomes alcoholic post break-up and the rest of the story is about how he redeems himself.

Vijay Deverakonda’s stellar performance in the movie has been rated as one of the finest in Telugu cinema in recent years. So, it will be a big challenge for Dhruv as comparisons are bound to be made with the original. Director Bala is famous for his intense style of filmmaking, with most of his films having a dark and disturbing nature. With Arjun Reddy’s remake, he is expected to showcase an unseen side of his.

Varma’s technical crew includes cinematographer Sukumar and composer Radhan, who composed the music in Arjun Reddy as welll. Dialogues are penned by Raju Murugan, who has directed acclaimed movies like Cuckoo and Joker. The makers are still tight-lipped about the female lead and other supporting cast.
