Shane Nigam in Mohanlal’s Lucifer?

Shane Nigam is widely regarded as one of the most talented among the younger generation of actors in Malayalam cinema. He has showcased his terrific acting skills in films like Kismath, C/O Saira Banu, Parava and more recently in Eeda. Shane belongs to the rare breed of natural or realistic actors. He is effortless while performing emotional scenes, which is generally considered as the toughest thing to do in front of a camera.

However, there were complaints about the actor getting typecast in similar roles. Most of his movies had him playing a depressed youth, but this year promises to be different as he has signed for a handful movies belonging to different genres. Shaji N Karun’s Oolu, Kumbalangi Nights, Devan’s Painkili and Dimel’s Valiya Perunnal are some of his upcoming movies.

If reports are to be believed, Shane Nigam has bagged a crucial role in the highly anticipated ‘Lucifer’. The movie starring Mohanlal marks the directorial debut of actor Prithviraj. Murali Gopy is scripting this movie, which is said to be a thriller. Reportedly, Shane has been roped in to play an important role in the movie. Names like Tovino Thomas and Indrajith are also doing the rounds but an official announcement regarding the cast and crew have not yet been made. Antony Perumbavoor’s Aashirvad Cinemas is funding Lucifer which is slated to go on floors by May this year.

MG Sreekumar confirms Mohanlal-Priyadarshan duo’s Kunjali Marakkar!

Kunjali Marakkar is perhaps the most talked about project in Malayalam film industry in recent years. Two production houses – August Cinema and Moonshot Entertainment – have announced their projects with the two superstars of Malayalam industry, Mammootty and Mohanlal, respectively. While Mammootty’s movie will be directed by Santhosh Sivan, Priyadarshan will be calling the shots for Mohanlal’s movie.

Earlier in the day, Mammootty’s camp announced that their movie will go on floors in July. While there seemed to be no word from the other end, playback singer MG Sreekumar, a very close friend of Mohanlal and Priyadarshan, has come out stating that their version of Kunjali Marakkar will also be commencing shortly.

This is getting very exciting as both the teams have made it clear that they are moving forward with their projects. If things move this way, Malayali cine lovers can enjoy two versions of the same subject. Since both the movies have extraordinarily gifted craftsmen at the helm, a quality output is guaranteed.

Kunjali Marakkar was the title given to the naval chief in the 16th century, to protect the coast against the invading Portuguese army. There were four major Kunjali Marakkars during that era. Mammootty’s film is titled as Kunjali Marakkar IV, so, presumably it is based on the life of the fourth naval chieftain. Reports suggest that Mohanlal’s movie is also based the same chieftain as his story has the most interesting elements.

Ithikara Pakki, the character being played by Mohanlal, was the first legendary Robin Hood of Kerala; he and Kochunni were contemporaries. Though Mohanlal’s is a brief cameo role, the character has great prominence in the movie. His combination scenes with Nivin Pauly will easily be the movie’s major highlight.
