It has been 10 years since Mollywood’s young superstar Nivin Pauly started his eventful journey in cinema through ‘Malarvadi Arts Club’. Celebrating a decade of his journey the actor has unveiled his two upcoming projects. The interesting part is that the star is collaborating with two debut directors.
Titled as ‘Bismi Special’, this movie is directed by newbie Rajesh Ravi and produced by Sophia Paul’s Weekend Blockbuster.
Aishwarya Lekshmi will be collaborating again with the actor after ‘Njandukalude Naattil Oru Idavela, which was Aishwarya’s debut film in 2017. Nivin Pauly shared the news through his social media.
Congratulating the actor, the makers said, “On this special day, Weekend Blockbusters is happy to announce our 6th production, titled Bismi Special with Nivin Pauly and Aishwarya Lekshmi in the lead, produced by Sophia Paul.”
Rajesh Ravi will be directing from a script he co-wrote with Rahul Ramesh and Sanu Majeed. Sanu Varghese of ‘Android Kunjappan’ fame is on board as director of photography while Shafique Mohammad Ali will handle the editing. Kumbalangi Nights-fame Sushin Shyam will be composing the music.
‘Gangster of Mundanmala’ is Nivin’s third production venture and is directed by newcomer Ronnie Manuel Joseph. The movie is going to be a joint production venture between Pauly Jr Pictures and Ravi Mathew Productions. The rest of the cast is yet to be revealed.
The script of the film is written by Aneesh Rajasekharan and Ronnie Manuel Joseph. Justin Varghese will compose the music for the movie.
Thuramukham with Rajeev Ravi
After collaborating with Geethu Mohandas for ‘Moothoon’, which garnered wide appreciation from the audience and film festival circuit across the world, Nivin Pauly joined with Rajeev Ravi for a period movie, titled, ‘Thuramukham’.
Rajeev Ravi is the director of critically acclaimed movies like ‘Annayum Rasoolum’, ‘Njan Steve Lopez’ and ‘Kammattipadam’. The filmmaker also pens the script for ‘Thuramukham’. The cast of the movie include Biju Menon, Indrajith Sukumaran, Nimisha Sajayan and Arjun Ashokan.
The film’s premise is about the famous protest against the ‘chappa’ system that was practiced in the Cochin harbour during the 1950s. As per the history, the despicable chappa system is a custom where copper coins were thrown to waiting workers which had resulted in police firing and three labourers in Mattancherry succumbed to the injuries.
Nivin said that ‘Thuramukham’ is going to be a totally different film like Moothon and it will be a classic, leaving a mark in Malayalam cinema history.
