Prithviraj Sukumaran’s new movie Cold Case has started rolling on October 31 in Thiruvananthapuram. The film is being directed by Tanu Balak, and it is expected to be a high voltage crime thriller. The film is scripted by Srinath V Nath.

Prithviraj Sukumaran who has recovered from coronavirus infection is expected to join the shooting of the film next week. The makers of the film have already roped in Aditi Balan to play the role of the female lead in this movie.

Tanu Balak recently revealed that Prithviraj Sukumaran is playing the role of a police officer in this movie. According to the director, Cold Case is a movie that is inspired from real-life incidents that had happened in Thiruvananthapuram.

After the success of movies like Grandmaster and Madambi, Mohanlal and B Unnikrishnan are again joining hands for a new movie which is expected to be a high-voltage mass masala entertainer. Yesterday, Unnikrishnan and writer Udayakrishna met Mohanlal at the shooting sets of Drishyam, and the trio finalized the project.

Unnikrishnan revealed that this movie will be shot on a grand scale with a lavish budget.

“This movie will have equal importance to comedy, action, and emotions. After Hello, this movie will give Mohanlal the chance to perform pure comedy and I believe, this will turn out to be a real treat to the audiences. The shooting of this movie will commence in November. More details about this film will be unveiled in the coming days,” said Unnikrishnan.

This is for the second time that Unnikrishnan is directing a movie penned by others. Most of the films directed by Unnikrishnan was penned by himself, and the only exception is ‘I Love Me’ which was written by Sethu.

Mohanlal will join the shooting sets of the film soon after completing Drishyam 2, which is being directed by Jeethu Joseph.

On the other hand, Udayakrishna is also busy penning the script for the movie Pulimurugan 2. Even though the scripting is in its earlier stages, recent developments indicate that Mohanlal will once again hunt predator tigers on screen.

An official first look poster of the movie was released by Unni Mukundan himself on his birthday on September 22. In the poster, Unni Mukundan can be seen shirtless, sporting a beard, and he is carrying a revolver in his hand.

This is not the first time that Unni Mukundan is working with Vysakh. The duo has previously worked together in Mallu Singh, which is widely considered the biggest hit in the career of Unni Mukundan. Even though Mallu Singh was a big success, Unni failed to keep up the momentum of his career, and he continuously failed to deliver memorable hits.

Bruce Lee is expected to emerge as a huge turning point in the career of Unni Mukundan, as Vysakh is one such director who clearly knows how to impress audiences. The film will be a high voltage action thriller, and it will have adequate commercial elements to glue the audiences throughout the running time.

Udayakrishna is penning the script for this movie, while Shaji Kumar will crank the camera. Unni Mukundan himself is producing this movie under the banner of Unni Mukundan Films.

The Gulf Indians presents you with the list of five Indian celebrities who were arrested in the past for their alleged involvement in drug rackets.

Sanjay Dutt

Sanjay Dutt is one of the most popular Superstars in India, and he was arrested for alleged drug usage in 1982. Following the arrest, the actor was sentenced to jail for a period of five months. Later, Sunil Dutt, Sanjay’s father sent him to a rehabilitation center in the United States.

The actor was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, and he is currently undergoing treatment at the Kokilaben Hospital.

Fardeen Khan

It was on May 05, 2001, that Fardeen Khan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau for possessing cocaine. The actor was charged under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, but he claimed to have possessed only one gram of cocaine. It should be noted that less than two grams of cocaine is considered a small quantity, and if found guilty, the accused will face only a maximum jail term of six months.

During the hearing, Fardeen admitted that he had consumed drugs six to seven times to combat professional stress. Later, the actor was granted immunity in the case, as he successfully underwent a detoxification process.

Shine Tom Chacko

In 2015, popular Mollywood star Shine Tom Chacko, and four others were arrested for alleged possession of cocaine. After spending 59 days in jail, the actor finally succeeded in getting bail from the Kerala High Court.

Later, Shine Tom Chacko revealed that he has learned from his mistakes, and made it clear that he will be focussing only on his acting career.

Vijay Raaz

Vijay Raaz is considered one of the multi-talented personalities in the Indian film industry. However, the actor’s image among the general public faced a setback when he was arrested at the Dubai airport in 2005 with 25 grams of marijuana. The actor at that time was busy with the shooting of the movie Deewane Huye Paagal.

Mamta Kulkarni

In June 2016, the Thane Police named Mamta Kulkarni as a prime accused in supplying ephedrine for the illicit manufacture of methamphetamine. She was later caught in Kenya for her alleged involvement in the drug racket along with her husband Vicky Goswami.

It was in 2015 that Alphonse Puthren captured the hearts of Indian film lovers with his movie ‘Premam’. The film which starred Nivin Pauly in the lead role was a blockbuster at the Mollywood box-office, and it even collected a decent sum of money from theaters outside Kerala. However, after Premam, Alphonse Puthren took a hiatus of five years from the industry, and audiences were quite disappointed with this.

But now, Alphonse has announced his next movie titled ‘Paattu’. The director himself confirmed the news on his Facebook page, and the news is now receiving positive responses from audiences who are eagerly waiting to see Alphonse’s magic once again on screen.

“My next feature film’s name is Paattu (song). Fahadh Faasil is the hero of the movie. Produced by UGM Entertainments (Zacharia Thomas and Alwin Antony). This time I’ll be doing music too. It will be in the Malayalam language. Will update the rest of the Crew and Cast members while the feature film progresses,” wrote Alphonse on his Facebook page.

Just like Paattu, Premam was also announced without much hype, and the makers did not even release the trailer of the movie. Before the release of Premam, the makers just released a song featuring Anupama Parameshwaran and Nivin Pauly. The song became a huge hit, and it played a crucial role in drawing audiences to the theaters.

However, when the movie had its release, audiences were surprised to know that the song released before the theatrical premiere was just the beginning of a colourful onscreen festival. With his film-making elegance, Puthren captured a million hearts, and despite piracy issues, Premam ran for more than a hundred days in several theaters.

Expectations surrounding Paattu are already sky-high, as this film marks the union of Puthren and an amazing performer like Fahadh Faasil. Stay tuned with the Gulf Indians for more updates about this flick.

On September 03, at around 04.00 PM, director VA Shrikumar announced on his Facebook page that his next movie titled ‘Mission Konkan’ will be based on the valor of Mappila Khalasis. The director also revealed that his film will be a mega-budget outing, and it will be made in several Indian languages.

Interestingly, at 06.00 PM, Janapriya Nayakan Dileep announced his next film, and the name of this movie is ‘Khalasi’. It should be noted that this movie will be also portraying the bravery of Khalasis and their patriotism.

As both Dileep and VA Shrikumar have announced different movies on the same subject, industry experts believe that these films will run into controversies in the coming days. Dileep and Shrikumar are also considered arch-rivals in the industry for several professional and personal reasons, and their race to make different movies on the same theme will surely open scope for debate.

‘Mission Konkan’ is produced by Shrikumar himself in the banner of Earth and Air Films. In his recent press release, VA Shrikumar revealed that several Hollywood technicians will be working in his film. The film will also have several top names from Bollywood, Mollywood, Kollywood, and Tollywood in the lead roles.

On the other hand, Dileep’s Khalasi will be directed by Mithilaj Abdul, the program director of Comedy Utsavam, a show that is being aired in Flowers TV.

It is a Friday that will decide the fate of every movie. However, some movies, even if made with impeccable quality and all the elements needed to impress audiences will fail to make it big at the box-office.

The Gulf Indians presents you with the list of five Mollywood movies that surprisingly flopped at the box-office, and later became classics.

Azhakiya Ravanan

Azhakiya Ravanan is a real gem of a film, that follows the life of Shankar Das (Mammootty), a billionaire who tries hard to reclaim his lost love. From classic comedy sequences to heart touching emotional moments, the film has all the ingredients to satisfy audiences. However, upon its release, the film bombed at the box-office, but the songs became chartbusters.

Mammootty, in several interviews, had revealed that no other failures have made him as sad as the failure of this movie at the box-office.

Later, when the film had its television screening, it was well-received by audiences. The comedy scenes featuring Sreenivasan and Mammootty are considered the epitome of natural humor, and television channels still used to screen the movie in prime time, considering the acceptance of viewers.

Mithunam

Yes, you heard it right. Mohanlal’s evergreen family drama Mithunam was not a super hit at the box-office. Even though the film had all the elements needed to impress audiences, the film failed to make it big at the box-office.

Years later, television gained popularity, and the film successfully achieved cult status among family audiences. Directed by Priyadarshan, this film featured Urvashi playing the role of Mohanlal’s wife, and it narrated the story of a struggling small scale businessman. The film is loaded with several natural humor-filled scenes, and by the end, it also gives a powerful message.

Guppy

Guppy released in 2016 was a masterpiece from director Johnpaul George. However, the film bombed at the box-office, despite receiving positive reviews from all corners.

In 2016, Tovino Thomas was not a highly popular name among Mollywood audiences, and it is considered one of the major reasons behind the film’s bad run at theaters. However, upon the release of its DVD, the film became a hot pick among young audiences in the state.

Chandrolsavam

At the time of Chandrolsavam’s release, Mohanlal was continously doing mass characters, and audiences expected the same from this film, penned and directed by Ranjith. However, the film narrated a touching love story, and due to this single factor, this classic movie emerged as a box-office flop.

Later, upon the release of its DVD, Chandrolsavam gained a classic status, and the dialogues penned by Ranjith is still considered evergreen by many.

Thoovanathumbikal

Surprised to see Thoovanathumbikal in this list? But you should know that this touching love story of Jayakrishnan and Clara was a box-office bomb, as this film was much ahead of its time.

Now, every monsoon reminds us of Clara, but in 1987, audiences turned their face against this movie, as they believed that a love story between a call girl and a farmer was so weird, and against the pseudo morality of Keralites.

After days of anxious wait, the makers of Minnal Murali have released the official teaser of this flick on August 31, 2020. Interestingly, the teaser of Minnal Murali was released just a few hours after the premiere of Tovino’s ‘Kilometers and Kilometers’.

In the initial moments of the teaser, the director introduces the character of Minnal Murali. The initial scenes reveal that Minnal Murali is a masked man, who is also performing some heist activities.

Later, Tovino Thomas graces the screen in style, and he looks absolutely charismatic. With a clean shaved look, Tovino literally resembled the boy-next-door, and in all probabilities, the character of Minnal Murai will elevate his stardom in Mollywood.

In the final moments of the teaser, audiences come to know that Minnal Murali is not an ordinary man, and he possesses some special skills, which make him a desi superhero.

Basil Joseph, who has previously helmed movies like Kunjiramayanam and Godha is directing Minnal Murali. The director is a master in crafting commercial entertainers, and audiences expect the same from Minnal Murali as well.

Sophia Paul who has previously bankrolled for films like Bangalore Days and Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol is producing Minnal Murali, in the banner of Weekend Blockbusters. An official announcement regarding the release date of this movie will be unveiled in the coming days.

Malayalam film industry is considered one of the most impeccable film fraternities in India, as Mollywood has produced some of the most realistic films that stay very close to human lives. Even in the flow of realistic films, the industry also has its fair share of thrillers.

The Gulf Indians presents you with the list of five top-rated Mollywood thrillers every film buff should watch.

Kariyilakkattu Pole

Padmarajan’s Kariyilakkattu Pole is one of the masterpiece thrillers ever made in Malayalam. The film stars Mohanlal, Mammootty, Rahman, Sripriya and Karthika in the lead roles.

Drishyam

Jeethu Joseph’s Drishyam that featured Mohanlal in the lead role narrates the story of a murder coverup. The film has ample moments of thrills, and director Jeethu deserves a special round of applause for his uncompromising cinematic language.

The film, upon its release in 2013, emerged as a huge hit, and became the first Mollywood movie to enter the 50 crore club. The shooting of Drishyam 2, a sequel to this film is expected to start rolling soon.

The CBI franchise

In 2004, a third part of the movie titled Sethuramaiyyar CBI hit the screens, which also turned out to be a blockbuster. Nerariyaan CBI, the fourth part of this movie was released in 2005. However, this film emerged as an average grosser at the box-office.

Mammootty did the lead role in all the four CBI movies. K Madhu directed all these flicks, and he is apparently busy with the pre-production works of the next movie in the franchise.

Memories

Memories is a perfect emotional thriller that depicted the life of an alcoholic police officer who faced a tragedy during his career. Things take an unexpected turn in his life when he is given the charge to investigate a serial murder case.

Prithviraj Sukumaran played the lead role in this movie. Upon release, the film garnered positive reviews, and audiences praised Prithviraj for portraying the role of the drunkard investigation officer with perfection.

Mumbai Police

Mumbai Police is perhaps the best thriller film ever made in Mollywood. This film too has Prithviraj in the lead role, and he portrayed the role of Antony Moses, a police officer who loses his memory following an accident.

Even after memory loss, Moses continues his investigation on a particular case and finally succeeds in finding the culprit. The major highlight of Mumbai Police is its spectacular climax which will leave the audiences shell-shocked.

After completing his quarantine, Mohanlal has recently joined the Asianet studio to participate in a program named ‘Laalonnam Nallonam’ which will be aired in the channel during the Onam days. Now, some of the stills from the program have leaked online, and it shows Mohanlal in a bearded avatar.

Some social media users even went ahead and claimed that Mohanlal’s new look is very similar to the iconic Rubeus Hagrid who often appears in Harry Potter films.

As some trolls from netizens crossed all boundaries of obscenity, Mohanlal fans have started defending the actor stating that he has been a victim of body shaming from the initial days of his career. These fans also made it clear that the performance of an actor matters the most, and the physical look has nothing to do with class and mettle.

This is not the first time that Mohanlal is getting trolled on social media platforms for seemingly silly reasons. Citing his body language, several social media users from pages like ‘FFC’ used to degrade him very badly, and at times, these trolls used to cross all the limits of decency.

Mohanlal will soon join the shooting of ‘Drishyam 2’ which will be directed by Jeethu Joseph. The film is a sequel to 2013 blockbuster Drishyam. In this upcoming movie, Mohanlal will once again play the role of Georgekutty, a middle-class family man who gets involved in a murder coverup.

Suresh Gopi is widely considered the third biggest Superstar in Mollywood, next to Mammootty and Mohanlal. However, during the late 1990s, Suresh Gopi refrained himself from doing action roles, after several people criticised the star for doing extreme violent roles with firebrand dialogues on screen.

Later, Suresh Gopi did some family-oriented roles, but none of these films succeeded in making impacts at the box-office, and this hit brought compelled Suresh Gopi to take a small hiatus.

In the absence of Suresh Gopi, many action thrillers hit the screens in Mollywood, but none of these flicks made the impact of films such as Commissioner, Pathram, and Lelam. To end this drought of mass entertainers, Renji Panicker announced Bharathchandran IPS, a sequel to the blockbuster Commissioner in 2004.

Renji Panicker made this decision after Suresh Gopi requested him to bring back Bharathchandran, the daredevil cop who questions the injustices in society.

It should be noted that Renji Panicker had initially announced a film named Nari with Mohanlal in the lead role. However, the film was stalled due to unknown reasons. Upon Suresh Gopi’s request, Renji Panicker made some slight changes in the scripts of Nari and made it suitable for the action king.

After months of anxious wait, Bharathchandran IPS hit the screens on August 4, 2005, as an Onam release.
