Rajamouli apologised publicly and Sridevi gladly let it go. The actress was quoted saying ”I don’t hold grudges. What is in the past, is in the past…” in a DC interview.

Mohanlal gave a stellar performance in his recent film ‘Jantha Garage’ with south actor Junior NTR while Sridevi was last seen in her own film ‘Mom’. If this rumour is true, the actors will be working together for the first time on screen.

The movie is yet to be titled and is due sometime next year. The movie is rumoured to be nothing like his previous ones and will be a fantasy drama based on real life situations. There are no confirmations of this yet. We can’t wait to see SS Rajamouli’s magic on the big screen once again.

‘Baahubali 2’ is all set for a huge China release later this year and is expected to be huge.

Mohanlal Out, Kamal Haasan In Gadha

Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan has reportedly replaced Mohanlal in a film rejected by the latter due to some undisclosed issues. The film is to be directed by Shaji Karun and is titled ‘Gadha’. Apparently, Mohanlal rejected the film due to some financial issues, as the filmmakers were asking him to compensate on the remuneration. As the actor did not want to make any compromises, he backed out of the film.

After this, director Shaji had stated that there were some problems with the film’s casting. ‘Gadha’ was apparently on the verge of being shelved as Shaji was ready to move on to his next project. This is when Kamal Haasan came across the film’s script and immediately liked the story. The actor enthusiastically expressed his desire to be a part of the film, and thus ‘Gadha’ is back on track with him in the lead role now. The film is bilingual, set to be made in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.

Well, it certainly looks like Kamal Haasan has become a savior for Shaji Karun and his ‘Gadha’ team who were facing a setback after Mohanlal backing out from the project. The Malayalam star cannot be blamed for it either as he has his hands tied with not one, but about 4 to 5 film projects set to happen back to back. Haasan is also currently gearing up for the release of his much awaited action flick ‘Thoongavanam’.

No further details about ‘Gadha’ have been revealed yet. After seeing Kamal Haasan’s excitement for the film’s script, we’re certainly waiting to get more details as to what the film is all about. The actor had recently starred in the remake of Malayalam hit ‘Drishyam’ starring Mohanlal himself. Looks like a trend here between Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal, no?

Kanal Official Trailer: Mohanlal Teams Up With Atul Kulkarni

Malayalam star Mohanlal’s upcoming film ‘Kanal’ is out with its first official trailer, in which we saw glimpses of Bollywood star Atul Kulkarni. The small trailer gives us a gist of the different characters involved in the film, and hints us towards the mysterious role of Mohanlal. From what we see in the trailer, it looks like the actor has a secret identity behind his character in the film that no one knows about. Is Mohanlal a psycho in the film? Only time will tell.

‘Kanal‘ is the story of two South Indian families who hail from Kerala, but have spent quite a long time in the Middle East. The film’s shoot was apparently completed in the Middle Eastern country of Doha, where quite a lot of people from Kerala live. The story mainly revolves around Mohanlal, Anoop Menon, Honey Rose and Nikita Thukral. Atul Kulkarni seems to have a love triangle with actress Honey Rose, who is Lal’s wife.

Director M. Padmakumar had earlier revealed that the film’s story unfolds during a train journey. Two unknown people meet in the train and how this journey changes their lives forms the plot of ‘Kanal’. He had also revealed that the film will see actor Mohanlal in two to four different stages of his life, and thus his looks in the film will also gradually change.

The part in the trailer where Mohanlal and Anoop are having a deep conversation, and Mohanlal suddenly asks him if he ever felt like killing his wife, is something that makes us think he might have a darker side to his role. The actor then offers to kill Anoop’s wife for him, but smiles and laughs it off like it was meant to be a joke. Creepy!

The film will also see Pratap Pothen and veteran actor Innocent. Produced by Abraham Mathew, ‘Kanal’ has been penned by Suresh Babu. The film is all set to release on October 22, 2015. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think, do you like this thriller movie?

TheGrand Masti actress can be seen in a hot sizzling avatar as a club performer singing and dancing to the tune of song Meharuba from Mohanlal’s recently released film Lailaa O Lailaa.

Although the song is from a Malayalam film, Meharuba is a Hindi track with soulful Jazz music and lyrics that describes the actress’ beauty very well. Dancing to the lovely tune of Meharuba,Kainaat did a pretty good job dazzling the audiences. The video also shows actor Mohanlalentering the club ‘ChaCha’ keeping his eye locked on the actress who is busy entertaining her audience.

The video has quite some vibes like a retro song out of a don related film where a cabaret singer hypnotizes the audience with her soulful voice and impeccable beauty. Kainaat Arora plays the role of ‘Laila’ in the film so we guess she plays a pivotal role taking the title of the film in consideration. Kainaat has appeared in films like Grand Masti, Mankatha and Khatta Meetha.

Lal Jose’s earlier two offers to the actor had gone downhill once due to Mohanlal’s issue with the production banner and the other due to his personal lack of confidence in the filmmaker’s credibility.

Lal Jose is currently enjoying an apex position in his career as a filmmaker having given back-to-back hits in the past few years. The director who is known for his peculiarity in films is riding high on the success of his recently released flick Nee-Na starring Ann Augustine and Deepthi Sathi in lead roles. He will soon start filming his next film starring industry’s finest actor Nivin Pauly.

The 54-year-old superstar Mohanlal has been on the run with numerous projects and reports suggest that he will soon be taking a short break. The Drishyam hit maker who was recently in Mumbai is planning on taking a vacation to Japan with his family after his visit to the holy temple Sabarimala.

Mohanlal To Play Espionage Accused ISRO Scientist Nambi Narayanan

Malayalam star Mohanlal and Professor Nambi Narayanan.

He was the star-scientist at the Indian Space Research Space Organization (ISRO) at Thiruvnanthpuram. And then it all went poof!

In 1994 Nambi Narayanan, to whom goes the credit for introducing the liquid-fuel rocket technology in India, was charged with leaking defence secrets to foreign countries.

A charge that the distinguished scientist fought valiantly and won. Now the retired scientist is exonerated of all guilt. But at what cost!

Director Ananth Narayan Mahadevan who has completed two outstanding bio-pics about unsung heroes Sindhutai Sapkal and Gour Hari Prasad, is all set to tell the tale of the trauma and agony of a national hero who fell from grace, fought back and redeemed his tarnished reputation.

Last week the Kerala High Court awarded Rs 10 lakhs as compensation to Prof. Narayanan, a decision the aggrieved scientist applauded. But he also added that no money can bring back his tarnished image.

Three weeks ago Mahadevan secretly flew down to Trivandrum to spend four days with Nambi Narayanan. The director has returned laden with 8 hours of recorded interviews with the exiled scientist.

Impressed immensely, Mahadevan says, “What left a deep impact on me was this amazing genius’ determination to win back his reputation. He did it. He brought his powerful adversaries to their knees. It is a truly inspiring story, and one that I am going to tell. Yes, I’ve spent ample time with Prof Narayanan. I’ve come back with eight hours of recorded conversations that are stunning in their resonances regarding this nation’s penchant for unmaking heroes whimsically.”

Ananth found Nambi Narayanan to be, “a very venerable gentleman and thinker who looks like Sir Richard Attenborough.” Prof. Narayanan has not only agreed to let Mahadevan tell his story he has also consented to be an active part of the filmmaking process.

Says the excited director, “He was at first skeptical and almost dismissive. ‘How can you bring together my life’s stories without making the powers-that-be look compromised?’ I assured him I could do it. He was only convinced after I showed him my two films Red Alert and Sidhubai Sapkal.”

Happily, Malayali legend Mohanlal has agreed to play Nambi Narayanan. “He heard the subject and said he’s on. Now I am getting ready to shoot at some difficult locations,” enthuses the director.

Apparently Ananth Mahadevan is keen to shoot at ISRO where the scientist was disgraced. The Organization has understandably demurred at the director’s request.

The bio-pic entitled ‘The Witch Hunt’ would be shot in Hindi and Malayalam.
