Mani back to Comedies...

Many will remember that Kalabhavan Mani, who grew to become a big name in the southern film industry, debuted into filmdom playing character and humorous roles.

In many films of the early nineties he was the main comedian sharing the screen space with Jayaram, Mukesh and Dileep.

As the actor rose to fame with independent hits as the sole hero, his films told serious stories placing him as an action hero. The last few films of Mani in Malalyalam carried the same formula from the presentations to the climax.

But now, Mani is planning to think different. His next project as the hero is a humorous story in which he will also have popular comedian Undapakru 'Ajaya Kumar ' in an important role. The film is titled as Big John, Little John.

Navivedyam will be an Onam Treat!!

Director Lohithadas has decided to shift the releasing dates of his new movie Naivedhyam to Onam.

The film which presents a bunch of newcomers, tells a more realistic love story in the scripts of the director.

Lohithadas is said to have found an actress for playing the central character of the film who equals in talents with the likes of Manju Warrier, who was another Lohithadas find.

The movie presents Vinoo Anand, grandson of famous actor Kottarakkara as the hero. The film has also invited media interests for the sets of the temple, constructed by Prasanth Madhav for the important sequences of the film.

Mohanlal says The new Sholay is different..

Mohanlal, who is presently at Kozhikode, engaged with his onam release Ali Bhai is also keen on the results of his second Hindi outing, the new Sholay by Ram Gopal Varma. The film which was recently renamed as Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag will also hit the release centres during the Onam season in Kerala.

As every Malayalam moviegoers are very much interested to know, how their hero has performed in the role originally done by Sanjeev Kumar, Lal is trying to keep a low profile of the role.

"As this film has taken only the basic structure from the original, you cannot compare the characters of this film to those of Sholay. Almost all the characters in the new version carry different names and the plot is planted on the underworld. The name of the character I portray is Narasimha, an encounter specialist, who catches Gabbar Singh at a point in the film. I am not doing it the way Sanjeev Kumar did. I have enacted the role of Narasimha the way I can. Like the name suggests, he is a South Indian with a wife and family”.

Mohanlal also find it a god's grace to share onscreen with the legend Amitabh Bachchan. “My first shot was Amitabh Bachchan chopping my fingers off. I had to scream and I lost my voice the next day because of that. This film is more crude and violent”, remarks Lal on the new venture.

Mohanlal debuted into Hindi with Ram Gopal Varma's Company which was a hit in Bollywood. The actor's performance in the film carried rave reviews and he was acknowledged with many awards.

Now that the new film is destined to get released by the last week of August, all eyes are on to see another mesmerizing performance from the extremely talented actor.
