Mohanlal - Manikandan in Thiagarajan Kumararaja film / Exciting Diwali Clash / Fahadh to retire as cab Driver


 Thiagarajan Kumararaja Director of Aranya Kaandam, Super Deluxe, Modern Love Chennai is said to have narrated a script to Mohanlal and Manikandan and locked them . It might start off in 2025  end or early 2026. His last release was in 2023. Aranya Kaandam  got the Indira Gandhi Award for Best Debut Film of a Director for Kumararaja.


Fahadh Faasil has once again said that after retirement he plans to settle down in Barcelona and be a Uber driver. He wants to drive people across Spain. Not just drive them around . “Absolutely. We were in Barcelona a few months ago. It'll only happen after people are done with me, you know? Jokes apart, just to drive someone from one place to another, witnessing someone's destination—I think that's a beautiful thing. I still do that every time I get a chance. Not just driving, you engage in things you love, be it a game or sport or watching TV,” Fahadh shared, describing the serenity he finds in the simplicity of the idea. He said now to Hollywood Reporter. Interestingly, this isn't the first time the Joji actor has spoken about such a plan. In a 2020 interview with The Indian Express, he had mentioned the same retirement goal, even highlighting that it’s something he has discussed and planned with his actress-wife Nazriya Nazim. “As of now, there is nothing else that I would enjoy doing other than being an Uber driver. I tell my wife that as a retirement plan, I wish to move to Barcelona and drive people across Spain. She loves this plan,” he had said then.

His Tamil film Mareesan with Vadivelu has been released. On the professional front, Fahadh Faasil is far from retirement. The actor is currently busy with a line-up of high-profile projects, including Odum Kuthira Chadum KuthiraDon’t Trouble The TroubleKarate Chandran, and Patriot, among others.


So this poster firstly clears the rumor that the film is getting postponed, and it is in fact a “Dude Diwali Blast”. This means it will clash with Bison and Karrupu.

Back to back Sai Abhyankar Musicals for Diwali. Interesting debut.

Secondly, it confirmed the working crew members of the team, on the left, as well as their already locked massive deal with Netflix.

Now we hear that Karuppu has too signed with Netflix. Two films committed to one OTT platform releasing on same date is usually avoided. Si speculation was that DUDE will get postponed but not so. As far as LIK is concerned ilm will instead, be locking in the February 2026 Valentines Day Date, and will be releasing a glimpse video confirming this on August 1st, like stated at the bottom of the poster of LIK.

Mohanlal Effeminate Act for Jwellery Ad rocks / Kalyani Priyadarshan Onam Bonanza

Mohanlal appearing in an advt for VINSMERA Jewels is talk of the town and add to it that the ad Director is Prakash the baddie of Thodarum. After seeing the advt, I searched for reactions on the net and I copy paste a post by Karthik on X. I found this concise. Personally I had to revisit the advt to see the name of the client that has footed the bill.

A man yearning for his feminine side in a jewellery advertisement? That's precisely what Mohanlal pulls off with ease here! Directed by Prakash Varma (veteran ad film director and the one who recently debuted as an actor/villain the recent Mohanlal starrer Thudarum), the ad's narrative starts with a routine idea - big star is going to act in an ad and walks into the set. When the jewellery goes missing, there are enough signs for you to see what's going on. But not the why. As in, why would a superstar "steal" that? The 'why' is the ad's highlight. This side of Mohanlal is familiar to his fans, from films like Kamaladalam and Vaanaprastham. While we do have men's jewellery (the Men of Platinum campaigns have been showcasing sports stars like MS Dhoni, Suryakumar Yadav, among others) being endorsed by famous men, they don't go into getting those men to demonstrate or showcase their feminine side. They simply use the jewellery within the confines of 'manliness'. And many jewellery brands use male brand ambassadors already - Malabar Gold (including Mohanlal as a brand ambassador!), Jos Alukkas, etc. have used literally the who's who of Indian male film stars already. In this ad though, Mohanlal seems to be transfixed with the jewellery, removed from a female model's neck moments ago, in a way that he not only remembers his feminine side but also embraces it momentarily... till he is interrupted by Prakash Varma. The idea is particularly admirable in these days of the 'Animal' and Manosphere where men seem to forget XY and imagining that they are the non-existent YY. The only other actor who can pull such a thing effortlessly in India is Kamal Haasan. But Mohanlal is adequately versatile enough too, for this idea. While I admire the gender fluidity showcased in the ad, the larger question is this, though: Would women prefer/crave for jewellery if it is shown as being craved by a man (who happens to be Mohanlal, no less)? Or, would they prefer it if they see how it sits on another woman, Source; Karthik on X

In addition to handling her production responsibilities, she is also pursuing her studies at Loyola College in Chennai.

Actor Nani's film HIT 3 directed by Sailesh Kalanu which hit screens on May 1 has found itself in trouble several weeks after its release.

The film is now hitting headlines for alleged copyright infringement. Writer Sonia Vimal has filed a petition in the Madras High Court, claiming that HIT 3 borrows from her unpublished work Agent 11 and Agent V.

HIT 3 Faces Legal Trouble After Madras High Court Issues Legal Notice

While Soniya describes herself as an admirer of Nani, she states that the film's original story was taken from her scripts. She had submitted drafts of her work as part of the legal evidence.

Madras High Court has issued notice on a the writer's plea alleging that the movie starring Nani is an unauthorised adaptation of her story. The notices read “HIT: The Third Case (HIT 3) was an adaptation of her registered script and to permanently restrain the respondents from assigning any further rights of the movie and from committing any further acts of infringement."

Soniya had also asked for rendition of accounts of the profits made by the movie and for payment of damages and compensation at the rate of 20 percent

Soniya had submitted that he had written the original script and had registered it with the South Indian Film Writers' Association on 4th August, 2021. She said that she had sent the synopsis of the original script to Nani on 8th August, 2022, with an intention to collaborate and work with him. However, there was no response.


We had reported how Drishyam 3 will be Mohanlal’s first Rs 300 crore film . Read : https://southfilmy.blogspot.com/2025/06/dhanush-kubera-more-awaited-than-aamir.html .Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is all set to reprise his iconic role as Georgekutty in the much-awaited Drishyam 3. The actor made the official announcement on June 21 via a teaser video shared on Aashirvaad Cinemas’ YouTube channel and his social media platforms.

First look at Georgekutty in Drishyam 3

The 40-second teaser offers a thrilling glimpse of what’s to come. It opens with a close-up of Mohanlal as Georgekutty—calm, intense, and ever-protective of his family. The teaser then cuts to behind-the-scenes footage, showing the actor with the director and producer. As the screen fades to black, text flashes: "Lights, camera, October." The caption of the video reads, "October 2025 — the camera turns back to Georgekutty. The past never stays silent. #Drishyam3."

 


Mammootty-Mohanlal film title Patriot revealed


 iFinally Mammootty- Mohanlal film directed by Mahesh Naryanan title is `Patriot’, This was revealed by Sri Lankan Tourism Board welcoming Mohanlal to the Island Nation for second schedule of the film. Fahadh Faasil, Darshana Rajendran and Kunchacko Boban are taking part in the second  schedule. The first schedule included Mammooty. “South Indian cinema legend Mohanlal has chosen Sri Lanka as the perfect backdrop for his latest Malayalam film Patriot and his second visit to Sri Lanka.  So far 8 schdules has been completed. Mammootty and Mohanlal have worked together in over 55 films . The duo have earlier collaborated on the 2013 release ‘Kadal kadannu oru Mathukutty directed by Renjith.

Reports say that screenplay has been changed to make Kunchacko and Mohanlal role lengthier.

In a now-deleted or quietly overlooked Facebook post, Sri Lanka’s official tourism page appears to have named the project while promoting the country’s rising popularity as a shooting destination. Whether it was a PR slip or a clever bit of viral marketing, fans are all over it — dissecting, decoding, and delighting in the possibility that the title has been revealed before the filmmakers intended.

It was in the 1980s that Mammootty and Mohanlal established themselves in the industry as big stars. Interestingly, here we are talking about an instance when Mohanlal appeared as a character named as Mammootty. It was during the first half of the 1980s that the much loved actor had played a character with the name Mammootty. Yes, we are talking about the 1984 movie Manasariyathe, in which Mohanlal had played a character named Mammootty. The film had featured Nedumudi Venu in the lead role and Mohanlal too, essayed a crucial role in this movie. Mammootty, the character played by Mohanlal in the movie appears only halfway down the movie, but the character has a crucial part in the development of the movie.

Mohanlal has appeared as Mohanlal in a couple of films. In Manu Uncle, the Mammootty starrer, the actor played himself doing a memorable cameo. Similar was the case of the movie Kadal Kadannoru Maathukutty, in which he appeared as himself.

At the same time, he has also portrayed characters named Lal in some of the films. How can we forget the Sarvakalashala, in which he is fondly called as 'Lalettan' by all? Similarly, Mohanlal essayed a character named Lal, in Lal Americayil.

Sivakarthikyan with Siruthai Siva and MohanLal / Shame on Prabhas trends


 Sivakarthikeyan is  to choose Siruthai Siva as director. Along with this SK also has not liked the story told by Venkat Prabhu and told him to make changes. Reason being that VP story has resemblance to Doctor subject. So VP and SK project right now looks bleak as Venkat Prabhu doesn’t want to modify as it would kill the soul of the film. So there are possibilities that the project might get dropped. Sathyajothi Films had backed SK- VP film and now whether they will back Siruthai Siva is not known.

Mohanlal after Jilla in which he played father to Thalapthy Vijay is set to play Dad to Sivakarthikeyan in SK24 directed by CIBI. Actor Sivakarthikeyan is reuniting with Don (2022) director Cibi Chakravarthi and Don co-star SJ Suryah on a new movie, which will reportedly have Rashmika Mandanna playing female lead. While official announcements on the project are yet to be out, it has now been revealed that this film is titled Boss

The official X page of Prabhas’ Salaar  shared a post related to ceasefire announcement, which faced backlash from netizens. the makers of Salaar created an official page for the movie on X before its release, with an ID – @SalaarTheSaga. Fans used to get updates about the film; even today, the page is very active. Yesterday, after the ceasefire was officially announced, one smart post was shared on the page. Salaar is originally titled ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire‘, so the makers shared a small clip of the title card showing ‘Part 1 – Ceasefire’ on the official X page, thus making a statement about the ceasefire agreement with Pakistan. As soon as the post was shared, it received mostly negative reactions from netizens.

Many thought that the makers of Salaar were using the country’s serious issue to promote their movie. One X user directly targeted Prabhas by writing, “Shame on Prabhas.” One user criticised the production house for the post by saying, “Have some shame @hombalefilms. Use common sense at least.”

Another X user commented, “Shameful, insensitive, lack of respect towards the armed forces. Promoting your movie at such times is absolutely pathetic. Prabhas and gang shameful.”

One netizen said, “Wtf yeah koi tumara promotion ka time nahi h !! Come on yr have some sense in your brain.”

This is a mother stepping into the fire—not to fight, but to protect. I do not cry. I do not scream. I stand tall, because I must."

Kushbu commented; My girl is a strong woman.


As Mohanlal’s Thudarum crossed the Rs 100 cr gross domestically, his son Pranav’s upcoming film title has been revealed -Dies Irae.

Dies Irae is a Latin poem from the medieval period that features accentual stress and rhymed verses. It depicts the Last Judgment, where a trumpet calls souls to stand before God’s throne, with the saved receiving salvation and the unsaved being cast into everlasting fire. It is most famously associated with the Roman Rite Catholic Requiem Mass, also known as the Mass for the Dead or Funeral Mass. It's a poem sung for the dead.

The film, which reunites writer-director Rahul Sadasivan with cinematographer Shehnad Jalal (BhoothakalamBramayugam), is backed by Night Shift Studios and Y Not Studios, has music by Christo Xavier, art direction by Jothish Shankar and editing by Shafique Mohammed Ali.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, director Rahul Sadasivan hinted that audiences can expect something distinctly different from his previous work9 Brahmayugam). He explained that the film explores a completely different emotional spectrum, one that resonates with the new generation, and features a fresh narrative style and mood compared to his earlier project.

Meanwhile Thudarum joined the 10M club and became the 2nd Malayalam film to do so. Mohanlal achieves a record-breaking feat at 65, with back-to-back 10M USD milestones. Reports M9.




Malayalee hearthrob Roma is a Diamond merchant / Mohanlal loses to Chiyaan on OTT


 Malayalam film viewers got an answer to where is Roma who acted in NoteBook, Chocholate ?. She was clicked by a fan at the Airport. She is busy looking after the Diamond business and has mines in Karnataka and South Africa. She is still single and full devoted to her family business. When she made her debut, her father owned a jewelry store in Sowcarpet, a suburb in Chennai which is inhabited by Rajasthan natives who mostly do trade in gold and diamonds. Roma’s parents are Sindhi’s but are from Trichy in Tamil Nadu. She made her debut in the Telugu film Mr. Errababu in 2005. Her first film in Malayalam was Notebook (2006), directed by Rosshan Andrrews. Her second film was July 4 (2007), directed by Joshiy. Her third film Chocolate (2007) which she starred alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran was successful. Vellepam was her last film in 2021. The movie, which is a romcom laced with fantasy, has Akshay play Joseman, who is a Jesus Christ lookalike in the film. Noorin Shereef plays the female lead in the film, which also has Roma, Sreejith Ravi and Leona Lishoy.

 L2 Empuran  released with Chiyaan's Veera Dheera Sooran and both came same day on OTT but different platforms. Empuran lost the viewership to Veera and in JioHotstar it is competing with a B grade Hindi film Meri Husband ki Biwi. Read on 

Mohanlal L2 Empuran failed to beat the debut week viewership of Chiyaan Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran, which arrived in the same week.

Veera Dheera Sooran arrived on Prime Video and garnered a viewership of 3.2 million in its debut week. Chiyaan Vikram’s film took second place on the list of the top 5 most viewed films that arrived on OTT this week.

Rated 7 on IMDb, Veera Dheera Sooran stars Chiyaan Vikram along with SJ Suryah. The Tamil period drama earned 42.71 crore in its lifetime in India and ended up being a losing affair at the box office. Meanwhile, Malayalam action biggie L2: Empuraan was also a losing affair despite earning 106.6 crore at the box office!

Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan, after a roaring box office run, has arrived on the JioHotstar and opened with a decent viewership in the first week. In fact, it garnered 57.8% higher views than the Hindi film Mere Husband Ki Biwi, which is also streaming on the same platform.

Mohanlal’s action biggied managed to garner 3 million views in its debut week, taking the third spot in the list of most-watched streaming originals in India for the week of April 28 – May 4, 2025, estimated based on audience research by Ormax.


Oppam Hindi - Saif Ali Khan blind and Kalari expert v/s Akshay Kumar


 

  • Those who have seen Oppam the Malaylam film directed by Priyadarshan should read this. Others will not understand what is being written here. Report based on  Mid-Day states that Saif Ali Khan will be learning Kalaripayattu for his role in the Hindi remake of the Malayalam film "Oppam". He will be taking a two-month break after finishing Rahul Dholakia's movie to attend workshops on how to play a blind man and then travel to Kerala to train in the martial art. The character in the remake is described as a skilled martial artist who is also blind. 
  • We think CVN Kalari in Thiruvanthapuram would be right place for Saif to learn.

Now it seems Priyan in his second innings in Bollywood is going to remake Oppam and of course it is Akshay Kumar and with Saif Ali Khan. Both owe a lot to Priyan as in their earlier career stages , it was he who gave them films. Now you may think that Akshay is doing Mohanlal role and Saif the Samudrakanni role. Saif after declaring that his Adipurush outing was a mistake has decided to correct it by playing Lalettan’s role. Akshay’s film after film as a patriotic guy wants to play Samudrakanni role. Remember Robot 2 0 ? . At first Priyan wanted Samudrakanni itself to act in Hindi but Akshay wanted it.

So you imagine them in the respective roles, Now Saif as blind guy and Akshay as bad guy is fixed. Other regulars of Priyan will fill the other roles. You can let the imagination run riot.

Now the biggest surprise is that Saif is learning Kalaripayattu, Kerala’s martial art. So the blind man is going to use Kalaripayattu to fight bad guys. Oppam’s USP was that Lalettan as blind man and his helplessness in fighting those who want to frame him for murder. But in modern Bollywood, Saif is not going to get any sympathy like Lalettan gets from Mallu audience and so he has to fight his way against his enemies and that includes Akshay.  Imagine physical clash between blind man who is Kalari expert and tough guy. Goosebumps ! Even Saif intro can be in a Kalari class. Finally you wonder if Saif is really blind.



Oppam does not have glam element but can Bollywood go without it. So Priyan would elevate the roles of lady SI and also the caretaker role played by Sona Heiden. Even the role played by Meenakshi of the kid that Lalettan carries on his shoulder could be upgraded to a teen girl and a Loverboy wooing her.

  • Music played a big role in Oppam’s suucess. Wonder who is doing it as Priyan usually brings guys from Chennai to do it and that too in his Chennai studio.  M G Sreekumar song a must.Brinda Master choreography is inevitable. Priyan has always said that no one in Bollywood can match Lalettan. So no comparisons here. Difficult to get even actors  to replace  Chemban Jose. We are in for exciting times. So far Priyan has been good at remakes and wishing him all luck.

After Yaro Yarodi now Jinguchaa- Vaishali rocks / Thudarm Ending and Vijay sethupathi role


 

Marathi singer Vaishali Samant’s recent feat—25 years after singing Yaro yarodi in Ratnam’s much-loved Tamil film, Alaipayuthey (2000), she has reunited with the filmmaker and A R Rahman for a Tamil film again.  She has crooned Jinguchaa for the upcoming movie, Thug Life.   Tamil song credits the singers are Vaishali Samant, Shakthisree Gopalan & Adithya RK.The Hindi version of the song brings fresh vocal firepower to .. Sukhwinder Singh, Ronkini Gupta, Aashima Mahajan, and Vaisha li Samant...
It comes as another hit for Samant after Aaya re toofan from Chhaava earlier this year. She reveals that it was during the recording of the Chhaava number, also composed by Rahman, that the maestro suggested she sing Tamil songs again. Months later, she was in the studio, singing Jinguchaa. To Samant, working with Rahman is like “enrolling into a university.” “Every language carries its own cultural charm. With Jinguchaa, it was a challenge to pronounce the words like a Tamil native. In a day and age where voices come and go, Rahman sir adds the punch that makes a song stand the test of time. I hope we can continue working together for the next 25 years too.”

Thudarum Ending explained l What is Vijay Sethupathi role in it ?

Mohanlal’s character, Shanmughan alias Benz, was a stunt artist, and Vijay Sethupathi’s character, Anbu, was his colleague. Unfortunately, during an accident, in a bid to save Benz, Anbu dies. Shobana’s character, Lalitha, was Anbu’s wife, and together they had a 4-year-old son named Pavi, who eventually grows up and is portrayed by Thomas Mathew.

Following Anbu’s death, Benz marries Lalitha, taking on the role of Pavi’s stepfather. The family chooses to leave Tamil Nadu, since the stunt artists involved in the accident that claimed Anbu’s life were blacklisted. As a farewell gesture, Benz’s employer, the fight master, gifts him a black Ambassador car, which Benz continues to use for his work. Eventually, Benz and Lalitha welcome a daughter into their family.

Decades have passed, and Pavi is now in his college years. He is in love with Mary George, portrayed by Aarsha Chandini Baiju, but her father, George, played by Prakash Varma, is against this relationship.

A minor incident changes Benz’s life forever. The Ambassador was seized during a routine vehicle check conducted by the police for transporting narcotics. Benz wasn’t transporting narcotics; he had given the vehicle to a service center, and the mechanic, while in his custody, transported the narcotics. When Sub Inspector Benny apprehended him in a bid to escape, the mechanic beat him up. As a result, the vehicle was seized and held at the police station, and Benz was informed that the vehicle would only be released once the police got their hands on the mechanic.

One night, Pavi is taken to the police station, where George is the station house officer. There, he and his subordinate, Sub Inspector Benny, portrayed by Binu Pappu, kill Pavi for being in love with George’s daughter and threatening to reveal some of George’s secrets. Afterwards, the dead body is stuffed into Benz’s black Ambassador car.

That same night, after Pavi’s tragic death, Benz visits the police station to ask George to release his vehicle. George agrees and instructs Benny to return the car. However, Benny initially hesitates, as George isn’t aware of the body still being inside. Benny then informs George that the body is still in the car. Later, George decides to hire Benz’s Ambassador as a taxi to attend a colleague’s sister’s pre-marriage party.

Upon arriving at the event location, Benny takes the key to the Ambassador from Benz. After some time, Benz is instructed to drive them to a remote area deep in the jungle. Initially hesitant, Benz reluctantly agrees. During the journey, tension builds between him, George, and Benny. The colleague, whose sister was about to get married the following day, is also present in the vehicle.

As they drive, George reveals a chilling information: there is a dead body in the car, that of a young man who had been involved with the bride. They killed him because he had compromising videos of her.

With no choice but to comply, Benz follows their orders. After disposing of the body, he returns home. When he checks the boot of the car, he finds blood and a wallet. In his panic, as the dog barks, he accidentally throws the wallet into the bushes. Distraught, he forgets about it and cleans the car, trying to return to his normal life.

Benz soon realizes that his son is missing, and an investigation begins, raising suspicions in his mind—especially when he notices his son’s Pulsar bike at the police station. That night, Benz decides to search for the wallet he had thrown into the bushes. When he retrieves it, he is shocked to find that it belongs to his son.

At the same time, a landslide occurs at the location where the body was disposed of. During the rescue operation, the body is discovered by the rescue team. It is quickly identified as Benz’s son.

George and Benny concoct a false story, claiming that Benz was behind the murder. They accuse the siblings of having an incestuous relationship, suggesting that Benz killed his son because of it. To back up their fabricated story, the police violently beat both Lalitha and her daughter in an attempt to force them to confess to these false allegations.

Meanwhile, Benz kidnaps the police officer who was present when he, George, and Benny disposed of the body. The officer claims he had no knowledge of the murder and was only asked to guide them through the jungle. Benz is eventually captured by the police, but George, with the help of Benny and officers from the armed reserve camp, plans to have Benz killed. The plot fails, and Benz manages to kill Benny and escape from the police.

As George persistently torments Benz’s family in an attempt to capture him, Benz reaches out to George. He tells George to come to his house, where his daughter, Mary, is home alone. When they meet, a struggle ensues, resulting in Benz killing George. Mary witnesses the entire ordeal.

Later, Mary visits Lalitha and her daughter during Pavi’s funeral. As the story reaches its conclusion, Benz is shown being escorted to court in handcuffs. Outside the courthouse, Mary stands with Benz’s family, fulfilling the promise Pavi made earlier, Mary is now considered part of Benz’s family. A reporter approaches Benz, asking if he killed his son. Benz answers truthfully.
