തിലകനോട് വിരോധമോ നിസ്സഹകരണമോ ഇല്ല: മമ്മൂട്ടി [Install malayalam fonts to read this post]

ആലപ്പുഴ: തിലകനുമായി യാതൊരു വിരോധമോ നിസ്സഹകരണമോ ഇല്ലെന്ന് മമ്മൂട്ടി പറഞ്ഞു. ഇനിയും തിലകനോടൊപ്പം അഭിനയിക്കാന്‍ തയ്യാറാണ്. അദ്ദേഹത്തിനെതിരെ യാതൊരു വിലക്കുമില്ല. ഞാന്‍ ഒരിക്കലും മഹാനായ നടനാണെന്ന് പറഞ്ഞുനടന്നിട്ടില്ല. ഒരു നടനെന്ന നിലയില്‍ എനിക്ക് ആത്മവിശ്വാസമുണ്ട്. അതില്ലാത്തവരാണ് താന്‍ ഒരു മഹാനടനാണെന്ന് എപ്പോഴും പറഞ്ഞുനടക്കുന്നത്. എന്നെ

Mammootty's voice has a cultural purity to it: Azhikode

The Malayalam film industry that was literally reeling under the controversy that was raging within, got a breather today morning after Mammootty spoke to the press today for the first time since the Thilakan issue had cropped up.

The megastar of Malayalam films was dignity personified in his statements when he tried to clarify the confusion that is prevailing at the moment.

Sukumar Azhikode, the acclaimed orator who was caught in the midst of the storm, and who was engaged in a verbal tussle with the other megastar of Malayalam films, Mohanlal is all praise for the way in which Mammootty has responded to the issue today.

Azhikode was talking to representatives of the media at Thrissur, when he said that Mammootty's voice has a cultural purity to it. This is the voice of public acceptance. He also said that he believed that Mohanlal and Innocent spoke the way they did forced by the circumstances.

Azhikode also commented that had Mammootty responded earlier, several of these statements could have been left unuttered.

AMMA ready to hold a meeting as and when Thilakan is ready: Mammootty

Megastar Mammootty at the press conference at Muhamma today said that all issues that Thilakan had with AMMA could be solved through discussions.

Thilakan has notified AMMA that it was impossible for him to come for a meeting on the 1st of March. AMMA is therefore ready to conduct the meeting as and when he is ready.

Mammootty said that he believed that some people have led Thilakan to the false belief that AMMA was against him. Thilakan should be with AMMA, as a member of AMMA. He should not stay away from AMMA, Mammootty added.

Mammootty had arrived for the press conference along with Prithviraj from the sets of 'Pokkiri Raja'.

Mammootty finally breaks silence; says a shadow war is on

Megastar Mammootty who had remained silent all this while, despite numerous allegations leveled against him by actor Thilakan, has finally chosen to break his dignified silence.

The actor said today that what was going on was a shadow war. Mammootty was speaking for the first time on the controversy at a press conference at Muhamma.

There are no issues with Thilakan, Mammootty said. If the senior actor was willing, he would have no problems acting with him at all. AMMA would solve all these problems amicably. However there would not be any more public discussions on this issue.

Mammooty also said that he has never claimed that he was a great actor. Only people who are not confident about themselves do that. He doesn't need to do that since he has confidence in himself.

Mammootty seeks end to Thilakan controversy

Breaking his silence on the controversy in the Malayalam film industry surrounding veteran actor Thilakan, actor Mammootty has said the entire episode was pointless and uncalled for. The Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA) did not want the controversy to go on.

Talking to the media on the location of his latest movie, 'Pokkiriraja' at Muhamma near here on Saturday, Mr. Mammootty said AMMA was ending the public discussion and the "media controversy" on the issue and that the differences of opinion would be sorted out within the AMMA. The whole episode was over "absolutely nothing" and part of a "shadow war" by vested interests, he said.

"I have no issues at all with Mr. Thilakan, and there is no question of any non-cooperation with him. Somebody has misled him," Mr. Mammootty said, stating that he was not worried about the reported statements of Mr. Thilakan about him.

"I am ready to act with him, if he is ready to act with me," he said.

"However, a senior artiste like Mr. Thilakan should sort out through talks whatever issues he has within the association, which is a big family. In fact, he should be an elder brother to all of us and guide us when we are wrong. But when he stands away from AMMA and criticises us, that hurts," he said.

Mr. Mammootty also said that statements made by orator-critic Sukumar Azhikode were unwarranted.

"He is a great writer and I have a lot of respect for him. In fact he had very nice words about me when he released a book on me recently. But being a cultural leader in the society, he should stand by truth and justice. His statements on Mohanlal's personal issues are totally baseless and unfair. I have known Mohanlal for the last 30 years and I very well know that the statement is wrong. It is also very upsetting," he said.

On the reported personal attacks by Mr. Azhikode and Mr. Thilakan, Mr. Mammootty said he never went about saying that he was an actor par excellence. He had confidence that he could act and there was no need to go about announcing that. Make-up and playing younger characters were part of cinema, and actors like him and Mr. Mohanlal were not continuing their onscreen persona in real life, he added.

Mammootty and Mohanlal exhort fans to exercise restraint

The megastars of Malayalam films Mammootty and Mohanlal have exhorted their fans to exercise restraint.

This is in wake of the latest events that have unfurled as a result of the controversy that was started by veteran actor Thilakan against the superstars.

A couple of days back much acclaimed orator and writer Sukumar Azhikode had joined the fray in support of Thilakan and had hurled attacks at the superstars.

Following his highly caustic remarks against Mohanlal, fans of the actor had burned his effigy yesterday. Azhikode had retorted with an equal fervor that those who were burning his effigy should take care that their clothes don't catch fire.

Azhikode accuses Mohanlal of snatching away brother's property

Sukumar Azhikode came up with some serious allegations against Mohanlal during his press conference at Kozhikode yesterday, when he alleged that the actor had snatched away his brother's property.

Azhikode said that a senior officer at the Secretariat had told him that Mohanlal had snatched away brother Pyarelal's property from his wife and child. Azhikode said that actors should have atleast a bit of goodness of the characters that they portray on screen. He was ready to withdraw his statement if proved false.

Mohanlal had said that Azhikode has not written a book after 'Thathwamasi'. Azhikode retaliated by saying that this was because it was such an enormous philosophical document. It is impossible to write books continuously, since writing is different from acting.

Azhikode asked if Mohanlal was doing the kind of characters that were befitting his age. He quoted the example of actor Ashok Kumar as one who had aged gracefully. It was futile for an old man to try to be young again. Azhikode added that we would have to see Mohanlal walking like an old man sooner or later.

The orator's comments turned out to be even more caustic and sarcastic when he referred to an ad in which Mohanlal was seen acting with Hema Malini.

He also compared the actor to a donkey carrying saffron, without knowing what the real value of saffron was. Azhikode was referring to Mohanlal's comments on 'Thathwamasi' and he said that Mohanlal was talking about the book without even having a clue as to what the book was all about.

Mohanlal is frantic because of his waning youth: Azhikode

Sukumar Azhikode on Wednesday launched a new array of attacks against Megastar Mohanlal, in retaliation to Mohanlal's interactions with the media personnel the other day.

Azhikode alleged that Mohanlal was repeating what he was saying because of his frantic attempts to regain his fast disappearing youth.

Azhikode said that Mohanlal doesn't have an idea about the nation's culture. Its the belief that he is the prince of showbiz that is leading the star. People will get to see the real star, if he removes his wig, Azhikode added sarcastically.

The orator said that it was not just enough that there was goodness in the characters that the star portrays. There should atleast be an iota of goodness in the heart as well.

"Mohanlal's films will end when he stops acting. However my forty books, that are a reflection of my soul, will stand the tests of time," Azhikode said.

Azhikode also said that Mohanlal should not brand him as one who didn't see films. Because the acceptance that the star has got is the acceptance for buffoonery. He has had enough seeing such films, and he also said that he considered himself lucky that he did not have to see more.

When asked about fans' associations, Azhikode said that they were a kind of mafia organizations. He also lashed out against K B Ganesh Kumar and said that his intelligence was not developed enough to question Azhikode's excellence.

I have erased Azhikode from my mind: Mohanlal

Superstar Mohanlal said on Wednesday that he was very well aware of what people were saying about Azhikode. He was talking to members of the media, after Azhikode relaunched his attacks on the star yesterday.

Mohanlal said that he had not used the term ayaal in a derogatory sense while referring to Azhikode. The word simply means 'that person'. Azhikode who is a literary genius should be well aware of its meaning.

Mohanlal also took offence to Azhikode's comments on the star's driver having turned into a producer. Lal said that every job has a dignity. There is not much of a use in merely writing forty books. What one should really learn is to behave well with other people.

Mohanlal concluded by saying that he has erased Sukumar Azhikode from his mind.

Maithily rechristens herself as Manickyam

Nobody would have forgotten that petite young girl who made her debut in Ranjith's 'Palery Manickyam'. Maithily, the actress who had shown much promise in her debut film, later went on to sign a couple of other films as well.

However, now she has decided to change her name, since there is another Maithily in showbiz. Hence she has decided to call herself Manickyam from now on, the name of her character in her debut film.

Manickyam is all set to start the shoot of the Jayasurya film 'Nallavan', in which she has been promised a meaningful role. She had also done Mammootty's 'Chattambinaadu', in which she was cast opposite Vinu Mohan.

This would be the third time Manickyam changes her name. Originally Brighty Balachandran, and later Maithily, this Manickyam now hopes to conquer Malluwood under her new name.

Verbal fight between Lal and Azhikode

The tug of war between Megastar Mohanlal and Sukumar Azhikode, that started a week ago has taken a new turn with the later referring about the star to have no idea about the nation's culture. Azhikode alleged that the superstar's frantic attempts to regain his fast disappearing youth fans by fixing wigs and makeup, will not work for a long time. The orator further added that an iota of goodness was needed in the heart as well, not just in the characters that he portrays. Stating that it is high time for the star to stop acting in young characters Azhikode said "Mohanlal's popularity will end when he stops acting. However my forty books, that are a reflection of my soul, will stand the tests of time".

But Mohanlal sharply replied to his statement that 'merely writing forty books is of no use, if a person can't accept the dignity of each job'. He also criticized Azhikode's comments on the star's driver turning his producer. Lal added that one should learn to behave well with other people. Lal concluded that he has erased Sukumar Azhikode from his mind. But the remarks of Sukumar Azhikode yesterday says that he is still in much force to continue with his verbal attacks on the super star.

Mammootty and I would act with Thilakan again: Mohanlal

Megastar Mohanlal has hit back at Sukumar Azhikode by clarifying that at no point had he asked the orator to play peacemaker in the Thilakan controversy.

Mohanlal in an interview to a television channel said that he had rung up Azhikode to request him to leave him alone. Mohanlal said he didn't understand why Azhikode was against his acting in jewelery ads.

Instead of responding to his request, Azhikode had asked Lal if the Thilakan issue couldn't be solved through peace talks. And Mohanlal had said that it could definitely be attempted.

Mohanlal also said that this was a matter that concerned the disciplinary committee of AMMA. And a person like Azhikode who is not even a regular cinema goer has no right to get involved in it. The megastar also said that he takes Azhikode's comments as those uttered by a senior personality and nothing more.

Mohanlal concluded by saying that he was even willing to go and meet Thilakan in person to solve the current issue. He said that both he and Mammootty would definitely act with Thilakan in the future. It's the veteran actor himself who is reluctant to act with them. If Thilakan didn't want to be a part of AMMA, he is welcome to leave the association. However there would be no ban prohibiting him from acting in films.

Thilakan controversy: War of words continues

The war of words in the Malayalam film industry, involving veteran actor Thilakan, superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal and others, continues unabated.

Thilakan is currently facing the heat from various film workers' organisations, including the Association of Malayalam Movies Artistes (AMMA), for his utterances against some superstars and select directors.

He replied to a show-cause notice from the AMMA, saying he has done no wrong and the question of an apology does not arise.

Thilakan has been getting support from the Communist Party of India after a few legislators joined him on podium during public meetings in Kottayam and Ernakulam districts.

But the biggest cheer for him came Monday when veteran social critic Sukumar Azhikode lashed out at Mohanlal when he said the love scenes done by the superstar on screen have become unpalatable.

Azhikode also criticised Mohanlal for endorsing jewellery and found fault with him for coming to the defence of Mammootty.

Mohanlal told reporters here Tuesday that it should not be of concern to Azhikode if he was endorsing jewellery.

"I told him to leave me alone. Even Amitabh Bachchan endorses products. I see the statements from Azhikode as those made by an old man. He also advised (me) to settle the present controversy. I replied I have nothing to do on that and it has to be done by AMMA," he said.

Thilakan has been asked to appear before the disciplinary committee of AMMA March 1.

"I am yet to decide on whether I should appear or not. Several people are trying to settle the issue and I am willing to discuss it on certain conditions, which I will make at an appropriate time," he said.

* Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 23 (IANS) The war of words in the Malayalam film industry, involving veteran actor Thilakan, superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal and others, continues unabated.

Azhikode's accusations against Mammootty baseless: Ranjith

* Sukumar Azhikode getting involved in the Thilakan controversy seems to have heated up the affairs quite a bit.

Azhikode had recently heavily come down on the superstars, when he said that Mammootty had got a remuneration of five and a half crores for acting in 'Pazhassi Raja', and that Mohanlal was selling off his recognition by appearing in jewelery ads.

Director Ranjith, who has never minced words when expressing an opinion has retaliated with equal strength towards Azhikode's comments.

While interacting with a popular online medium, he stated that Azhikode's accusations against Mammootty are baseless, and that he should get his facts right before he blurts out such statements.

Ranjith rose in defense of Mammootty when he said that he personally had an experience as to how accommodating Mammootty was, when he agreed to do the critically acclaimed 'Palery Manickyam' for a very moderate fee, especially since the actor was convinced of its scope.

Azhikode should not speak of crores merely based on hearsay. He should also reveal the source of his infrmation. Ranjith went on to say that he was willing to take back his comments if either Gokulam Gopalan or Hariharan affirmed that Mammootty had claimed a high remuneration for 'Pazhassi Raja'.

Ranjith also said that he didn't understand the logic behind accusing Mammootty of throwing Thilakan out of 'Christian Brothers'. This was after all a Mohanlal film that was being directed by Joshey. Azhikode was merely backing the statements that Thilakan had been issuing, without realizing what the truth is.

Azhikode, who is a great orator, goes to speak after demanding a fee. Mohanlal and Mammootty do the same for the job that they do; that is acting. There is no use of being jealous about it, Ranjith said.

Sukumar Azhikode lashes out against Mohanlal for selling popularity

* Prominent orator Sukumar Azhikode lashed out against Megastar Mohanlal today, when he accused Lal of selling the recognition and popularity that he enjoyed.

Azhikode was interacting with media delegates here, when he said that Mohanlal's appearing in an ad for a popular jewelery brand showed that he was looking for money. If he were an ordinary man, he wouldn't have done this.

Azhikode also talked against the romantic scenes that the actor played on screen, and said that they were quite distasteful. He added that the support that Mohanlal had offered Mammootty a couple of days back is a form of confession, and proof of the fact that Mammootty has done something wrong.

Sukumar Azhikode had earlier offered support for Thilakan, when he had proclaimed that banning Thilakan from the industry is like banning art itself.

Mohanlal & Mammootty move closer

The fans of Malayalam superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal may not see eye to eye, but their idols are getting closer.

They have come together to fight the common enemy the veteran actor Thilakan who has been a thorn in their flesh.

Thilakan has been making some wild and unsubstantiated allegations against them. He has been able to get the support of the so called "left intellectuals" like Sukumar Azhikode and Punathil Kunjabdulla. Azhikode had criticized Mohanlal' for doing commercial endorsements for a popular jewelery brand and made a "dumb" remark that Mammootty had got Rs 5 crore to do Pazhassi Raja!

Noted novelist Punathil Kunjabdulla, went one step ahead and said at a literary forum that: "Thilakan is one of the most distinguished actors in the world, and before him Mammootty and Mohanlal are nothing!" The irony of it is that both Azhikode and Punathil hardly know anything about cinema or the contribution that M & M has made to Malayalam films.

There was a sustained campaign to tarnish the image of M & M by these so called "intellectuals" as they blindly supported Thilakan in his crusade against the stars. Please note some vested interests in Malayalam film industry are also behind this smear campaign against the superstars.

Meanwhile the two superstars met "accidentally" at the picturesque Panangad Choice Gardens on the backwaters near Kochi. Mohanlal and Mammootty were shooting there for their forthcoming films Christian Brothers and Pramani respectively. During the one hour post lunch meet the stars without any aides discussed about the "Thilakan threat to topple them".

Mohanlal in an earlier interview to a newspaper had come to the defense of Mammootty by saying that he would never snatch a role from Thilakan. Later Mohanlal in an interview to a television channel said that he had rung up Azhikode and asked him to back off and leave him alone and not drag him into unnecessary controversies. And regarding Azhikode's statement, that Thilakan and Mohanlal had expressed a desire to hold talks to solve the raging controversy the star made it clear that he had never expressed such willingness.

And as far as Azhikode's criticism that he is cashing in on his fame and popularity by doing commercial endorsements, Mohanlal shot back: "I told him to leave me alone as all stars including Amitabh Bachchan endorses products. I see Azhikode's ranting against me and Mammootty, as those made by an old man."

Will not comment on Thilakan: Mammootty

Veteran Malayalam superstar Mammootty has declined to comment on the controversy triggered by the outburst of thespian Thilakan.

Mammootty, talking to IANS over phone, said: "I will not say anything. What is there to be said?" He was speaking from the sets of his latest film "Pokiriraja".

Actor Thilakan is currently facing the heat from various film bodies, including the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA), for his utterances against film organisations in the state.

Discussing his films, including his latest release "Dhrona", which has not done as expected, the superstar said: "See, it was an excellent subject, but somehow it has not come out well. Mind you, this is the way films are. You win some, you lose some. When there is a setback you go back to the basics, and that is precisely what I do, and fine-tune myself for the next film."

Speaking about his next project, Mammootty said it would be the directorial debut of veteran character and comedy artiste Jagdeesh.

"I am told that the name of the film is going to be 'Amar Akbar Antony', but don't mistake it for the yesteryears' Hindi film. It is a love story and I play the role of a technocrat. I heard the story and am yet to see the script," added Mammootty.

The year 2009, was very good for Mammootty with eight releases and a variety of roles. He also received an honorary doctorate from the Kerala University.

However, 2010 appears to have got off on a wrong note with "Dhrona" bombing at the box office and the Thilakan controversy adding to troubles. At the moment, the AMMA and the other film bodies are strongly behind Mammootty.

Mammootty maintains a dignified silence

Whenever the megastar is approached by the journalists for a comment on the subject, he asks ''What is to be told on a subject, where I don't have any role?'' Mammootty instead is busy with his new projects and loves to talk about some.
The actor who has completed his 'Pramaani'with B Unnikrishnan, scheduled for release on the 19th of March. More he joined the sets of 'Pokkiri Raja' today. As usual a jovial Mammootty is happy in the sets, and will soon announce his association with actor Jagadheesh for his debut directorial venture 'Amar Akbar Antony'.

മമ്മൂട്ടി ദ്രോഹം ചെയ്യുന്നവനല്ല: ക്യാപ്ടന്‍ രാജു[Install malayalam font to read this post]

മെഗാസ്റ്റാര്‍ മമ്മൂട്ടി ആര്‍ക്കും ദ്രോഹം ചെയ്യുന്നവനല്ലെന്ന് നടന്‍ ക്യാപ്ടന്‍ രാജു. ഒരു ടി വി ചാനലിന് നല്‍കിയ അഭിമുഖത്തിലാണ് ക്യാപ്ടന്‍ ഇങ്ങനെ പറഞ്ഞത്. ദേഷ്യം വന്നാല്‍ അത് തുറന്നു പറയുകയും അത് അപ്പോള്‍ തന്നെ മറക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്ന ആളാണ് മമ്മൂട്ടിയെന്നും അദ്ദേഹം പറഞ്ഞു.മമ്മൂട്ടി വളരെ ഇമോഷണലാണ്. വേഗം പൊട്ടിത്തെറിക്കും. എന്നാല്‍ അത് അപ്പോള്‍ തന്നെ

പറഞ്ഞു.മോഹന്‍ലാലിനോടൊപ്പം അഭിനയിക്കുമ്പോള്‍ ഉണ്ടാകുന്ന ഒരു കെമിസ്ട്രി മമ്മൂട്ടിയോടൊപ്പം ഉണ്ടാകുന്നില്ല എന്ന് തിലകന്‍ ഒരിക്കലും പറയരുതായിരുന്നു. എല്ലാവരുടെയും അഭിനയത്തിന്‍റെ മെഷര്‍മെന്‍റ്‌ എടുക്കാന്‍ തിലകനെ ആരും ചുമതലപ്പെടുത്തിയിട്ടില്ല. മൂന്നു തവണ ദേശീയ പുരസ്കാരം നേടിയ, ലോകം അംഗീകരിച്ച നടനാണ് മമ്മൂട്ടി. അമിതാഭ് ബച്ചന്‍ പോലും അദ്ദേഹത്തെ
'മമ്മൂട്ടിജി' എന്നാണ് വിളിക്കുന്നത്. അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്‍റെ അഭിനയത്തിന്‍റെ ആഴം അളക്കാനുള്ള അളവുകോല്‍ ആരാണ് തിലകന് കൊടുത്തത്? - ക്യാപ്ടന്‍ രാജു ചോദിച്ചു.അഭിനേതാക്കള്‍ക്ക് തിളങ്ങാനുള്ള ആകാശമൊരുക്കിയ നടനാണ് തിലകനെന്ന സുകുമാര്‍ അഴീക്കോടിന്‍റെ പ്രസ്താവനയെ ക്യാപ്ടന്‍ രാജു നിശിതമായി വിമര്‍ശിച്ചു. അഴീക്കോട് പറഞ്ഞത് മണ്ടത്തരമാണ്. കൊട്ടാരക്കര ശ്രീധരന്‍ നായര്‍,

Mohanlal breaks the silence in Thilakan issue; speaks in defence of Mammootty

http://www.manoramaonline.com/cgi-bin/MMOnline.dll/portal/ep/malayalamContentView.do?contentType=EDITORIAL&programId=3982928&articleType=Movies&contentId=6765935&tabId=3&BV_ID=@@@

Superstar Mohanlal has finally broken the silence that the Big M's had maintained for the last few weeks regarding the controversy raised by actor Thilakan.

Mohanlal, while interacting with a prominent daily yesterday said that Mammootty's silence in the Thilakan issue should not be mistaken as cowardice. Mammootty is maintaining a silence merely because of the respect that the industry has towards Thilakan as a senior actor.

Mohanlal also said that Mammootty would never snatch a role from Thilakan, and added that most people in the industry have had first hand experience regarding Mammootty's goodness. He said that if there was an attempt to isolate Mammootty, he would strongly oppose it.

It was not on Mammootty's behest that AMMA issued a notice to Thilakan. On the other hand it was because Thilakan had repeatedly caused injury to the association's reputation.

Mohanlal affirmed that attempts to break up AMMA would be sternly dealt with. He also spoke in support of the fans' associations, when he said that it was not right to blame the fans' association for some anonymous phone call that someone receives.

Sequel mania in Mollywood

After the success of recent movie like 'Neelathamara', it seems that more and more sequels are on the way in Mollywood. The latest news doing the rounds is about the third part of Kerala classic 'Nadodikkattu', for which the two sequels are already out. This move, if realised will see the comeback of that Golden Pair of Dasan and Vijayan, once again onscreen. Sreenivasan is said to handle the script of the new movie. This also will feature Mohanlal in a new avatar, satisfying the changing social scenario.

The other sequels of movies that are under discussions include Dileep's 'CID Moosa', which will have a redo as 'Moosa from Scotland'. Johnny Antony will call the shots while most characters from the original will be seen once again in the sequel also. Mohanlal's 'Rajavinte Makan', Mammootty's 'Samrajyam' and Jayaram's 'Sandesham' will also be featured in the list of movies that will soon have their second parts.

Thilakan expelled

Thilakan on Wednesday was has been expelled from AMMA and FEFKA. His one man fight against the powerful film associations in Kerala has come to a bitter end.

The veteran actor was served a show cause notice by the film bodies to apologise or face action for his outburst against some top actors and personalities. But Thilakan stood by his words and refused to apologise saying he hasn't done any thing wrong.

In a letter to AMMA, he said it did not come to his help when he was dropped from the film 'Christian Brothers' after he was signed and the advance given. Thilakan began his one-man fight against AMMA and FEFKA after he was denied an opportunity to act in 'Christian Brothers'.

FEFKA on Wednesday decided not cooperate with Thilakan, unless he apologises for making all kinds of wild allegations including calling them a Mafia.

Now the writing is on the wall. It would be almost impossible for Thilakan to do another film in Malayalam film unless this issue is sorted out.

Kerala Box Office- Dec 2009 - Jan 2010

After a long time here is the latest at the Kerala box-office during the period January 1 to 31. Mammootty's Christmas release Chattambinadu is the clear number one for the season. The film has already taken a distributors share of around Rs 3 crore from releasing stations in the first five weeks and is a super hit.

At number two is James Cameron's Avatar, a blockbuster in Kerala. At Ernakulam Sridhar the 3D version has already taken a net around Rs 42 lakhs, which is extraordinary.

In the third position is Happy Husbands, the sleeper comedy hit which will cover its cost from releasing stations.

Siddique's Bodyguardhas turned out to be only an above average grosser. In the fifth position is Mammootty's Drona, which released last week but failed even to take an opening.
At the sixth position is Mohanlal's Christmas release Ividum Swargam Aanu, which has been removed from all main stations like Ernakulam and Kozhikode.

Pazhassi Raja continues its glorious run as it is nearing 100days and is in the seventh place.

Namitha is scoring big in B & C stations mainly in Malabar area with her Black Stallion with Kalabhavan Mani and is in the eighth place.

The special effects extravaganza 2010 is in the ninth position still drawing awestruck audiences in B and C stations in Kerala, with the film having crossed the Rs 2.5 Crore share in Kerala!

Last on the list is Vijay's Vettaikaran running in B & C stations.

Thilakan denies having said anything against Mammootty

Thilakan, who has been on a protest campaign against a ban that he alleges has been imposed on him, today said that he hasn't said anything against Mammootty.

Thilakan has been however clearly suggesting for the past several days that the superstars are ruining the industry.

However he said today that he had been told by Subair, producer of 'Christian Brothers' that he was chucked out of the film on a superstar's insistence. He had merely repeated what Subair had told him.

The FEFKA meanwhile is considering taking action against Thilakan, for alleging that the organization is behind his ousting from the Joshey film. The FEFKA would hold a meeting on the 17th of this month.

‘Thalaivasal’ Vijay takes Kerala by storm

One of the best character artistes in Tamil industry 'Thalaivasal' Vijay is taking Kerala by storm with his brilliant performance in the central role of Narayanaguru in the film 'Yugapurushan', which is a biopic on the life of the biggest social reformer ever lived in Kerala.

Vijay is getting rave reviews for the role from all quarters. Critics and the masses are convinced with the meticulous depiction of guru by Vijay. The laurels are so big that henceforth in Kerala he may be called 'Yugapurushan' Vijay.

An interesting thing in this regard is that the role of Narayanaguru was first to be done by none other than Mammootty. But the great actor was apprehensive thinking his super star status may take the sheen off the character and he stayed away. That decision proved to be a big luck for 'Thalaivasal' Vijay.

Congratulations 'Thalaivasal'… sorry 'Yugapurushan' Vijay.

Thilakan receives anonymous threats

Veteran actor Thilakan who is presently engaged in a verbal war with the top people in Malayalam film industry, lodged a complaint with the Alappuzha South about a threatening call he received. Citing his life to be under threat, the actor says that an anonymous person called him repeatedly and threatened him that he will be killed in a week. The voice in the phone is also reported to have asked Thilakan who was he to find faults with the superstar Mammootty.

Thilakan, who was at that time having dinner at a restaurant in Alappuzha, immediately lodged a complaint at the nearby police station. With the threatening calls coming up, the issue between Thilakan and association of stars and technicians is taking a new turn. This is for the first time that such an issue has gone public to the extent of threatening calls.

The present fight started with Thilakan and a group of actors like Mala Aravindan, Sphadikam George and Captain Raju joining the sets of director Vinayan's new movie 'Yakshiyum Njanum'. It was also then rumoured that the artists association (AMMA) has secretly banned anybody from acting in the film of Vinayan, who was warring with the newly formed technicians association, FEFKA.

Shortly thereafter, Thilakan was expelled from the new multistarrer 'Christian Brothers' directed by Joshy. Thilakan then accused it as the plot of FEFKA and AMMA and raised his voice against a superstar alleging that he was against all the issues, though he refused to name him. No one in the industry had a clue on what forced the veteran who was recently seen with Mammootty in a prominent role for the new movie 'Drona 2010', to explode.

And then, AMMA got involved in the issue and called for explanation and apology within a week, from Thilakan regarding his unwarranted statements. Now the entire industry and the public is in the waiting to see whether the actor will oblige to AMMA's demands.

‘Pramaani’ release preponed

As his 'Drona 2010' succumbed to big losses all across the state, Megastar Mammootty has preponed the release of his next movie 'Pramaani' by two weeks. The movie which will finish its final schedule of shoot this week, will now get released by the 18th of March.

Directed by B Unnikrishnan, the movie will feature Mammootty as a corrupt Panchayat president while Sneha will be appearing as the upright, disciplined secretary of the panchayat. The movie with plenty of punch lines and powerful dialogues will also takes a satirical look at the present day politics of the state.

B Unnikrishnan has been largely successful in his previous films 'Maadambi' with Mohanlal and in 'IG' with Suresh Gopi and 'Smart City'. 'Pramaani' produced by B C Joshy under the banner of Surya Cine Arts is expected to be another big hit like his earlier movies.

Thilakan defies AMMA

Veteran actor Thilakan plans to defy AMMA's(Association of Malayalam Movie Artists) ultimatum for a regret message and challenges it to act against him. The actor who made it clear that he will think of giving an explanation only after receiving the letter from the association also said that AMMA cannot prevent him from his artistic endeavours, as it is not a trade union. The actor also made it clear that doing his work is not only his birth right as well as constitutional right.

Thilakan has been at loggerheads with filmi organisations and superstars since 2004. His first criticisms was against character actor Nedumudi Venu who was accused claiming his roles. Then it turned against superstar Mohanlal with allegations about the presence of a Thiruvananthapuram lobby of upper caste Nairs, working against him in the film industry. And for this time Thilakan has also mentioned about the other superstar, Mammootty behaving like a Goonda leader.

According to Innocent, the president of AMMA, Thilakan could have raised his complaints at AMMA rather than going out to public and media. Innocent points out that Thilakan's remarks against Mammootty and AMMA have the nature of character assassination and personal humiliation, which demands satisfactory explanation from the actor. ''As per my knowledge, there is no ban on any actor imposed by AMMA'' adds Innocent .

Thilakan asked to apologize

At the general body meeting of the AMMA held yesterday, the forum decided to ask veteran actor Thilakan for an apology for creating an unwanted controversy. The meeting attended by 13 executive members including Innocent, Mammootty and Mohanlal decided to take "stringent action" against Thilakan, if he fails to express regret within a week over the allegations he made.

The latest round of controversy all started as Thilakan was dropped from the multistarrer movie 'Christian Brothers' after booked for a prominent role. Thilakan then expressed grief over the decision and informed the media that producer Varnachitra Subair had told him he was being dropped due to the directive from FEFKA, which was acting on the orders of a superstar.

Thilakan then launched a protest against film organisations for denying him the opportunity to act in this new film. He then maintained that two major organisations in the industry and the superstars are against him because he acted in the latest film directed by Vinayan. He even inaugurated a protest meeting on Thrissur this Saturday with the support of State ministers G Sudhakaran and Mullakkara Retnakaran.

Roshan with Mammootty

Ace director Roshan Andrews who has managed to carve out a hit from his latest family movie with Mohanlal 'Ividam Swargam Aanu' will be calling the shots to the other super star Mammootty soon. The movie with Mammootty is likely to be produced by Carlton Karunakaran. It will be scripted by Bobby-Sanjay, who had worked with Roshan earlier, for the hit 'Notebook'. The movie is rumoured to be an investigative thriller. This project is expected to start by the final months of 2010.

Meanwhile Roshan is all set to start his next movie with Mohanlal titled as 'Casanova'. The much delayed movie will finally kick off in March.

'I'm lucky to get another movie with Mammootty'

After films like Pazhassi Raja, Bhagyadevatha and My Big Father, Kaniha is perhaps the hottest heroine in Malayalam cinema right now.

The engineer-turned-actor, who is now settled in the US after her marriage, has more reasons to smile as her latest release, Drona 2010, with Mammootty as the hero, releases on Wednesday.

Kaniha reveals more about the film, her career and her high profile film, Christian Brothers with Mohanlal to Meghna George.

You must be very happy with your dream run in Malayalam...

I am very happy [smiles]. This definitely is the best phase in my career not just because I have had consecutive hits, but because I am getting to work with great legends and portray versatile roles. So yes, I'm thrilled. It certainly feels good to be part of sensible movies, to play meaningful roles and also to experience success.

What is your role in Drona 2010?

I play Tulasimani, a role which I have always wanted to play. She is a very bubbly, talkative and innocent girl. I enjoyed playing her and especially speaking the Brahmanical language. It is a film that has a lot of suspense and mystery right from the start. Now that I have mentioned that it is a thriller, I can't say more.
