a scene from Pattanathil Bhootham
Monday, June 29, 2009
Tribute to the greate director,scriptor & actor:LOHITHADAS
He created memorable films with mammootty such as AMARAM,BHOOTHAKANNADY,KUTTETTAN Etc...........
One of the most famous screenwriters and director that Mollywood produced in the last decade, A.K. Lohithadas, died in hospital at Kochy on Sunday morning, following a massive heart attack. Lohithadas, who complained of chest pain at his home at Desam near Aluva was rushed to a private hospital in Aluva, but was later shifted to Lisie Hospital Kochi by about 10.50 am. However, efforts to save his life didn't worked out and the end came at about 11.30 am leaving the entire industry in a deep shock.
Survived by wife Sindhu and sons Harikrishnan and Vijayasankar, Lohithadas started his career as a playwright. In 1987, he made a mark with the debut film, ‘Thaiyavarathanam’, directed by Sibi Malayil which won many awards in many festivals. The ‘Sibi-Lohi’ duo was immensely successful in Malayalam cinema, creating continuous hits after hits in the nineties which include Ezhu Thapurangal, Kireedom, Mudra, His Highness Abdullah, Bharatham and Kamaladalam. He was rated as the able successor of the classic scripters-directors like Bharathan and Padmarajan.
A writer whose works literally liberated the Mollywood to meaningful cinema, he created 44 screenplays and directed 12 films in his filmi career that lasted twenty two year
Does Mamootty have horns?
Mammootty told Dileep, one of the guests at the function - "I had gone to Hong Kong, for shooting a song for Daddy Cool, and saw this horn at a wayside shop and picked it up. It remained me so much about the horn the friendly ghost wears in Pattanathil Bhootham"
The music of Pattanathil Bhootham, by new music director Shaan Rahman (the guy who made the album `Coffee@MG Road´ with Vineeth Sreenivasan) is a hit.
The film is now almost certain to release in 111 screens on July 2.

Malayala Cinema Half Year Box office Report
When we take the star based accounts, in short, our superstars promised much and delivered less. All their movies were much hyped in one or another way and none of them could keep their promise. Mohanlal had 3 releases. 'Red Chillies' was the first release of the year and could not make any impact. 'Sagar Alias Jacky' was the much hyped movie of the year and started with a record opening all over the Kerala. But fans euphoria evaporated soon and fell flat. Though it could make an average business but that was not enough to recover its huge production cost. 'Bhagwan' was next one and became the biggest disaster of his career. At the same time, the other super star Mammootty had only a single release, 'Love in Singapore', which became another disaster in his career. Suresh Gopi is continuing his pathetic performance at box office and `Kancheepurathe Kalyaanam' and `IG' is underlining that fact. Jayaram is the only star who can have a
sigh of relief since one of his two releases became a hit that is none other than 'Bhagyadevatha'. At the same time, his other release 'Samastha Keralam P.O' became a wash out. Dileep had only one release as hero that is Moz N' Cat, which he may not like to remember. At the same time, should be appreciated for being a part of 'Passenger' kind of movies.
From the young brigade Prithviraj, Jayasurya, and others continues to struggle and could not make any ripples at the box-office. For instance, Prithviraj's `Calender' was a family entertainer but the film somehow failed to rake in the moolah while films with bold or different themes like `Orkkuka Vallapozum,' `Bhoomi Malayalam' and `Banaras' found it difficult to get playing time in the theatres. 'Ivar vivahitharayaal' is another release which could fetch average reviews and it may turn out to be a surprise hit. 'Bhramaram' is the forthcoming big release of this month and expected to be a classic.

Mammootty-Joshi come together again.
The duo first worked together in Aa Rathri and went on to do many hit and super hit films.
Mammootty has a string of films to do this year, but there are chances that the actor gives way for this film. In fact, it was Joshi who gave Mammootty a big break with New Delhi when his career was looking so dim.

The film, details about which are yet to be finalized, will feature script by the Sachi-Sethu duo, who had earlier scripted the Shafi-directed blockbuster 'Chocolate'.

Re: PLAYHOUSE Inauguration
The ribbon cutting ceremony of new company was done here by popular film personalities Siddique and Lal.
"The name of the company itself means theatre and hence it would be for both film and drama. Opportunities would be there for new faces in film and drama," Mammootty told reporters.
The actor has been one of the leading stars of the Malayalam film industry for the past 26 years and has put on the grease-paint in more than 300 films besides picking up three national awards for acting.
The company has lined up three films for distribution and one for production in which Mammootty will play the lead, the actor informed.
The first film to be distributed is Jayaram-starrer "Kana Kanmani" directed by Akku Akbar and the others films by award winning director Shyamaprasad and Lal Jose.

film written by K.Gireesh Kumar and directed by Akku Akbar will have
Jayaram playing the common man again.Padmapriya will replace Gopika

the super hit musical entertainer Johnny Walker, Jayaraj and
Mammootty team up again in the film based on a script written by
writer-director Renjit. The title has been derived from the character
Mammootty plays, 'Mike Gopalan', who always talks very loudly! Sabita
Jayaraj will be the line producer of this film which is likely to be
Mammootty's Christmas release.
Meanwhile Moser Baer Entertainment is also talking to three other
producers, for a Mohanlal, Prithviraj and a Dileep film, all in the
pipeline.

Padmapriya replaced in Daddy Cool
Actress Nikitha has agreed to make a special appearance in Mammootty's forthcoming family thriller Daddy Cool instead
of Padmapriya, who walked out of the assignment due to date problems. A
song will be picturised on Nikhita, Mammootty and Daniel Balaji at
Poombatta in Thammanam this week.
Scripted and directed by newcomer Ashique Abu, ex-assistant to veteran director Kamal, Daddy Cool narrates the story of a cricket-loving police officer Antony Simon (Mammootty) and his son. Richa Pallod of Shahjahan
fame is the heroine; she appears as Annie, wife of Mammootty. The film
is produced by Alvin Antony and Khader Mayyazhi under the banner of
Wall Green Productions.
Nikitha debuted in movies with veteran director Fazil's average Malayalam film Kaiyethum Doorathu in 2002. She has appeared in only three Malayalam films so far, the other two being Bus Conductor (2004) and Bhargava Charitham Moonam Khandam (2005).
Kaiyethum Doorathu bombed at the box office, while Bus Conductor and Bhargava Charitham Moonam Khandam did
not do too well either. She later acted in other language films, acting
in about 22 films in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. Nikitha is well-known
for her item number 'Kodana Kodi' in the recent Tamil film Saroja (2008).
