Sequel mania in Mollywood
It is remake raj
in Malayalam
cinema. Nearly a dozen
old classics and
earlier box-office
hits mainly of the 1980's are going to be remade. Last week,Padmarajan's
Bharathan directed
Rathinirvedam was launched
with Shwetha Menon playing
the role made memorable by
Jayabharathi. Producer Suresh Kumar has tasted huge
success recently when he
re made MT Vasudevan Nair's
classic Neelathamara. The remakes are capable of
generating a feeling of
nostalgia, and have
tremendous recall value among
the audiences. This will
generate a box-office buzz around the film. A classic like Adoor
Gopala krishnan's Mathilukal
based on Vaikkom Mohammad
Bashir's novel which won a
National award for Mammooty
is going to have a sequel Mathilukalkappuram, to be
directed by Prasad. Sequels of popular movies
featuring Mammootty and
Mohanlal were being made for
the last so many years. Mammootty's CBI Diary Kurupu
is all set to come out with its fifth part. A part two of
August 1 with Mammootty in
the lead titled August 15 is all
set to release in March. Mohanlal is all set to do a
prequel to Rajavinte Magan
with Thamby Kannanthanam
directing.
The super hit
Naduvazhikal from the
Mohanlal-Joshi team is now going to be remade with
Prithviraj in the lead.
Two characters from different
hit movies gunning for each
other which has been tried
out before in Balram versus
Taradas is now once again
happening. Now Mammootty's King
character Thevalliparambil
Joseph Alex IAS is going to
take on Suresh Gopi's Bharath
Chandran IPS! Similarly all 1980's and 90's
comedies are also getting
remade or sequels are being
planned around them.
Ninnishtam Ennishtam,
Mukkillarajyathu, Malappuram Joji Mahanaya Haji ,
Meleparambil Aanveedu,
Kasargode Kadherbhai-3,
Pavam Krooran etc, etc are
now being remade or sequels
planned around them. In the next two years
Malayalam cinema will see a
festival of remakes and
sequels hitting the screens.
