One of the most common criticisms leveled against Malayalam cinema today is the lack of mass films. There are widespread complaints that the Malayalam industry is still focusing only on content, while producing mass films that are popular across India, including Kannada cinema.
However, the big budget films of Malayalam’s top stars are promising. Dulquer Salmaan’s King of Kota is the most hyped film recently. Abhilash Joshi is the director of the film. Reports say that Aishwarya Lakshmi will play the lead role in the film, which will also feature Gokul Suresh.
The film has been building up a lot of hype for the past few days. The first poster of King of Kotha will be out on July 28, 2021, on Dulquer’s birthday. This poster went viral that day. Expectations about the film have risen with just one poster.
Abhilash Joshi said in an interview to Times of India that he had Dulquer as the hero in mind and that this is a gangster film with love and songs.
A year after the release of the first poster, the second poster of the film was released on October 1. That too created a big movement on social media. Dulquer’s high star value at the pan-Indian level after Sita Ram will also benefit the film.
Prithviraj’s upcoming big budget film is Kaliyan. The poster released by Kalyan team on Prithviraj’s birthday was impressive. A warrior on a horse could be seen in the poster. Prithviraj starrer ‘Kaliyan’ is the biggest budget film to be released.
Prithviraj plays the role of Kaliyan, a warrior and confidant of Venad hero Iravikutty Pillai in the film. Kalyan is envisioned as an epic thriller. This is the first film based on southern folklore of Kerala. The epics of Iravikutty Pillai have been hailed in southern songs, one of the stories set in the 17th century Venad Empire.
Bilal is the most awaited film in Malayalam cinema but has not given any significant updates. This is the second part of the Mammootty-Amal Neerad collaboration Big B.
Mohanlal-Prithviraj collaboration’s Empuraan is also a much awaited film by the audience. The reason for this is that the second part of the movie Lucifer, directed by Prithviraj and starring Mohanlal as the hero. Lucifer starring Mohanlal as Stephen Nedumpalli is one of the Malayalam blockbusters. Reports are coming out that the film will go on floors in mid-2023.
Ajay’s second Moshanam is a Pan Indian film starring Tovino Thomas. The film is directed by debutant Jitin Lal. The pre-visualization video of the film was impressive.
Tovino will play a triple role for the first time, and the film is being made entirely in 3D. Ajayan’s 2nd Moshanam is an action and adventure film. The makers describe the film as an adventure saga that progresses through many eras. Aishwarya Rajesh, Kriti Shetty and Surabhi Lakshmi are the heroines.
