Podcasts about prithviraj sukumaran

Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast and we're talking EMPURAAN and SIKANDAR with friend to the pod, Pappuchaaru. We took a break from our 80s Dhamaaka series to watch the Malayalam masala actioner, Empuraan. Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran and starring Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, and a whole host of other actors including R10 himself, this movie has run into political foul weather just days after its release. We discuss how it all unfolded, the movie itself, and what this means for Malayalam cinema. And then we have a lot to discuss with Sikandar. Directed by A. R. Murugadoss (Ghajini, 2008), this movie stars Salman Khan, Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi and others. Social media has already been ripping this movie apart. We discuss how low the bar has gotten and what lies ahead for Salman and the Hindi film industry.

Suri  Story - Screenplay - direction: Prashanth Neel Producer: Vijay Kiragandur Interesting Facts: After KGF, Prabhas himself kept hearing from fans manodu KGF chest bagundedi and everybody was talking about KGF including people in his home but he hadn't seen the movie until then. Then he watched it and said it was extradoinary then a producer in the industry said Prashanth wants to meet him. Initially Prabhas was hesitant because in Telugu industry they say hero wants tp meet director ula kaadhu so he asked for clarity does he really want me to meet me or producers trick so he said ok. They met and talked about what movies they like general talk it was not a meeting for a film. They liked each other after it. And Prasanth was surprised because they thought Baahubali actor was big egotistical guy loos attitude. Then Pramod who is prabhas cousin and owner of UV Creations got a call from Vijay Kirangandur and he had just signed Adipurush and Project K and said Prasanth wants to direct you. They never gave him a response and he thought there was some 100 heroes he could have chosen. Then one night at 12 AM, he and Pramod were deciding and and if they say yes Om Raut and Nag Ashwin will get angry, if he says no then he can ever work with Prashanth need again so they asked how many days Hombale needs. They said 45 days. He was like Prashanth need 45 days his last two movies took 6 years to make and we can lie to other producers. But he understood one thing, if he said to Prashanth Neel and fans found ut, they will kill me so he agreed to do it. All his projects took a long time, Project K took 3 years and finally it took 112 days to complete Salaar.  For Prithviraj, Neel narrated the story when he was filming a movie called Aadujeevitham in Dubai and then COVID happened and he has a huge physical transformation and then Prashanth need narrated Salaar. Initially he wanted to say no because generally pan India movie dont give Malayalam actors big roles but within 10 minutes he said yes. But now due to Aadujeevitham dates issue he called need and said I cant do it. Because he was the only choice for the role, Prashanth Neel spoke to Prabhas and said we will wait for you let us know your dates when you can make it and he ended up doing the movie.  For SHriya Reddy she made a comeback to Telugu cinema after 17 years, apparently she's in Amma Cheppindi movie so its her first straight movie after 17 years. Of course we all remember her fro. Pogaru and its her first movie in a long time. Prashanth neel had her in ind for the role and called her monthly to keep in touch and let her know about the progress.  Godavarikhani, Italy, and Ramoji Film City entire shooting happened. Filming started on January 27th 2021 in Govadarikhani and ended up on December 1st, 2023 after 114 working days.  The movie is a reimaginging of Neel's own Uggaram which starred his brother in law Srimurali,  Movie was shot on Alexa 35 with Signature Prime and Signature Zoom Lenses by Bhuvan Gowda. So why didnt they use Arri Alexa LF since its such a big scale film he tired it for about 2-3 days but the backgrounds were coming really into focus not the image and he wasnt getting the proper framing.  Finally teaser on July 6th, 1st trailer on December 1st and then 2nd trailer on December 18th finally movie release on December 22nd. Fans loved it, ok for general audience and running successfully.

Welcome to another episode of OTTplay Lost and Found, one podcast that talks about critically acclaimed films but lesser-known. I'm your host Nikhil.The Malayalam film industry has come a long way over the decades with a wide range of films across multiple genres. More recently, the industry has witnessed a renaissance of sorts with a new wave of cinema that has captured the imagination of the people across Kerala and the other states. But the story about the birth of the Malayalam film industry is one of devotion, sacrifice, and tragedy. The 2013 film, Celluloid, directed by Kamal explores the life of J C Daniel, who is widely regarded as the father of Malayalam cinema. The film captures the essence of Daniel's dream to make Kerala's first motion picture in the 1920s. Daniel cast P. K. Rosie as the lead in the film titled, Vigathakumaran. Daniel's dedication to his craft helped him release the film, but it was marred with violent protests by certain sections of society. Daniel's decision to cast P.K. Rosie as its lead was met with intense backlash as she belonged to the lower caste. Society at the time was unable to accept the notion that an actress from the lower caste could essay the role of an upper-caste Nair woman. Rosie was forced to eventually flee from the town and relocate elsewhere, while Daniel was ostracised by the community and forced to lead a destitute life, simply because he decided to cast Rosie in his film. The film stars Prithviraj Sukumaran as J C Daniel, while Mamta Mohandas plays his wife Jannet, and Chandni plays the role of Rosie. Sreenivasan, Ramesh Pisharody, Siddique, and Nedumudi Venu play supporting roles in the film.Celluloid explores themes of casteism and discrimination with its engaging screenplay and immersive narrative. Prithviraj Sukumaran garnered praise for his portrayal of JC Daniel and the role is quite easily regarded as one of his best performances to date. If you haven't watched this flick yet , then do so streaming on MX player.Well that's the OTTplay Lost and Found film for today's episode, until the next podcast it's your host Nikhil signing out.Aaj kya dekhoge OTTplay se poocho

Here's Baradwaj Rangan's review of #BroDaddy directed by #PrithvirajSukumaran starring #Mohanlal, #PrithvirajSukumaran, #Meena, #KalyaniPriyadarshan, #UnniMukundan, #LaluAlex

India Directed by Prithviraj Sukumaran

Today, we're talking about Sachin Kundalkar's 2012 dramedy Aiyyaa which is a remake of the director's own Marathi film Gandha. The quirky comedy headlined by Rani Mukherji follows the story of Meenakshi, a feisty woman who meets various arranged suitors to eventually fall for an artist (played by Prithviraj Sukumaran). Kundalkar's breezy narrative and eccentric characters ensure you're consistently interested and entertained through the film. But more importantly, Kundalkar, who has also helmed feel-good films such as Happy Journey and Gulabjaam, turns the very idea of women being objectified over its head in this film. In Aiyyaa, we get an insight into Meenakshi's desires which she's not afraid of admitting and this refreshing twist makes this film not only an interesting and entertaining watch but also an important one. But some couldn't perhaps accept this alternative lens to a love story where a woman hopes to claim the man of her dreams. Consequently, the film went largely unnoticed, barring a few critics who hailed it as an audacious move. Mukherji completes Meenakshi with an eccentric-yet-adorable streak that was impossible to ignore. While Prithviraj's role was largely peripheral to the central story, the actor seems to be aptly cast and Marathi actor Amey Wagh, who plays Meenakshi's eccentric brother is a strong supporting hand too. The film, in all, packs a crazy ride and makes for a fun watch. You can catch Aiyyaa on numerous OTT platforms such as Netflix, Youtube, Jio, Google Play and iTunes.Alright, that's the hidden gem for today on OTTplay Lost and Found. I shall be back with another podcast soon with a brand new film or show that you haven't watched yet. For now, it's your host Nikhil outta here.
