Model and Actress Shwetha Menon playing the heroine role to Mohanlal in Aakasagopuram, an offbeat film of Mohanlal .Shwetha, a former Miss India-Asia Pacfic appeared in few films in Malayalam and Hindi and currently busy in modeling.

Cycle, pedaling fast !
The recent release "Cycle" starring Vineeth Sreenivsan, Bhama, Sandhya and Vinu mohan in lead is getting good reviews across the state and this racy comedy flick might create a new trend in malayalm movies. Jagathy Sreekumar, Murali, Sai Kumar, Cochin Haneefa, Shammi Thilakan in the star cast of Cycle film. The young new comer Vineeth and others carry the movie on their young shoulders. Script writer James Albert and Director Johnny Antony combination worked well. James Albert was the script writer of "Classmates". Well, we hope that the success of this film might give producers a new courage to start films with newcomers.

Gopika, a new addition in Annan Thambi :
Director Anwar Rasheed's Annan Thambi film with Mammootty as the hero is fast proceeding in Pollachi. To the surprise, Gopika has been signed for the heroine role now, another heroine is Lakshmi Rai. Mammootty playing dual role in this movie. So, Gopika and Laskhmi rai are the pairs for Annan and Thambi. Remember, Gopika - Mammootty starrer Mayavai was a great success at box office. Gopika celebrated her birthday last week, a birthday gift by the director ?

Malayalam script attracts whole India 
The Malluwood super hit movie Kadha Parayumbol starring Mammootty, Sreenivasan and Meena in the lead is attracting all the Indian film industries. The film is already started remaking in Tamil and Telugu. Rajnikanth, Pasupathi and Meena playing the lead roles in Tamil, whereas Rajni, Jagapathi Babu, Meena / Tabu playing in Telugu. Now, the latest news is, the movie would be remake in Hindi too. The badshah of bollywood Shah Rukh khan is interested with script and as per the sources he is ready to produce and act in the movie. OK, who is going to direct ? For the surprise, Multi-lingual director Priyadarshan would direct the film, Priyadarashan showed Shahrukh the original Malayalam film and the superstar was impressed with story line and the characters of mammootty and srinivasan. So, there is a much possibility that Shahrukh and Priyadarshan would do the film in Hindi. Already Manichithrtahz and other malayalam movies had been remaked in Hindi. Through this news, we can come to a conclusion that Writer Srinivasan has dominated the Actor Srinivasan.

Super hit Hero & Super flop Hero : 
Prithviraj is the hot young hero in malayalam & tamil who simultaneously giving success in both the languages. On the other hand Jayaram is also a bi-lingual hero, but his recent films not doing well in the box office. Eventhough he is not the only person to be blamed for the flops, his selection on the scripts is bad. Prithviraj is currently doing Vellithirai in Tamil and the film getting ready for release. In Malayalam he is doing Thalappavu, and another new film with Director Shafi, Rafi-Mecartin as script writers, the movie will be launched soon . He gradually rising his career towards the Top star post. All the best Prithvi. Jayaram's latest film Novel with Sada was also a flop. Jayaram presently doing tamil movie as police officer in "Saroja" directed by Venkat Prabhu. Jayaram's comedy movie Paarthan Kanda Paralaokam is in progress and directed by Anil. Another film of Jayaram is with actress Gopika, the film will start rolling from Feb 15th and direction by a new comer Akku akbar. Gopika is a lucky star in malluwood, we hope atleast the luck of Gopika will help Jayaram to give a super hit film. All the best Jayaram. 

Gopiettan is no more :
Veteran Malayalam movie actor Bharath Gopi is no more, Bharath popularly known as "Gopiettan" to malayalees. Bharat gopi was hospitalized last week after heart attack while in the shooting spot of "Dey Engotu Nokiya". Gopi made his first film with Adoor Gopalakrishnan debut movie "Swayamvaram" in 1972. He won National award as best Actor for Kodiyettam film. Gopi acted in nearly 100 films and produced a few movies. Padhyam starring Mammootty was produced by Gopi. As per mammootty 'His space can never be filled'. That's true.

Anwar Rasheed the luckiest director :
Anwar Rasheed seems to be the luckiest director in Mollywood. He is doing movies with super stars just like that. After Rajamanikam with Mammootty, at present Anwar directing "Annan thambi" again with Mammootty in lead and the film is due for Vishu.
