MALLANNA… Yeah! This is the title of the new movie that is launched on 24 September, 2007 in Prasad Labs of Hyderabad. But what makes it special? Well, the movie stars one of my all time favorite actors VIKRAM and beautiful SHRIYA in the lead… So, it is a killer combination… Don’t you agree? What else is interesting about this movie? It is a Bi-lingual. If anyone of you are not aware of the term… it is just that the movie will be made in a couple of languages. In this case Tamil and Telugu. There will be no problems that arise out of dubbing a Tamil movie into Telugu or Vice-Versa. And, the movie is conceptualized and being directed by Susi Ganesh. He worked with Mani Ratnam in the past. And according to Vikram, Susi Ganesh is a perfect combination of Mani Ratnam and Shankar. And I believe his take on him… The reason being the Promo, Teaser or Trailer… what ever you call it. Just watch this magnificent trailer and tell me if you disagree…
Did you watch it? What do you say? Simply fabulous… isn’t it? Anyway, the extravagant launch was attended by Dasari Narayana Rao, DVS Raju, K. Raghavendra Rao, Ramesh Prasad, C. Kalyan, Susi Ganesh, Ekambaram, Devi Sri Prasad, Priyamani, Kaveri, Vikram, Shriya and Kalaipuli Thanu. The Tamil version is called Kanthaswamy (Lord Muruga) and the Telugu version is called Mallanna (Lord Shiva). According to Susi Ganesh, the movie has a social message and will especially be liked by kids and youth as the movie is being crafted on a Hollywood scale… Moreover the lead actor Vikram is appearing in various getups heightening the curiosity factor. The movie would be ready for release in April, 2008.
According to DVS Raju, Kalaipuli Thanu specializes in getting everybody’s attention with extravagant acts. He always make sure that his films are special. And that the trailer of Mallanna reminds him of Hollywood trailers. And according to Vikram this extravagant invitation is just the tip of the iceberg and also the trailers of Mallanna sparked tremendous response. He says, Kalaipuli Thanu is also called as Publicity King back in Chennai. And that Mallanna will be another feather in his cap after Siva Putrudu and Aparichitudu.
