Success breeds successors
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,October 14 2005]
Success has many takers. It indeed is so in Malluwood.
Many hits are now spawning sequels. And they are coming as if on an assembly line.
The recent hit Bharatchandran IPS itself was a sequel to Suresh GopiÂs earlier hit Commissioner.
We need not say anything new about Nerariyan ---CBI Diary Kuripuu-4.
Jayaraj's By the People was a sequel to 4 the People--- but didnÂt work.
The shooting of the second part of Priyadarshan's Kilukkam titled Kilukkam Kilukilukkam is progressing at a fast clip. Directed by Sandhya Mohan, the film will see Mohanlal appear in a guest role as Joji, the tourist guide --- a role that he became famous with in the original.
Renji Panikkar and Suresh Gopi are said to be coming together for the second part of Lelam where the latter plays Chakochi, the liquor bar on.
The second part of Thommanum Makkalum, directed by Shafi and produced by Lal Creations, is said to be on the cards. Thommanum Makkalum was a super hit with Mammootty and Lal in the main roles.
