ÂPazhassi Raja for this Onam?
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,June 06 2008]
The magnum opus from M T Vasudevan Nair-Hariharan - Mammooty team, ÂPazhassi Raja is continuing with its shoot in small schedules for more than a year.
The movie is based on the real life epic of Kerala Varma ÂPazhassi Raja of the Padinjare Kovilakom, the first ruler to rise in revolt against the British rule. He battled with the British in protest against the unpopular revenue policy followed by the East India Company in Malabar.
This epoch making historical movie expected to get completed in a whooping eight crore budget has a great cast that includes Mammootty, Sarath Kumar, Suman, Thilakan, Nedumudi Venu, Jagathy Sreekumar, Captain Raju, Lalu Alex, Manoj K Jayan, Biju Menon, Kalabhavan Mani, Hary Richards, Suresh Krishna, Subair, Siddique, Roshan, Manikuttan, Kanika, Padmapriya, Urmila Unni,and Valsala Menon.
The movie that will be released simultaneously in Malayalam, Tamil and English versions, still needs a shooting of around 25 days before getting completed.
The producer Gokulam Gopalan and his crew are now planning to hold continuous shoots to get the movie into theatres by this Onam. With this biggest festival season of Kerala, still two months away, this may not be an improbable chance.
