Arre baba Pushp, aap to mujhe galat samjhe yaar!Whos judging an actor by his face here yaar?? If so,we mallus woudnt have admired a Thilakan or a Nedumudi Venu or a Bharat Gopi or a Balan K.Nair and made their movies hits!!
But ofcourse, since u r in the process of "discovering" Lal, let me tell u, that we Mallus who had discovered him ages ago, have already seen Lal, (and for that matter Mammootty too) running around trees umpteen times. Since then, both of them had moved on to doing meatier stuff on screen, won a few National awards, and had done the Malayali proud with their talents. However, the last few years saw these actors doing a total volte-face with regard to their choice of films, that left a lot to be desired. Result?? Most of these films bombed at the box-office.
U should remember that u were urged on to this process if "discovery" after u saw a lovely performance of Lal. But if u had seen Thandavam, (a recent release of Lal, since u r a "non-mallu")u wouldnt have dared to go on this discovering adventure. Likewise if u saw Phantom, a recent release of Mammootty, u wouldnt want to know more about this actor either. The point is, they have been doing bad movies of late, and no one, I repeat, NOONE, chalenges the fact these two are the BEST actors that we have ever produced. We only hope that we get to see more of their histrionic abilities on screen, and not the faltu stuff, that we have been seeing for some time now.
LOL @ S!!! :-)) That was whacky!! Dunno whether its true or not, though! ;-)

Could you please tell me, why you "mallus" are admiring actors like Shankar, Rehman, Vineeth, Kuchako Boban etc... Based on their acting skills or looks ?????
Aap ka kya jawab hai..

Probably neither their acting skills nor looks - they have acted in sensible films, which became hits, and those films that cashed in on their "looks" badly crashed. Remember the umpteen flops of all these actors?? And again, if looks alone mattered for us mallus, then why did Prithviraj's debut film sink like the Titanic?
But I should say that for someone coming from North India, u r quite well informed about the Mallu film industry. U know almost all the actors down here yaar!! I guess actors like Shankar & Rehman should be flattered that they are known across the country - even in Punjab!!

SKN, are you serious about that news regarding a possible reteaming of Mohanlal and Ram Gopal Varma for his next Hindi film? If so, can you elaborate? I can't get vellinakshatram through my server, or else i would have investigated myself. Does anyone else know about this? Is the movie they're talking about "Ek"? Please post any and all info you can get.

MohanLal filed a case against RGV since he was not given the full amount of his fees. This news came in all newspapers.
I donot know whether they have settled that dispute. Without settling that will they go for another one ?

Even I thought so MFF; maybe some sort of discussion was going on regarding that, as RGV's Darna Mana Hai is getting ready for release, and mebbe he doesnt want to get into trouble, like he did when MohanLal filed that complaint agaisnt him when Road was released. RGV can very well afford to pay off the money that he owes Lal, if any, now, since Bhoot has turned out to be a money-spinner.

lal is there along with amitabh in the latest varma film titled "MPower". RGV came down to ottappalam for discussion with lala nd lal has agreed to act in tht film.

I hope the case is that the discussion between RGV and Mohanlal in ottappalam had to do with "Ek" and not the disputes involving payment. That would be so great for Lal, who just from seeing "Company" we know vibes well with RGV. For anyone with additional info, please post! Links, sources, whatever.
