Malayalam super star now in Kannada
Debut
film Love of Audithya
- son of Rajendra Singh Babu has completed 25 days of shooting
at Varanasi and Allahabad and is gonging to Dubai on 9th of
this month with 23 days shooting schedule. Yesterday the producer-director
Rajendra Singh Babu gave a surprise by calling a press meet
at Hotel Lee Meridian. Malayalam super star Mohanlal who took
part in the press meet was the key attraction. Singh Babu
disclosed the suspense that Mohanlal is acting in film Love.
This is not a sudden decision says Babu. Film story starts
from Varanasi and Allahabad and then it moves to Dubai where
the hero and the heroine meet a Malayalam guy who gives a
twist in the film. According to Babu, this character is so
important, without him, hero and heroine won't meet together
and Love will not bloom. Since from the inception of the story
an year back, till the launch of the film Babu was scratching
his head to find a right fit for this role and finally felt,
Mohanlal is the perfect match. But how to contact him and
convince him to act in a Kannada film was big question mark
in front of Babu. Finally, Paal Chandani (producer of Bisi
Bisi) who is the father-in-law of Mohanlal solved the
problem. 4 months back when Mohanlal was here at Bangalore
for a film shoot, Vijayalaxmi Singh - sister of Singh Babu
met him and narrated the story…. he was convinced and that's
it… he accepted to act in Love without any payment! Shall
we say the story made its magic! This is how Mohanlal entering
Kannada filmdom. All this has happened 4 months back but was
kept as secret till yesterday.
It is really good to see a great actor like Mohanlal in Kannada
film. He acted in more than 250 films so far touching all
almost all type of roles and gave many hit films like Kalapani,
Vanaprashtam, Devasuram, Padamudra to Malayalam film industry.
He even acted in Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Hindi films. His
recent Hindi film Company was a successful movie and he won
the best supporting actor award for this. According to him
his role in Love is unique and interesting. Challenging for
Mohanlal here would be speaking Kannada for which he is not
going to take any assistance from dubbing artists.
It's
pretty rare to see the well-known stars of other languages
acting in Kannada films. If people from other languages are
stepping in to Kannada filmdom, there must be something attractive
- may be good story, good technicians, good film troupe or
may be all! Yes, if we concentrate on all these aspects, we
can certainly make good films and can demonstrate our ability
and uniqueness. This reminds the way ace directors like Girish
Kasaravalli and Nagabharana who made actors like Nasirudhin
Shah, Charuhasan (Tabarana Kathe) and Smitha Patil (Anweshane)
act in Kannada film. And now Rajendra Singh Babu shows this
in his son's maiden entry - Love.
