Malayalam Director In Talks To Direct Sony Pictures' 'Shaktimaan' Trilogy
Mumbai, October 20 - It has been nearly 8 months since Sony Pictures India in association with Mukesh Khanna's Bheeshm International, and Brewing Thoughts Private Limited announced big screen adaptation of the popular television superhero show Shaktimaan.



Ever since the announcement, the makers have been searching for a director to helm this trilogy, and it seems they have finally found the one. According to Pinkvilla, Malayalam director Basil Joseph, who directed the critically acclaimed desi superhero movie "Minnal Murali", is in the advance talks to helm "Shaktimaan" trilogy.



The report says that Basil is himself a huge Shaktimaan fan and has shown keen interest in directing this film.



"The director has already met the Shaktimaan team multiple times and is keen to come on board the film. The producers have asked Basil to come up with his own version of the screenplay to know if he is on the same wavelength as the team on the visual and story-telling front", Pinkvilla reports.



The "Shaktimaan" trilogy will be made on a huge budget and the makers are looking for the best artists to come on board the film. The makers are believed to be in talks with several directors and Basil is the front-runner to be at the helm of affairs, as all the meetings have met with a positive response.



Meanwhile, the makers are yet to lock in the lead actor to play this iconic role which made the childhood of the 90s kids awesome. Ranveer Singh has been approached and he is currently being considered to play "Shaktimaan". The first part of the trilogy is likely to go on floors by 2023.

Malvi Malhotra: You can never guess the climax of Jenma Natchathiram

Chennai, July 19 - All it took was Oru Nodi for Malvi Malhotra to say yes to Jenma Natchathiram. Quite literally. She saw the 2023 Taman Aakshan-starrer and was impressed, and it was on the same day she signed Jenma Natchathiram, headlined by him. ## Having debuted in Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu and Punjabi projects, the horror-thriller marks Malvi's Tamil debut. "I couldn't have asked for a better role as I am there throughout the film's runtime. The story unfolds through my eyes. I play Riya, a sweet and simple girl who has ghosts scaring her in her dreams. Whether her dreams become a haunting reality or not forms the crux of the film. ## Elaborating on the film and its script, Malvi underlines, "You can never guess the film's climax. That's how intricate and layered the script is. It is gripping, and every character has an important role in it. I have not worked on this genre before. ##

Who is that Queen #sidharthshukla? #sidhearts." And Sidharth, as usual, gave credit to his mom as he wrote, "I would have never replied to that ... but cause I did for your previous one .. one more for you ..... QUEEN is the one who raised ME".## I would have never replied to that ... but cause I did for your previous one .. one more for you .....
