Mithila Palkar ready to set her foot in Tollywood

Actress Mithila Palkar, who has added a couple of notable films and streaming shows to her credit in a very short span of time, is now ready to set her foot in Telugu cinema.


Most recently seen in Netflix’s film Tribhanga (2021), Palkar has started shooting for her first Telugu film which is yet to get its official title. The untitled film is the official remake of the successful Tamil rom-com, Oh My Kadavule (2020).

Mithila Palkar has been paired opposite Vishwak Sen in the upcoming film. She plays the same role in the remake which actress Ritika Singh essayed in the original film Oh My Kadavule. The actress joined the team on Friday in Hyderabad.

Directed by debutant filmmaker Ashwath Marimuthu, Oh My Kadavule revolved around a man who gets another chance by God to save his marriage after he falls head over heels for another woman.

Apart from Ashok Selvan and Ritika Singh, the film also starred Vijay Sethupathi and Vani Bhojan in important roles. It received positive response from critics and went on to do quite well at the box office, weeks before the coronavirus pandemic hit the whole world.

Ashwath Marimuthu, who directed the original, returns to direct the remake as well. While Vishwak Sen and Mithila Palkar have been confirmed to play the lead pair in the film, the makers are yet to reveal the rest of the cast and crew. Buzz has it that Vijay Sethupathi might reprise his own role from the original. An official announcement is highly awaited though.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
