Monster: Mohanlal turns Lucky Singh for his next, shares first look poster

Monster: Mohanlal turns Lucky Singh for his next, shares first look poster

Mohanlal already has many films lined up, and on Wednesday (10), he announced a new film titled Monster. The movie will be directed by Vysakh and produced by Antony Perumbavoor under his banner of Aashirvad Cinemas.

The Malayalam star took to Twitter to make an announcement about the film and share the first look poster. He tweeted, “Unveiling the Title and First Look of my new movie 'Monster' directed by Vysakh, scripted by Udaykrishna and produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. The movie starts rolling today! #Monster #FirstLook @antonypbvr @aashirvadcine.”


Mohanlal is looking quite good in the Sikh avatar, and we are sure his fans will be excited about Monster.

Apart from Monster, Mohanlal has movies like Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham, Alone, Ram, 12th Man, Aaraattu, Barroz: Guardian of D’Gama’s Treasure, Bro Daddy, and L2: Empuraan lined up.

A few days ago, producer Antony Perumbavoor had announced that Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham, Alone, Bro Daddy, and 12th Man will be getting a direct-to-digital release.

While talking about releasing Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham on digital platform, he had stated, “We all were excited to release the movie in the theatre. However, the theatre owners weren’t even interested to discuss our demands. The decision to release the movie (Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham) via the OTT platform was made after getting approval from Mohanlal sir and director Priyadarshan.”

“We held talks with theatre owners and it was decided that the film would be screened for 21 days in theatres. For this, I was asked to get the approval of the theatre owners across the state. However, only 89 theatres agreed to our demands. Now, the theatre owners have informed us that they are not ready to agree to our demands. In such a circumstance, there is no point in releasing the movie in theatres,” he added.

We wonder if even Monster will get a direct-to-digital release.

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."
