Bengali comes to learn Malayalam
Bollywood production house, Planman Motion Pictures all set to remake its bengali films in Malayalam language
It seems bollywood seems to have woken up to Malayalam language as their next potential to explore audience and new genre of films. Planman Motion Pictures headed by Arindham Choudhary is all set to remake its first English flick The Last Lear in Malayalam directed by well-known Bengali director Rituparno Ghosh.
Big B
The Last Lear starring Amitabh Bhachan, Preity Zinta and Arjun Rampal in lead roles, will be released worldwide on September 5th. “The movie will be going to be all time classic in Indian Cinema. The movie is an amalgamation of legends of Indian Cinema like Amitabh Bachan and director Rituparno Ghosh. For the first time they have come together to work in an English film. Director Ghosh who has worked with almost all the superstars in bollywood is quite happy that at last he worked with Big B. He took almost three years to prepare a script like The Last Lear, which was screened at various prestigious international film festivals. The Last Lear is a lone movie to get a Best Film Award in Canada Film Festival. Even though the movie stars Indian actors it didn’t fall of from the expectations of audience,” says producer Arindham Choudhary.
Remake in Malayalam
The Last Lear is a completely shot in English, which speaks of an ageing actor who was forced to act on the stage and on the films ignoring his likes. “The movie is powerful in all of its terms. And if we exhibit the movie in any part of India, I think it would do well. Ghosh is very much considerable with Malayalam cinema. We both thinking of remaking the film in Malayalam for the southern audience. Going by the content of this film, I think audience in Malayalam would definitely like it much better than Hindi speaking region. The movie has lot of drama and emotions in it,” says producer Arindham Choudhary.
