Selvamani, who is known for controversial films based on the current affairs of our nation, is ready with ‘Pulanvisaranai – 2’. As expected, the movie has met with a lot of problems when it was sent for censorship.

The movie is based on petrol issue and the director is believed to have made many sensational and controversial observations on the issue. Censor board members keenly watched each and every scene keeping the track record of the director in mind and they found many scenes objectionable. When they said they wanted many scenes and dialogues removed or changed, Selvamani got upset and argued with the members.

It is worth recalling that Selvamani’s previous movie ‘Kutra Pathirigai’ too encountered severe problems in the process of censorship. The movie, based on the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, was rejected by the board but Selvamani got the permission to release the film by approaching the court

Now the tug of war between censor board and Selvamani over ‘Pulanvisaranai – 2’ has begun. However, it might not be a big problem for the director, who is used for such tussles.

Karthik Thirunal Karthikeyan was supposed to be Mohanlal’s big-budget film slated for release this Onam. The movie , directed by T. Suresh Babu, stars three female leads -- Padmapriya, Namitha and Parvathy Melton. The latest buzz is that Mohanlal has backed out of the project as he done a similar role before.

Mohanlal has several other films in the pipeline and we need to wait and watch as to which Mohanlal starrer would make it to theatres this Onam.

The new venture by T S Suresh Babu ‘Karthika Thirunal Karthikeyan' featuring, Mohanlal in the lead will start its shooting by the sixth of February.
Mohanlal will join the movie by the tenth of April. The superstar is presently in the Sathyan Anthikkad film, after which he will complete his portions in AMMA's multistarrer 'Twenty-Twenty'.
'Karthika Thirunal Karthikeyan' will feature three heroines-Parvathy Milton, Padmapriya and Namitha.
The film's music department will also be special with four music directors giving music to the lyrics of four famous lyricists. M G Radhakrishanan, Alex Paul, Alphonse and Deepak Dev will set tunes to the lyrics written by O N V, Shibu Chakrabarthy, Sreekumaran Thampy and Chunakkara Ramankutty.
The film will be another crucial one in the career of Mohanlal who have just completed half a dozen flops in a row, with the latest release ‘College Kumaran'.
