Not all the time in the history of Malayalam cinema can one witness a star fight of father and son over their release. Malayalam film lovers can witness something like that for this Eid. Dulquer Salmaan's "Vikramadithyan" is getting released for this Eid on 25 July. If the industry sources are to be believed, Mammootty is also gearing up for the release of his new film "Manglish" for Eid. The question is, who will win the hearts this time? Is it Dulquer or Mammootty?
Dulquer will play the character of Adithyan in Lal Jose's new film "Vikramadithyan." The film tells the story of three friends Vikraman (Unni Mukundan), Adithyan (Dulquer Salmaan) and Deepthi Pai (Namitha Pramod). Both Vikraman and Adithyan are born at the same time and the film is about love, hatred and friendship between them. The trailer of the film hints lots of action, dance, music and punchy dialogues, which are going to keep all Dulquer fans on their toes.
"Vikramadithyan" also has Nivin Pauly, Joy Mathew, Anoop Menon and Lena doing pivotal roles. The film is scripted by Iqbal Kuttipuram and the cinematography is handled by Jomon T John. The music is expected to hit the top list as they are composed by Bijipal and the lyrics are written by Vayalar Sarath Chandra Varma, Rafeeq Ahamed, Anil Panachooran, Engadiyoor Chandrasekharan, Santhosh Varma and Manu Manjith. The film is produced by Lal Jose under the banner of L J Films.
Well for Mammootty, this Eid is going to be difficult, as he has to fight with his son this time. Industry insiders say that Mammootty's "Manglish" directed by Salaam Bappu will also be releasing during this Eid. The film also has Dutch actress Caroline Bech in the lead.
