Prithviraj taking Mollywood to the next level

Prithviraj Sukumaran, the stylish hunk of Mollywood is slowly emerging as the face of the Malayalam film industry in front of global audiences. The actor has been choosy in selecting scripts over the past few years, and many of his films including 'Adam Joan' and 'Ivide' were made with Hollywood standards. The case of 'Ranam' is no different, and the recently released teasers and trailers indicate that this Nirmal Sahadev directorial is a raw movie based on mafia gang wars in Detroit.

Prithviraj Sukumaran has already proved his mettle in delivering powerful English dialogues with perfection, and we have witnessed his versatility in movies like 'Ivide'. As 'Ranam' narrates an action-based story in the backdrop of Detroit, Prithviraj's stylish English dialogue delivery is something to look forward to.

Nirmal Sahadev's uncompromising cinematic language

Even though born in Thrithala, a small village in Palakkad, Nirmal Sahadev completed his graduation from New York Film Academy in filmmaking. The teasers and songs released recently were made with international standards, and the director is expected to show the same magic when the film hits the theaters.

It should be also noted that Nirmal Sahadev was the chief associate director in Shyamaprasad's 'Ivide' which was also exclusively shot in the United States. As Nirmal is Shyamaprasad's disciple, audiences can expect an uncompromising cinematic language in 'Ranam'.

The unquestionable Rahman factor

Rahman was once the heartthrob of the Mollywood audiences, and after a long hiatus, he entered Mollywood with a bang through with Mammootty's 'Black'. Since then, the actor has portrayed various stylish characters and 'Ranam' is expected to be such a film which will showcase Rahman in the sleekiest avatar.

As per reports, Rahman will be seen portraying the role of a mafia don from Tamil Nadu in this movie. The major highlight of this film will undoubtedly be the on-screen chemistry between Prithviraj and Rahman, two Mollywood style icons.

Jakes Bejoy's music

Jakes Bejoy's rap music is another major highlight of 'Ranam'. The theme music of this movie which was released recently has already emerged as a chartbuster, and close sources to the film revealed that the musician has scored some enigmatic background score for this flick.
