Cutting out one self
By: Ms Radhika Nair

Prithviraj Prithviraj is just one picture old and his huge cutouts are jetting into the sky in major cities in the state. You know what people say in town? 'It is self promotional work got sponsored by near and dear'. Jealousy. This is what we call jealousy. Isn't it?

'NAKSHATRAKKANNULLA RAJAKUMARAN...' is the only film of his so far released. Though not a hit it just passed through commercial circuit without loss.

His NANDANAM is awaiting release. It is in this background the posters of 'violence' appeared in city skylines with Pritviraj's big size pictures. Saji Soman a co-star introduced in this film is not shown in the poster is the next argument in support of the first statement. But what exactly happening in the city skylines is exciting.

It is flex signboard revolution taking place in Kerala. The signboards are brought from Chennai and Bangalore. It's expensive. Nearly Rs 50000! Corporation authorities charge Rs 10000 as tax. Film producers are showing way to others. A number of recent films had shifted to flex way of advertisements.

Meanwhile Prithviraj is offered a role by director Bhadran in one of the three films he is planning. Bhadran with his off beat films like 'AYYAR THE GREAT', 'SPHADIKAM', 'OLYMPIAN ANTHONY ADAM' is good at conceiving ideas and is banking on junior stars. He had so far cast only Mammootty and Mohanlal in his films.

But now he has decided to look down below super star level and as a result had cast Dileep in his film "GUNTA'. Obviously Dileep is replacing Mohanlal. Bhadran had planned a project named 'SWARNAM' with Mohan lal in the lead.
