Mohanlal had a cameo appearance in Mammootty’s film Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty (2013). However, their last film together was Twenty:20, which released in 2008.
Despite Mohanlal’s strong track record this year, with ‘L2: Empuraan’ and ‘Thudaram’ crossing Rs 200 crore, ‘Hridayapoorvam’ fell short against ‘Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra’.
Thudarum has heavily leaned in on the nostalgia of the Mohanlal-Shobana pairing. One of the film’s posters features an AI-generated version of their younger selves.
The movie shows a Muslim-majority village being attacked by a Hindu mob, and a pregnant Muslim woman being raped by a Hindu man. This seems to be a reference to the Bilkis Bano case.
The report is just a start. It remains to be seen if the film industry can do the painful work of starting from scratch, and rebuilding itself to be equitable and safe for all workers.
IAF is firming up plans to revamp airlift capabilities with medium transport aircraft that will be assembled in India & serve as its main workhorse. Embraer is leading contender as of now.
