InterviewSabumon, who was the winner of Malayalam ‘Bigg Boss’ last year, is in Lijo's upcoming film 'Jallikattu' and many more.Cris Sabumon Abdusamad first acted in a film in 2002, which was also one of Prithviraj’s early films - Nakshathrakkannulla Rajakumaran Avanundoru Rajakumari. More than 10 years later, he was acting in his third film Punyalan Agarbattis.

Those of us who are die-hard fans of Malayalam director Lijo Jose Pellissery were wondering how he would ever follow up his experimental crime thriller Eratta Kuzhal/Double Barrel. Last fall came the announcement of Angamaly Diaries: produced by Vijay Babu's Friday Film House (Philips and the Monkey Pen, Aadu), written by actor Chemban Vinod Jose (who has been in all of Pellissery's films), with music by Prashant Pillai (the composer for all of Ljp's films as well) and cinematography by Gireesh Gangadharan (Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi, Kali, Guppy). A casting call for the film revealed the news that Ljp had decided to go with 86 newcomers in the film, and the film seems set to rely on "pukka local" flavour to set the tone. Angamaly Diaries is...

Idi: Inspector Dawood Ibrahim is another debut film in Malayalam cinema, this time from first-time director Sajid Yahiya and writer Arouz Irfan -- both of whom have paid their dues in the industry, Yahiya as an actor (most notably in Bangalore Days and Double Barrel), Irfan as an assistant director (for films like Friday and Amen). They were looking for an actor who hadn't really pitched his tent in the action category, and initially had cast Asif Ali -- but when he pulled out of the film, they approached Jayasurya to take on the role of a police inspector who perhaps is not quite as suited to that role as he should be -- the trailer certainly offers up some hints of this. I have...

India has no shortage of unofficial remakes and ripoffs in its long history, but a recent trend of authorized remakes continues with Timecrimes' rights having been secured, I'm pretty excited.Prithviraj is a major name in Malayalam cinema, and he uses his stature to get some pretty interesting films made. Recently he starred in Lijo Jose Pellissery's Double Barrel, and before that he starred as South Indian beefcake in Rani Mukherjee's Aiyyaa.

Here at Twitch we try to cover films from as many regions as possible, but I will admit that the bulk of our Indian film coverage goes toward the three biggest Industries: Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu language films. Once in a while, though, something will squeak through from the other regional cinemas that looks too good to ignore. This time around, it's a film from Mollywood, the Malayalam language film industry headquartered in Kerala, India.Double Barrel is an upcoming comedy thriller from director Lilo Jose Pellissery, a relative newcomer to the Malayalam film scene with an impressive track record over the last five years. The film stars big regional stars (and brothers) Prithviraj and Indrajith Sukumaran as well as Tamil film performer Arya. I don't...
