Pretham, a movie which disassembled the concepts of horror movies in Malayalam cinema was graced with humour and sheer cinematic brilliance of Ranjit  Sankar’s directorial prowess, the kind of movie which can give you the dark chills like the popular Hollywood movie Conjuring. Jayasurya’s lead role in the movie was one of the most appreciated characters in Malayalam film history, his excellent command and control over his role won hearts all around. For some it brought back the nostalgia and mysticism that Sunny’s (Mohanlal) character in manichitrathazhu once did.

Jayasurya is all set to return to return for the movie’s sequel, Pretham 2. Apprently, Ranjith Sankar will direct the sequel also and Jayasurya will be continuing in his role as John Don Bosco, the expert mentalist. Pretham which released in 2016  had Jayasurya, Govind Padmasoorya, Aju Varghese, Sharaf U Dheen, Dharmajan Bolgatty, Pearle Maaney and Shruthi Ramachandran in significant roles.
According to the updates and speculations till now, the sequel will apparently dive deeper into Jayasurya’s character John Don Bosco. Further, the characters and story for the sequel are in a developing stage and will not be a continuation of the first part. The movie is expected to hit theatres by December this year.

 Aadu 2 producer Vijay Babu announced the release of its sequel Aadu 3 during the 100th-day celebration of Aadu 2. Vijay Babu also dropped a hint about Aadu 3 being in 3D. It looks like Aadu 3 is going to be more than just an entertainer and will be a step ahead from the previous film.

The director of Aadu series, Midhun Manuel understands the pulse of the masses like no one else does. Humour is one thing that doesn’t go out of style and Midhun definitely has a way of playing with it. The film Aadu 2 was a complete entertainer with a good blend of songs, cast and Bgm’s. The lead character from the film Shajipappan, is one of Malayalam film industry’s most appreciated characters. Jayasurya aka Shajipaappan’s look was trending all over Kerala. Be it the flashy double-coloured Mundu (red and black coloured) or the handlebar moustache.

“The film’s series will be out in 2019. The central characters of the movie will be Shaji Pappan and team. There will be new characters joining them”, revealed the director, Midhun Manuel.

Even though Aadu was a box office flop, the film became an instant hit on torrents. The movie got further recognition when its DVD got released. The sequel of Aadu (Aadu2) was a box office hit and compensated for the losses incurred by its prequel. It is very unlikely for a box office flop to get a second sequel in Malayalam film industry.  The mere fact that Jayasurya, Midhun and Vijay Babu are working together again for Aadu 3, is promising enough for many.

The shoot for the film Njan Marykutty has wrapped up and the makers have announced that the movie will be hitting the big screens on June 15. Jayasurya, well known for his extraordinary acting skills, is expected to have come up with a fine performance in this movie. Jewel Mary, Innocent, Joju George, Aju Varghese, and Suraj Venjaramoodu are also part of this movie’s cast. Jayasurya impressed many with his acting chops in movies like Aadu 2, which was a blockbuster and Captain, a sports biopic on the late footballer V P Sathyan. This is yet another time Jayasurya and Ranjith Sankar are uniting for a project.

The teaser of the film was released on March 10 with the tagline of the film “His story is hers too” and needless to say, the teaser has grabbed many eyeballs.

Njan Marykutty will address the issues faced by trans people. Jayasurya looks totally different in the new look proving that there is no end to experimentation in the world of cinema.

The movie has the actor playing Marykutty, a man who is a woman in mind and body, who has gone through a sex change surgery. The actor assured that the movie will not hurt the trans community but will instead be a gift for them. For decades, the members of the trans community have been largely misrepresented in Indian films. They are usually portrayed  as unlikable and vicious characters on the big screen. However, things have been changing with time as some of the leading actors have been changing this perception by choosing to tell the stories of the members of this community. We will have to wait and watch how the film and Jayasurya contribute towards representing trans people.

No Malayali is unfamiliar with Mollywood’s power combination of much loved actor Jayasurya, and Ranjith Sankar, a director who has a number of successful movies on his mantel. Their fourth movie together, Punyalan Private Limited, released this November, as delighted audiences saw the actor revisit the role of Joy Thakolkaaran, from Punyalan Agarbattis.

Conversation with the duo goes as any fan would expect, with Jayasurya being his humorous, yet no nonsense self and Ranjith, with his gravitas, being a perfect foil to the actor. They spoke little about the new movie, believing their work would show for itself when theatres across the land screened it to the public, but were more forthcoming about their creative collaboration, on and off set, and the camaraderie they share with each other in real life.

One is offered a true, but brief, glimpse into the relationship that an actor and director build over the years, perhaps offering a formula for what goes as success in the Malayalam film industry.

Find out who is the bigger foodie between the two, and who is more of a gadget geek; how does Ranjith Sankar go about his shooting schedules, and what would Jayasurya have been doing in a parallel universe. Read about all this and more in the November issue of FWD Life magazine, in stands now.

The post The Lucky Pair – Jayasurya and Ranjith Sankar appeared first on FWD Life | The Premium Lifestyle Magazine |.

Actor Jayasurya is on a foll as he enters a new phase of his movie career with meaningful characters and debutant producer.

EXCERPTS

What prompts you to take up roles in experimental movies?

I suppose it’s my inclination to don new roles and my enthusiasm to contribute for characters that suit my performance level. Before long being in the industry, I got acclimatized being an off-roader. And today that boils down my choice of films. Ultimately, what difference does it make if I decide to play similar roles on-screen time and again?

You’re all set to make your debut as a producer for Ranjith Sankar’s ‘Punnyalan Agarbathis’. How was the transition from an actor to a producer?

My love for movies got me into acting and now again it’s making me step into the shoes of a producer. How I got to be the producer was sheer coincidence. Director Ranjith dropped in with the script, we sat together, discussed and after getting to know my part in ‘Punnyalan Agarbathis’ as Joy Thakkolkaaran, I gladly agreed to do the film. After a while he said, “How about producing it?” Thinking over, I too found it to be an exciting move and so gave the nod.

 Currently unwinding after a busy schedule, how did you spend time with your family?

After a prolonged hectic schedule, I came home with plans of travelling places with my family. But it so happened that I got hitched with meetings. Evenings, if I’m at home I would spend time with Adwaith, my son and my little angel Veda who entertains me with her giggles.

Your share in helping your wife Saritha who is an entrepreneur….

She runs boutiques in Kerala. Whenever I get a break from work I accompany her in picking clothes for her store from all across the country.

Recently, you had disclosed that there are not going to be any Anoop Menon-Jayasurya movie in the next couple of months. Why so?

We are comfortable working with each other and we’re great friends too. But now we reckon being in the comfort zone, sharing screen for long can cause danger. Realising that, Anoop is going ahead with his scripts and movies and I have decided to do films that impress me for its exceptional characters.

A not-so-good memory you’ve had in the industry?

Not-so-good memories are meant to be forgotten. I never take anything personally.

You seem to be a favourite co-star of many Mollywood actresses. How do you maintain the rapport?

With all my co-stars I share a cordial relation that is based on mutual admiration. Be it on the sets or otherwise, I talk to people because I like to and not just for the heck of it.

For those who haven’t watched ‘Thank You’ yet….

It’s a movie with substance and to those who haven’t watched it, I would say it’s a must watch for suspense and thriller movie lovers.

About upcoming projects….

Apart from “Punnyalan Agarbathis”, there is another movie “Philip and the Monkey Pen”. It’s a children’s movie that conveys a valuable message to both parents and children. The movie is directed by Rojan Thomas and Shanil Mohammad and produced by Sandra Thomas. A Tamil movie directed by VK Prakash starring Sethu is also in the pipeline.

 Children’s movie and Jayasurya…..

I found that I could relate to the movie so much. I play the role of a father of a boy who is of my son’s age. As I’m watching him grow, I know children’s behavioural patterns and their thoughts during this age. So when I am getting to be a part of this film, I am sure that I can do justice to this role.
