Who movie team presented an official tribute video to the great musician Teho Teardo
The song is about pursuing a new future by outgrowing the past, and to sort out a new identity within an individual. This video looks creative and a cherry on the top is the potrayal of Shruthy Menon, Pearle Maaney, Shine Tom Chacko and Rajeev Pillai.
Who is a science fiction movie based on the thought of dream interpretation with value on magic realism. Time travel is another significant aspect of the movie.

But in the meanwhile she was also into anchoring TV shows, which later on got her into movies.For the FWD photo shoot she arrives along with Rajeev Pillai and shares with us more about her projects in hand.
Excerpts
What makes you say that you are not happy with the roles offered in the Malayalam industry?
As a fresher I am happy with roles offered to me in Malayalam. But I think I am getting better roles in Tamil.
Offers from other ‘woods’…..
Discussions are on and I’m going through a variety of scripts.
What can audience look for in the movie ‘Weeping Boy’?
It’s a movie that carries a social message, a significant one. It doesn’t get preachy, nor does it deviate into the sermonizing mode. The film is the directorial debut of Felix who tries to convey a message on social commitment. It has Sreenivasan playing the lead role. The shoot is scheduled to begin by May 20 at Pollachi.
Your role in the movie ‘Hangover’….
‘Hangover’ is a comedy-thriller based on the life of four friends, starring Bhagath, Maqbool Salman, Shine, Archana Gupta. It’s Sreejith Sukumaran’s (Associate director of Kamal) directorial debut. The movie comes with the tagline of “Avasinikkune illa” (The Hangover doesn’t end). The shoot is on. My role is suspense.
Prefer character/glamour roles…..
I like to try different roles and I would prefer to do more glamorous characters.
Fitness mantra
Absolutely no diet restrictions, but whenever I get time I work on treadmill for an hour or more. On seeing my favourite dish…. I wouldn’t abstain from it saying, ‘Oh! I will put on weight’.
How would you dress for an award night?
Until recently it was me who handled my wardrobe, but lately I have a stylist who decides what I should be wearing for events. But personally, I would like to be in a sari, adorned with junk jewellery. As I’m not a lover of gold, I prefer to be accessorized in artificial dingly dangly accessories.
If a man suspiciously follows you in the dark, what would you do?
For sure I won’t get into an argument with him. If it’s a deserted place I would manage to move over to a public place where there are people around or try to ring up my brother, who usually accompanies me when I go out. Though he is younger to me, whether I have to go out late, he is my bodyguard.
Do you like to travel?
When I was a student, during my vacations I used to visit hill stations and so far I have been to Kodaikanal, Ootty, Munnar. I like to travel and lately after watching a Bollywood movie, I wish to visit Spain someday.
Are you a movie buff?
I wasn’t. During my school days I have hardly watched four or five films, the first being ‘Ee Purazhayum Kadannu’. But as I got into anchoring, I realized how important it was for me to update my movie knowledge. And now after entering the industry, whenever I get time, I watch films.

He is killing in front of the camera. He knows how to be rugged and let the camera droll over him. With him I am on the sun kissed sands of Marari Beach for a photo shoot. And as the lights and cameras get set, the model turned actor is so with it, buffing up his ripped muscles and yes when it comes to posing for a hot shoot, there is none other than him whose disarming casualness turns refreshing. Yes, Rajeev Pillai is murderously good looking, and now as he is getting ready for the shoot, let me find out more about his upcoming projects from the actor himself.
Excerpts
You’ve bagged your first lead role in Bollywood. How is it going?
Yes, the shoot of ‘Gurudhakshina’ by director Kiran Phadnik will begin by May 25 at locations in and around Kolkota and Tibet. The shoot is going to be exciting and some of the spots are believed to be inhabited by naxalites. The movie is based on something like a triangular love story, with some unusual twists and dramas.
Upcoming Malayalam projects down the line….
‘Second Innings’ by director Shanoo has Aju Varghese, Ayishka and Richa Panayi, I play the lead role as an orphan. It’s a romance-drama movie that portrays the unexpected unpleasantness that occurs in one’s life. Vinod Bharati is the cinematographer and lyrics tuned by Stephen Devassy. Next movie is ‘1983’ by debut director Abrid Shine starring Nivin Pauly and Anoop Menon. The title says it all; this is the year India won the World Cup.
Being busy in the glamour world, how confident are you now as a dentist…..
Though I am concentrating more on biceps than on forceps, I would still say that I am confident in my profession. Once you have learnt something, you can’t forget it that easily. But for me in the current situation, it’s not possible to be in the clinic all the time.
What is your criterion while choosing a film?
The role which I am being offered must be good. But there are some people to whom I am obliged to. Lijo Pellissery, director Diphan are some of them for whom I would do any role without thinking twice, as they are the ones who have encouraged and tried to lift me up in the industry.
Were you disheartened with your performance in CCL3…
I’m not at all disappointed. In spite of having professional cricketers like Rakendu, I am happy that I was able to play well and be Kerala Strikers’ top scorer.
As Sachin Tendulkar turns 40…..
I’m running short of words. He is the one who has made cricket in India a celebration. I pray that God bless him with good health to play for India at least for the next five years.
Audience say that you’ve a set range of facial expressions….what do you have to say about it?
I have been only a part of two movies by now. How can they judge me based on that? I have been told, ‘You have to change your physique. How can you act with muscles?’ And during times of cricket club practise before CCL, I have heard some say, ‘his batting is just a fluke’. I am happy that I proved them wrong. Give me time to prove myself in the industry. My muscles have nothing to do with my acting.
Fittest actor or actors in Malayalam industry……
Mammootty sir, Unni Mukundan, Manikuttan
Self-help acting home work……
However busy my schedule is, every day I spend an hour before the mirror working on emotions, imitating facial expressions of actors who has a similar facial structure to that of mine.

You get tempted to…..
That’s cricket. Whatever I am engaged in, if I see a match on TV, I put an end to everything and watch it.
What disturbs your peace?
Backstabbing
Close friends call you…
Friends call me ‘Rajeev’ and for my folks I’m ‘Ani’.
