According to V Z Durai who directed Nepali with Bharath and Meera Jasmine as lead stars the response to the film has been satisfactory and he owes this success to his entire crew from the lead actors to editor to music director Srikanth Deva. Durai was much pleased with Meera Jasmine’s cooperation in the intimate scenes with Bharath. On a different note the director reveals that he is very much interested in music and has sung a song in Nepali. He also adds that he has even worked in front of the camera in a few films.
As part of Nepali’s audio release at the Sathyam theatre, invitees were treated to a song sequence. Everyone present came out feeling that the song was very special. It shows Bharath and Meera Jasmine in a sensuous song that has been tastefully and atmospherically shot. The tune by Deva is marvelously melodious and contemporary (a little unlike the usual Deva tune), the memorable lyrics are by Yuga Bharathi and the playbacks are Bombay Jayashree and Karthik.New Year is common for all for that gives us a fresh feel to start new works and that goes well with filmy-units. Now we have around 6 Malayalam ready to fly out of cans for this January, but one thing that haunts Mollywood is superstitions. There is a bounding superstitious belief among Mollywood filmmakers that the movies released during first January would be a sure flop.
The movies ready for January releases are Shaji Kailas’ Suresh Gopi-starrer Sound of Boot, Jayaraj’s youthful Of the People, Thulaseedas’ College Kumaran with Mohanlal in title role, Renji Panicker’s Mammootty-starrer Rowdram and East Coast Vijayan’s debut film, the Jayaram-Sada starrer Novel. Now we have to wait and see which filmmaker does break the superstitious beliefs and goes for first releasing their movie.
