Manju Warrier, one of the finest actors in Malayalam cinema, gave a Kuchipudi performance at the Melpathoor auditorium in Guruvayoor after 14 years, on October 24.

Though filmmakers Sathyan Anthikkad and Ranjith were present on the occasion, her husband Dileep was not there.

The rumour is that she will soon make her comeback in a film directed by a prominent director.

Now, that could be a reason to celebrate for the incredible actor's fans.

Giri Giri in Malayalam

A great news for the sitcom fans of Akkarakkazhchakal. After Josukutty Valiyakallumkal, who plays the Achayan in the film, appeared in other films including Pradeep Nair's forthcoming film Cherukkanum Pennum, his likeable assistant Giri Giri will be seen in director Martin Prakkat's ABCD.

Akkarakkazhchakal is a funny take on the lives of American Malayalis. It became very popular on the Internet.

Jacob Gregory, who plays the character called Giri Giri, will team up with Dulquer Salmaan in ABCD.

The shooting of the film is currently going on at Kochi.

Prathap Pothen is back with a bang

Pratap Pothan is well known as an actor and also a filmmaker, but has been missing from action in Malayalam films in recent years.

He has revived his career after two spectacular roles. His performance as the baddie in 22 Female Kottayam was well appreciated and now, he is perhaps the best thing about Lal Jose' recently released film, Ayalum Njanum Thammil.

He plays a senior doctor in the film, who makes a tremendous impact on the life of a junior doctor played by Prithviraj.

Prathap Pothen will soon be playing another important character in Three Dots, directed by Sugeeth.

The Ordinary director's forthcoming film will have Kunchacko Boban, Biju Menon and Tamil actor Janani Iyer, along with Prathap Pothen.
