Kerala Film Body Warns Fahadh Faasil After Consecutive OTT Releases

The Film Exhibitors United Organisation of Kerala (FEUOK) has time and again warned actors for releasing their movies on OTT platforms. After expressing disappointment over Mohanlal's decision of releasing "Drishyam 2" on Amazon Prime Video, the film body has now given an ultimatum to Fahadh Faasil that his films will not be allowed to release in theatres if he continues to release his films on OTT platforms. ## The warning from Kerala Film Body came after Faasil's three movies released directly on the OTT platforms which is a big setback for theater owners. He first released the shot-from-home lockdown thriller "C U Soon" on Amazon Prime Video. It was, however, released during the peek of the pandemic on 1 September 2020, which left no choice for makers but to make it available directly on OTT. ## Though, "C U Soon" released when theaters were closed, recently, two of his films "Irul" (April 2) and "Joji" (April 7) were also released on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video respectively despite the fact that theatres have opened up now in Kerala and elsewhere, including all the southern states.## The FEUOK members are of the stand that they would not allow Fahadh's upcoming movies in theatres if he continues to cooperate with OTT platforms. Actor Dileep and producer B Unnikrishnan had talked with Fahadh Faasil over the phone regarding the matter and warned him that his upcoming big-budgeted, Malik, which is scheduled to release on Eid, will not be allowed to hit theaters if he does not support theaters. ## The Film Organization has requested Faasil to take a decision at the earliest. The actor's decision, however, is awaited. Meanwhile, the Film Body has also decided not to screen Mohanlal's "Drishyam 2" in theaters. It was speculated that Jeethu Joseph might be released in theaters later after the OTT release. ## Stay tuned...

Sidharth Malhotra Is A Wonderful Guy And Has Always Been There For Me, Says Rashmika Mandanna About Her Mission Majnu Co-Star

Actress Rashmika Mandanna, who is called "National Crush" by her fans, is currently shooting for her Bollywood debut film, "Mission Majnu". The talented actress has been paired with Sidharth Malhotra, who made his debut in 2012 with "Student of The Year" and has almost a decade-long experience to go about things in the Bollywood film industry. ## Rashmika, who is sharing screen space with Sidharth for the first time, has already some nice things to say about him. "He is my senior and a wonderful guy. He has often guided me on the use of the dialect we have to speak in the film and has also helped me nail my performance. When I perform a scene, I always look out for what my co-actor feels. I need to see whether my emotions strike a chord with him or her. If they react in the right manner, then I know I will be able to convey those emotions to the audience, too", she said to a leading daily. ## "Sidharth, in that sense, has always been there for me. We chat about what we should do in a scene and how we should approach it. Of course, I prepare myself for the role, but he helps out in a big way", the Sulthan actress added.## When asked if Sidharth gave any advice on how to deal with her journey in Bollywood, Rashmika says, "We have been working non-stop. The schedule is really tight, but the little time that I get to speak with him, I ask him about various things. Like I once asked him for advice once about how I should navigate my way through the industry, and he said, 'You're just fine the way you are. Just be yourself, and keep at it. Do your work with all your conviction and focus. Everything else will work out. Make your choices the way you have so far", she said. ## Rashmika was last seen in the recently released "Sulthan" which also happened to be her Tamil debut. She got a lot of appreciation from the audience and critics for her act in the film. Karthi, who played the male lead in Sulthan, also credited Rashmika for the big opening of the film. ## Meanwhile, The actress has almost finished the shoot of "Mission Majnu" and has started shooting with Amitabh Bachchan for her second Hindi film, "Goodbye". Apart from two Hindi films, her Telugu film "Pushpa" with superstar Allu Arjun is under production. She will also be seen in the Telugu film "Aadavaallu Meeku Johaarlu" opposite Sharwanand. ## Stay tuned...
