Namitha's Black Stallion begins
Black Stallion, South India's glamour queen Namitha's first-ever Malayalam film, directed by the famous Pramod-Pappan duo with comedy actor-turned-hero Kalabhavan Mani in the lead, has started rolling.
It is heard that the producers�invested more than 25 lakhs before Namitha accepted�the female lead role�in Black Stallion. With this high remuneration, Namitha becomes the highest paid actress in Mollywood.
Black Stallion is produced by Jagadheesh Chandran under the banner of Kichu films; the script is by Rajesh Jayaraman. Scheduled to begin in October, 2008, Black Stallion was delayed due to the slow progress of Pramod-Pappan duo's�big budget film Musafir, produced by Suneer Hamsa under the banner of Indis Creations with Rahman, Bala and Mamtha in the lead roles.
Planned as a musical action thriller with six songs, Musafir has music by four musicians: Ouseppachen, M.G. Radhakrishnan, Shahbas Aman and Balabhasker. After making a comeback to Malayalam with Mammootty starrer Black in 2004, noted South Indian actor Rahman comes as the solo hero role in Malayalam after a long period; Mamta Mohandas also returns to Malayalam as heroine after a long gap in Musafir.
Actor Bala has an equally important role in this film, which has already completed shooting in Dubai, London and Cyprus. The screenplay is based on a story written by Suneer Hamza. Dialogues are by Babu Janardhanan. Yousaf Lensman handles the camera. Musafir is expected to hit�theatres soon.
