Dileep turns blind
Critics may have chided Dileep for using skills learned from his mimicry days in his acting career, but it is in these roles as an effeminate or mentally retarded person, or a buck-toothed hunchback that he has found most admiration in Mollywood. Dileep has already proved that he is beyond a mimicry artist, which is evident from many of his blockbusters like Kunjikkoonan (2002), C.I.D. Moosa (2003), Thilakkam (2003), Chandhupottu (2005) and Pachakkuthira (2006).
Now, Dileep is back again with another interesting movie Colours, which will feature him as a blind man. It is the second time Dileep plays a blind person. In Chess also, he played the novel role of a blind man seeking revenge against a group of policemen.
Interestingly, Raj Babu, who directed Chess, will direct Dileep in Colours as well. Though more details about the cast are yet to be revealed, it is heard that Roma will be one of the heroines. The makers are reportedly searching for a fresh face as the second heroine. The movie is produced by M. Mani under the banner of Sunitha Productions.
To be scripted by V.C. Ashok, Colours will start rolling in October in Ooty. Like all other Dileep movies, Colours would also be a comedy entertainer, the makers said. Saloo George will handle cinematography and P.C. Mohanan will be the editor of Colours.
