Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi starrer Vikram Vedha, a neo-noir thriller, was one of the most successful Tamil films last year. In the film, directed by husband and wife duo Pushkar-Gayatri, Madhavan plays an encounter cop while Vijay Sethupathi plays a gangster.

At the trailer launch of his upcoming web-series Breathe, Madhavan confirmed that the remake of the blockbuster is on the cards and it will happen this year. However, the actor refused to comment on whether he will repeat his character in the remake and said it’s too early for him to talk about the lead actor who will be reprising Vijay Sethupathi’s role. “We want someone who can give us dates and have an enormous market”, said Madhavan.

It was earlier reported that for the Hindi remake, the actor had approached Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who initially seemed interested. But later, that plan was put on the back burner.

It’s an edge-of-the-seat thriller based on the mythical tale of King Vikramadityan and the demon Bethal. It's an exploration of the grey space between good and evil. The film, which released on July 21, was displayed in over 350 screens in Tamil Nadu. It witnessed 90% occupancy in theatres on its opening day and collected Rs 50 crore by August. 

The film is about an encounter specialist Vikram played by Maddy and a gangster Vedha played by Vijay Sethupathi. Produced by Sashikanth under the banner Y Not Studios, the film has Shraddha Srinath, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Kathir in crucial roles. Sam CS had scored music for this flick with PS Vinod cranking the camera and Richard Kevin editing it.

Meanwhile, Madhavan is all set to make a comeback in Tollywood with Naga Chaitanya's Savyasachi, a thriller film directed by Premam director Chandoo Mondeti. This will be Madhavan’s first Telugu appearance in a full-length role. He has played a cameo in 2010 Telugu film Om Shanti. Savyasachi marks the second collaboration of Mondeti and Naga Chaitanya after last year’s Premam.

Akshay Kumar Starrer ‘Padman’ Becomes First Indian Movie To Be Screened At Oxford Union

Do films have an influence on the audiences? That’s a debatable question, but they for sure leave an impact. Aamir Khan once said that movies can be used as a medium to change mindsets of people, and with movies like 3 Idiots and Dangal, he is doing his bit.

Another actor who is contributing to social causes is Akshay Kumar. With several inspiring films in his kitty, he is making an effort by being a part of meaningful cinema.

With his next film Padman, he just doesn’t want people to watch it and break the period taboo, but he also wants to make a change in the society.

What's more? The movie has become the first Indian film to be screened at the Oxford Union. Twinkle Khanna has been invited to speak at one of the most reputed debating societies in the world, and she will reportedly showcase her maiden production Padman.

Padmaavat vs Padman

Padmaavat vs PadMan: With the ban lifted, could possible violence prove to be a deterrent for viewers?

With the four-state ban on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavat finally lifted, the next big trouble is its clash with Akshay Kumar’s PadMan.

A controversial period drama based on a Rajput queen will clash with a biopic on the manufacturer of low-cost sanitary pads when two of the year’s biggest Bollywood films open ahead of the Republic Day weekend.

Film-maker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat, originally titled Padmavati, had been slated to release on December 1 before a row over its historical content forced its makers to delay the film. The new release date of January 25 was announced on Sunday, which means it will now go head-to-head with R. Balki’s Padman in a box office battle likely to affect revenues.

Padman, which had first dibs on the holiday weekend, tells the story of Arunachalam Muruganantham, the man behind a low-cost machine for manufacturing sanitary napkins in rural India.

The film’s unusual storyline and its cast of Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte led to it being billed as a sure-fire winner at the box office. The makers of at least one Bollywood challenger - the espionage thriller Aiyaari - postponed its release to give Padman free rein over the extended Republic Day weekend.

That was until the long-delayed historical epic Padmaavat arrived on the scene.

“When two big films release on the same day, they both suffer because audiences are divided,” said Girish Johar, a film and trade analyst. “Padmaavat is a big release and has a big budget, so ideally it needed a solo release date.”

The film ran into trouble when Rajput organisations, critical of the project, accused director Bhansali of distorting history by showing Muslim ruler Alauddin Khilji as the “lover” of Queen Padmavati.

Members of hardline Hindu fringe groups as well as the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party criticised it. The censor board cleared the film ahead of the new year, suggesting modifications including changing the name to “Padmaavat” from “Padmavati” to reflect that the source material was the epic poem and not actual historical events.

But the modifications have not placated protesters. A school in Madhya Pradesh was vandalized this week after students danced to a song from the film. At least four states, including Madhya Pradesh had banned the film citing security threats. On Thursday, the Supreme Court struck down the bans as illegal, a day after the producers of Padmaavat moved the top court.

The spectre of violence would still hang over Padmaavat when it opens in cinemas.

“Any possibility of violence at theatres will be a deterrent for people to go to theatres, and could affect Padman collections as well, but that is something we will know only on the day of release,” said Vajir Singh, a trade analyst.
