Ann Maria Kalippinanu, the recently released entertainer is receiving positive reviews from all over. The Sunny Wayne-Baby Sara starrer, directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas, is also performing well at the box office. According to the reports from the trade analysts, Ann Maria Kalippilanu has made a total gross collection of 61 Lakhs, from the first 2 days of its theatrical run, after getting an average opening. However, the positive reviews and the support from the family audiences have helped the movie to perform better at the box office, even though it made an average start on its release day. Reportedly, Ann Maria Kalippilanu has solely collected 6 Lakhs from the Ernakulam multiplexes, within the first 2 days. It is not a limited figure for a non-superstar movie, made with a low budget. Interestingly, young actor Dulquer Salmaan has made a special cameo appearance in the movie. The actor's portrayal of an angel in the movie has also been receiving wide appreciations from the audiences. Ann Maria Kalippilanu, which is produced by Alice George under the banner Goodwill Entertainments, is expected to hit the theatres outside Kerala and in the foreign countries, by next week.
'Ann Maria Kalippilaanu' rights acquired for fancy price
Encouraged by the stupendous success of 'Bicchagadu', producer Chadalavada Padmavati is out to present the Telugu audience with yet another artistic, pushing-the-envelope movie. 'Ann Maria Kalippilaanu', the 2016 Indian Malayalam children's film directed by Midhun Manuel Thomas and written by Thomas and John Manthrichal, will be dubbed by the producer, who has acquired the dubbing rights by shelling out a fancy price. "Starring Baby Sara, who shined in Vikram-starrer 'Nanna', in the key role, the film has gone on to become a blockbuster in Malayalam. There was a huge competition among various producers for the movie's dubbing rights. We have clinched the deal. The film narrates the story of a school-going kid (played by Sara) and what consequences follow when she meets a fraudster (played by Sunny Wayne). Aju Varghese is playing a key role, while Dulquer Salman (of 'OK Bangaram' and '100 Days of Love') plays a guest role", the producer says. "The resounding success of 'Bicchagadu' shows that, when one follows the right strategy and the content is good, a film can make it big. Released in 50 screens, the film went on to be released in 200 theatres, besides collecting Rs. 25 cr", the producer adds. One expects another hit from the makers.
Aftab shakes a leg with Maria
Aftab Shivdasani may be heartbroken with the fact that his much labored effort in 'Ankahee' didn't quite get him the incentives he would have expected. But still he may be looking at his future releases as one of his old [but exciting] projects 'Jaane Hoga Kya' gears up for an outing this August. One of the highlights of the film is his dance number with Maria Gorretti [also known as Arshad Warsi's wife] who has a special appearance in the film. The song titled 'Teri Mast Mast Jawaani' is set in a club/pub and has been picturised as a western dance track. Sung by Sukhwinder Singh and Mahalaxmi, the song by Sajid Wajid is in the same mould as Sukhwinder's earlier superhit 'Kambakth Ishq' and is gaining some attention for the movie. 'Jaane Hoga Kya' is a sci-fi flick and also stars Bipasha Basu, Preeti Jhangiani and Paresh Rawal. Based on a theme of cloning, this directorial venture of Glen-Ankush stars Aftab in a double role.

"The resignation letter was sent to her employer company on May 7, 2012, while the letter to her landlord sometime in July, 2012," Maria said.

Marma Yogi - Kamal and Walt Disney
Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan will now join hands with the Walt Disney Productions, who are expected to produce his forthcoming film 'Marma Yogi'. Walt Disney Productions, which recently tied up with Yash Raj Films for a full-length animated feature film called 'Roadside Romeo', wants to expand its operations across the country. So they have decided to start a venture with the versatile actor cum filmmaker. The Kamal-Walt Disney venture will be co-produced by Bharath Bala, who produced A. R. Rahman's patriotic music video Vande Mataram. 'Marma Yogi' will also bring Kamal and Rahman together after a long gap. 'Marma Yogi' will be a period film, set in the seventh century, which will have erstwhile Bollywood heartthrob Hema Malini. Kamal and Hema Malini had earlier teamed up in 'Hey Ram'. Asin, the heroine of 'Dasavadharam', will play a key role. The film will probably be directed by Kamal Haasan. 'Marma Yogi' is the title of one of MGR's blockbusters (1951), which happened to be the first Tamil film to receive an 'A' certificate. Kamal has earlier done a movie with the title of another MGR film (Sathi Leelavathi, MGR's maiden venture as hero, which came in 1936). 'Marma Yogi' is said to be one of the costliest films ever made in India with a budget of Rs. 90 crore.
