Thilakan, back in the lead

Veteran Actor Thilakan has been the news all through the year, but for wrong reasons. He was there in interviews lambasting AMMA, the artists association and one of his co actors Nedumudi Venu for, unethically grabbing his roles. The actor, who is said to be facing an unofficial boycott from major commercial ventures, will be back in the lead in the new film by popular mini screen director Sohanlal. The movie titled 'Orkkuka Vallapozhum' will be scripted by the director himself and will feature debutante Shilpa Balan as the heroine. Produced by Vinu Y S in the banner of God's own movies, the movie will have Thilakan as a seventy five year old Sethumadhavan, who tracks back his life to the age of innocence. Last year Thilakan appeared in the lead in one movie titled 'Ekantham', which went on to bag the national award. The actor was even considered for the award for the best actor in the national level, for the performance in this movie.
