When she appeared in grander roles, you saw her as a tragic character that dies of a virus, a young woman trapped in sex trafficking, a lover ending up deserted in a haunted house or the depths of a forest.

MollywoodThe films could be remakes of older films or bear absolutely no connection to its predecessor.Tnm StaffPoster of Mamankam (1979)/ Courtesy - m3db.com and Mamangam (2019)Just as the recent Malayalam film Nayattu was about to release, a Google search of the title threw up another 1980 film by the same name. Starring Jayan, it had released 11 days after the actor’s death as a result of a daredevil stunt in another film. Both the Nayattus tell police stories but have no other similarities. It’s not the first time that the title of an earlier film was reused years later for a film with absolutely no connection to its predecessor. Critic B Vijayakumar writes on Malayalam Music and Movie Encyclopaedia that Sthree (1970) was perhaps the first such film to have a repeated title. Another film called Sthree had released 20 years earlier (in 1950), as an adaptation of a play by the same name.

He is naïve, well-intentioned but ends up doing more harm than good. In Crispin’s world, there are no filters—be it making friends or triggering a fight, in explaining the politics between Mohanlal and Mammootty to the woman he just met or in wording the after-effects of consuming an egg puff. While one can’t take away the ingenuity of the well-written (Syam Pushkaran) role, it’s also a fact that Soubin Shahir occupies the character with such a disarming honesty and spontaneity that he blurs the boundaries between self and the character. “I would say Soubin is an irreplaceable actor.

MollywoodThe Nigerian actor had earlier alleged that he was paid less for his role in the Malayalam film because of racism.Tnm StaffFacebook/Samuel RobinsonNigerian actor Samuel Abiola Robinson who acted in the Malayalam film Sudani from Nigeria had alleged last week that he was underpaid for his role. Samuel had posted on his social media pages that he had been paid very less money for his role in Sudani from Nigeria and that he believes it is because he is African that the makers offered him so little. However, on Wednesday, Samuel put up a post on Facebook saying the makers of the film, Happy Hours Entertainment, had gotten in touch with him to settle the issue and that he had received a reasonable sum for his work. “To settle this, I have received confirmation receipt of payment for reasonable sum as salary for my work on Sudani from Nigeria,” he wrote on his Facebook page. The actor further added that after his discussion with the filmmakers, he now believed that there was no racism but it was a case of misunderstanding and miscommunication. Samuel wrote, “I previously ascribed racial discrimination to the treatment I had received but deeper enlightenment and explanation by The Happy Hours Entertainment make me believe that this was not a case of racial discrimination but a case of misunderstanding, miscommunication and misinformation (sic).” He also apologised to the people of Kerala adding, “There is almost completely no Racism in Kerala and I believe Kerala is one of the friendliest places in Asia for an African to visit.” Samuel also thanked Thomas Isaac, the Finance Minister of Kerala, for his support in resolving the issue. In his post, he also requested everyone to “not direct any hatred or contempt” towards Shyju Khalid, Zakariya, Sameer Thahir or anyone involved with the Happy Hours Entertainment and explained that “disagreements” and “miscommunication” are common among “family members”. Samuel also added that he would be donating a part of the amount he received to The Red Card Anti-Racism education charity. “I ask you to join me in doing so by visiting www.theredcard.org,” he wrote. Samuel had earlier alleged that he was subjected to unfair and racial treatment while in Kerala. “It was nothing violent or directly in my face but for my role in Sudani from Nigeria, the producers offered me far less money than Indian actors who are not half as popular or accomplished as i am would normally earn. I only became better enlightened after meeting with several young actors and discussing payment with them,” he had written. The Facebook post appears to have been removed now. Soon after, Sameer Thahir and Shyju Khalid of the production house clarified that they had drawn up a contract with Samuel “after giving him a clear picture about the low-budget nature of the film and about the limit of remuneration we could give him. He entered into that contract after he agreed on paper with the remuneration. We gave Samuel mutually-agreed remuneration” and denied any racist undertones to the money offered. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 17.0px; font: 14.7px Helvetica; color: #222222; -webkit-text-stroke: #222222; background-color: #ffffff} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 17.0px; font: 14.7px Helvetica; color: #500050; -webkit-text-stroke: #500050; background-color: #ffffff} span.s1 {font-kerning: none} span.s2 {text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none; color: #0000ff; -webkit-text-stroke: 0px #0000ff} span.s3 {text-decoration: underline ; font-kerning: none; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: 0px #000000}...

MollywoodThe producers of the Malayalam film said that they'd fulfilled the contractual obligations and gave Samuel a ‘mutually-agreed' remuneration. Tnm StaffHappy Hours Entertainments, the producers of Sudani from Nigeria, have stepped in to issue an official clarification about African actor Samuel Abiola Robinson's allegation that he was underpaid for his role in the film. Sameer Thahir and Shyju Khalid of the production house said that they had drawn up a contract with Samuel "after giving him a clear picture about the low-budget nature of the film and about the limit of remuneration we could give him. He entered into that contract after he agreed on paper with the remuneration. We gave Samuel mutually-agreed remuneration." The production company further said that they had indeed expressed the hope that if the film became commercially successful, the team would be paid more. "It is a fact that the film still runs to packed houses. But it is equally true that a share of the profit would not reach us until due course of time elapses and unless the usual procedures in the film industry are completed," they said. Acknowledging that Samuel had been "invaluable" for the film, the producers said that they have been hopeful of paying him more but added, "...we want to underline the fact this wish is motivated by an ethics outside the premises of the contractual obligations". Responding to Samuel's allegation that he'd been underpaid because he was African, the producers calling it a "painful" accusation and said, "We exerted no pressure on Samuel to cooperate with us, if he was not satisfied with the amount we offered." They denied there had been racist undertones to the money offered to Samuel. Sameer Tahir and Shyju Khalid further said that Samuel's allegations are prompted by what they consider as "misinterpretation of certain false information provided by some sources" and added that they hoped his friendship with them would continue. Sudani from Nigeria hit the screens in Kerala on March 23 and has become successful at the box-office. However, one of the lead actors, Samuel, expressed discontent at his payment and took to social media to allege that he'd been underpaid because he was African. The film also has Soubin Shahir in a lead role. Samuel has responded to the statement, attaching photographs of his contract which show that he was to have been Usd 1800, which amounts to a little over a lakh. The actor also said that he'd had no idea that the film would also release in countries outside India. Further, he has alleged that he was made to stay in "questionable" places and made to eat "questionable" food during the shoot of the film. Samuel has also included an email he allegedly sent to the producers, detailing the demands he has if he is to participate in the film's promos in Dubai.

TrailerThe film is about Sevens Football, a version of the game played in the Malabar region of Kerala.Tnm StaffMalabar in Kerala is one of the few places in India where football rules people’s hearts over cricket. Sevens football, a version of the game which has been played in the coastal region for many years, has now found place in an upcoming Malayalam film, Sudani from Nigeria. The trailer for the film was released on Saturday. Starring actor-director Soubin Shahir and African actor Samuel Abiola Robinson, the film is about a football player from Nigeria, who joins a football club in Malappuram for the Sevens. Sevens football is played between teams which have seven players each, and the games are held between November and May every year. Tnm reported earlier, “Come summer and the small towns and villages in Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur, Wayanad and Kasaragod wake up to soccer frenzy. It is a different kind of soccer called Sevens. There are only seven players in each team; the rules are different, the playing field is smaller and rigorous refereeing doesn’t kill the excitement of the game.” The Sevens, while approved neither by the Kerala Football Association nor FIFA, are hugely popular with the villages having their share of clubs and rivalries. Players from African countries also come to play in the Sevens, and collectively take home around two crore rupees for a season. Directed by Zakariya, the film is touted to be a comedy. It is produced by Sameer Thahir and Shyju Khalid, with a screenplay by Muhsin Parari and Zakariya. Rex Vijayan has composed the music. “While Samuel finds a fanbase, an injury plays spoilsport and he has to stay with Majeed’s (Soubin Shahir) family for two months,” Zakariya, a native of Malabar himself, told The Hindu. “The film also highlights how many sponsors often fail to think beyond the game when they ‘import’ these players. They are not prepared for eventualities such as injuries,” Zakariya added. ‘Kurrah Football Anthem’, a song from the film, was released earlier, and is already a hit with the fans. Actor Soubin, who also plays the owner of the football team that brought Samuel to Kerala, was earlier in the news for his directorial debut Parava, a coming of age film starring Dulquer Salman.
