Zhang Shu Min, a Chinese girl who is working in the ace director Lal Jose’s new movie Arabikatha was recently in Kerala to shot for a part of the film.

Pretty surprised with the Kerala culture and its beautiful people, the actress was the talk of the mob in the filmi circuit. She bagged the role opposite Sreenivasan when she was working for a Dubai-based company.

Zang Shu Min’s entry into films is a story that will very well suit a film. She started as a translator — helping the crew to find a Chinese girl for the role.

Mammootty as a Syrian Christian, basically as a Kottayam Achayan has always been a huge draw among the Malayalee audience. Now writer Ranjit and director Joshy are making a new film appropriately titled Nasrani, a word used in early times for the Syrian Christians in Kerala.

Nasrani is going to be Mammootty’s big Onam 2007 release, likely to clash with Mohanlal’s Ali Bhai. The film is produced by M.Rajan of ‘Horizon Entertainments’. It will be an out and out fun movie, laced with action and sentiments. A girl from Bollywood will play the heroine.

It was Joshy who first gave Mammootty an Achayan image with Sangham in the late 80’s. This was followed by a series of similar larger than life characters in spotless white mundu and juba, and a Rayban cooling glass! Who can forget Mammootty in Kottayam Kunjachan? So Mammootty as Nasrani, with Ranjit’s punchline dialogues and Joshy’s direction is sure going to be a treat for his fans

Well in Kerala, July 4 is the day when Malayalam star Dileep releases his film! It is his lucky date, as all his comedy films released on that day have been big hits like C.I.D Moosaand last year’s Chess etc. Dileep is not bothered whether that day is a Friday or a working day, he has released it even on a Monday!

Keeping that in mind Dileep and director Joshy has announced their new film’s title as July 4! And yes it will release on July 4, 2007. It is a typical Joshy-Dileep combo film like their earlier Lion, plenty of family sentiments and action.

Dileep has a new heroine in Notebook Roma and another new girl Mangala, along with the Joshy regulars like Siddique, Salim Kumar, Riaz Khan, Cochin Haneefa etc .The film has music by Ouseppachan. For Roma it is a big break to be the heroine of Dileep.
