‘Lanka’ is action hero Suresh Gopi 's forthcoming film. A lot is at stake for the tall and handsome hero who has thrived so far on action films.
The flop of his movie ‘The Tiger’ had set Gopi thinking. The failure of the film underlined the need to go for an image makeover.
That is why Suresh has opted for ‘Lanka’ which is a romantic thriller. Not that there is no action in the film. But the action is laced with romance. And for the first time, Suresh Gopi romances his heroine through songs and round-the mulberry bush chases.
‘Lanka’ incidentally is writer AK Sajan's directorial debut. The movie, shot extensively in the picturesque locales of Sri Lanka is based
on LTTE militants and the culture human bombs.
While Mamta Mohandas is Suresh's heroine, ‘Lanka’ also features Siddique, Vijayaraghavan, Rajan.P.Dev and others in supporting cast.
Suresh Gopi plays Sravan, who is a Casanova with a roving eye.
Shaji cranks the camera and the music has been composed by Sreenivas and Rajesh Jayamohan. The lyrics have been penned by BR Prasad.
‘Lanka’ also has a lip-to-lip kissing scene, perhaps the first in a Malayalam movie. The film is slated for an end of February release.
