Santosh SivanYes After doing Hindi, Tamil and Telugu films, Genelia is taking up her first Malayalam Film directed by Ace cinmetographer Santosh Sivan. The film titled ‘Urumi’ which refers to a flexible sword used in Kalari fights also stars Prithiviraj opposite Genelia. While ‘Urumi’ means a sword in Malayalam, the word is used in Tamil to refer a ‘melam’ used in special occasions. Rest of the cast is to be finalised. Film will be a bilingual film and will be shot in both Malalyalam and Tamil languages.

Sankar Ramakrishnan, who had directed the promising short film Island Express in the Kerala Cafe anthology, is writing the script. The film, a bilingual, is set in the 15th century and will be made for international audiences,” Santosh Sivan said to a leading English daily. Urumi is about a group of men who wanted to assassinate Vasco Da Gama, the Portuguese explorer who set foot in Kappad in Calicut in 1498. The film will have an English subtitle- “Who Killed Vasco De Gama?” Genelia will play a Portuguese princess while Prithviraj will be the leader of the gang that wants to kill Vasco De Gama.

PrithvirajThe incidents of the film would be a recreation of the 15th century when Vasco Da Gama first came to India. Santhosh Sivan is going to put in every details from history to make this into a serious period piece. Interestingly, Genelia is a popular actress in all other south Indian languages (Tamil, Telugu and Kannada) and ‘Urumi’ is expected to take her to the Kerala audience. “She looks innocent and seemed right for the role,” says Santosh Sivan. “The filming of Urumi will commence in August in Kerala. I have directed and photographed all my films,” he added.

GeneliaOnline is back. Seems It was difficult to stay away from all of you. Time for lots of work and even more updates. Sidebar has been restored to what it was before. Break Messages have been removed from complete Site.

Some Updates Which you will see in coming days/months across the GO’s Site:

  • Videos Section will get a new section Soon which will import almost all Videos from SVRStudios Youtube Channel. This will ensure that you will see all Genelia’s Videos on our Videos Section without leaving the site. Though They will not be organised according to current videos structure. The only compromise for the quantity of videos to be imported.
  • Focus on Community Efforts across the GO. I want to make GO a community run site instead of being run by me as of now.
  • Gang Interactions to be increased. More on that on Gang Blog.
  • Faster and Better Updates across all Sections of GO.
  • More Photos in Gallery. Will need Your Help for that.

Now Time to Post all Missing Updates Which happened in last Month. Look Out at Gallery/Videos/Press and The main site in coming couple of days for it.

Good to be back. :)

Well before you think GO is dead nowdays with not much of updates on the site except the routine Thursday’s article, its not true. GO is alive but in a hibernation mode. For the next 1 or 2 months, GO will not be updated. [Includes Gallery and Videos Section] I will try my best to return before Angel’s Birthday. [5 August]

Sorry to everyone. Can’t explain the reason.

Till then follow on Twitter or Facebook for somewhat mini updates in between I may feed. Plus you will get to know about the return of GO from Twitter or Facebook Only.

P.S. Gang and Forum are Open. Members are free to post there. So you may see some activity on those fronts. Am removing the Latest Pictures on Front and replacing it with Forum Feeds so that you get an idea of activity behind the scenes during my absence.

Tadaa!
