The film has already been screened at 4 of the world's best film festivals, including Toronto, Rome, London and Rotterdam. The response there was astounding, with long standing ovations after all the screenings. International critics and few Indian film personalities who have seen the film, unanimously, have only one thing to say – that this is Bachchan's best film ever. Quite a compliment this is, for a man who is the greatest living legend in Indian cinema. Amitabh Bachchan plays an actor, for the very first time in his long professional life, in The Last Lear.
Moreover her recent row with the Mollywood artists association AMMA, that concerned her dates for the movie 'Twenty: 20' is all set to come down as a big blow to her career in Malayalam films. By refusing to act in 'Twenty: 20', Meera Jasmine has ruffled many feathers and scores of people in the industry were asking for strict actions against her. She was earlier named to take part in the shoot of Mammootty's 'Kuttyshranku' and Mohanlal's 'Swapanamalika'. But then nothing has been heard about her part in these films of late. For 'Kuttyshranku', the director has already roped in the Bengali actress Kamalee Mukherjee to replace Meera. After poor reports and reviews about clichéd acting from the lead pair in 'Minnaminnikkoottam', no new filmmakers from Malayalam has approached her with fresh projects.
But, Meera Jasmine seems to be least bothered over these new developments in Mollywood. She seems to have made up her mind to concentrate more on other languages. She have already started working for noted Kannda offbeat director M.S. Sathyu, for his new film titled 'Ijjodu', produced by Reliance Adlabs. Interestingly, the movie will have Meera Jasmine playing the role of a Devadasi. She is now doing quite well in the Telugu film industry too, her latest being 'Gorintaku' with Rajasekar about a brother-sister bond, where she played the sister's role. She will be completing another Telugu movie where she stars with Jagapathi Babu. The movie was shot extensively in Kashmir. Meera has agreed for some more films in Telugu including the, Srikanth starrer titled 'A Aa Ee Ee'.
We wish Diya belated Happy Birthday and all the best for her future.
