The whole kingdom had been awaiting his arrival and the makers were careful to guard his identity till the lavish launch held at a glitzy hotel in Dubai.
The subject of this piece is the film Samrajyam part 2 – Son of Alexander and the actor who was unveiled was Unni Mukundan who will play the part of Jordan.
The lead of the film was a matter of constant guesswork and most top rung actors from Kollywood and Mollywood had been speculated about.
The guessing game threw up names like Dulquer Salmaan — because Mammootty had immortalised Alexander in the original film — as well as Prithviraj, Arya and Allu Arjun.
Dulquer ruled himself out, tweeting that the “Son Of Alexander will be played by a close friend of mine and one of the nicest guys I have known and I am positive that he will do full justice to the role.’’
The selection of Unni has thrown up a pleasant surprise and he has proved his mettle in films like Bombay March 12 as well as the recent hit Mallu Singh.
The persona of the angry young man is right down his alley and his stunt sequences also packed a punch in Mallu Singh. If all goes according to plan, Trisha will play his leading lady.
This film will tilt the balance in Unni’s favour and push him to the top bracket. Unni has the upcoming I Love Me, Pathiramanal, Orrisa and Gangs of Vadukkumnathan in his kitty.
Though the responsibility of the role is huge as expectations are high, the makers are confident that Unni will do justice to the part.
Directed by Perarasu and produced by Ajmal Hassan and Byju Adithyan, the film stars Madhu and Vijayaraghavan who played a part in the original Samrajyam.
