After Jackie Chan came to Chennai, for the audio launch of Dasavatharam, he became a superstar among the audiences in the south. His next release after his visit to India Forbidden Kingdom was a major hit here. Leading Tamil film producer V Ravichandran has said that he will be shortly announcing an international project with Chan.Now, the latest we hear from Kerala is that Mohanlal is going to do a film titled Nair San, in which he is going to be featured with Jackie Chan! The film's director, Albert, told the Malayalam media that he had gone to Hong Kong to meet Chan and get his nod to do the film.
Nair San is based on a real life character ��� Ayyapan Pillai MadhavanNair of Thiruvananthapuram, who during his school days got involved in the freedom struggle and had to escape from the British. So via Sri Lanka, he made his way to Japan and joined the war against British imperialism.
"The shoot of the film is going to start on Sept. one in Mongolia. We are talking to Jackie Chan's office to co-ordinate the shoot. It is a historical period drama and will be shot by cameraman Vaidi like a big budget commercial extravaganza on a budget of around Rs 50 crore," says the director.
