There
came
a
news
that
Priyadarshan
is
planning
his
next
Malayalam
film
with
Prithviraj
and
Maniyanpilla
Raju
will
be
producing
the
film.
No
confirmations
have
come
yet,
but
we
hope
that
the
news
is
true.
Seldom
have
we
seen
Priyadarshan
opting
for
actors
other
than
Mohanlal
for
the
lead
role.
Let
us
take
a
look
at
some
Malayalam
films
of
Priyadarshan
in
which
Mohanlal
was
not
a
part
of.
Odaruthammava
Aalariyam
This
film
has
got
a
cult
fan
following.
The
story
of
a
group
of
youngsters
did
strike
the
right
chords.
Mukesh,
Sreenivasan,
Jagadish,
Nedumudi
Venu,
Shankar,
Srinath
etc
did
the
main
roles.
Dheem
Tharikida
Thom
This
film,
interestingly
had
Maniyanpilla
Raju
doing
the
lead
role.
The
film
is
still
considered
to
be
a
perfect
entertainer
with
great
performances
from
actors
like
Jagathi
Sreekumar,
Nedumudi
Venu
etc.
Raakkuyilin
Ragasadassil
This
film
came
as
a
different
attempt
from
Priyadarshan.
The
film
was
on
a
serious
not
and
had
Mammootty
and
Suhasini
in
the
lead
roles.
Megham
It
was
after
a
long
gap
that
Priyadarshan
joined
hands
with
Mammootty.
Much
was
expected
from
the
film,
but
the
film
didn't
do
well
at
the
box
office
back
then.
Vettam
When
Priyadarshan
decided
to
join
hands
with
Dileep,
a
laugh
riot
was
guaranteed.
Vettam
was
nothing
short
of
that
and
was
an
out
and
out
entertainer.
The
film's
story
was
inspired
from
Hindi
film
Pyar
Toh
Hona
Hi
Tha.
Aamayum
Muyalum
Aamaym
Muyalum
was
a
remake
of
his
own
Hindi
film
Malamaal
Weekly.
The
film
did
have
Jayasurya
in
the
lead
role.
The
film
didn't
fare
well
at
the
box
office
Priyadarshan
and
Mohanlal
have
worked
together
in
more
than
20
movies.
Priyadarshan's
debut
movie
Poochakkoru
Mookkuthi
had
the
actor
as
one
of
the
heroes.
They
both
have
delivered
hits
like
Chithram,
Kilukkam,Thenmavin
Kombathu,
Chandralekha
etc
which
interestingly
set
various
records
at
the
box
office.
They
have
tried
hands
at
various
genres
which
include
comedy,
action,
horror,
thrillers
etc.
Priyadarshan
and
Mohanlal
together
gave
one
of
the
masterpiece
films
of
Malayalam
through
the
film
Kaalapani.
Their
upcoming
work
is
film
Oppam
which
is
said
to
be
a
thriller.
Their
previous
project
Geethanjali
did
fail
to
deliver
good
results.
Much
is
being
expected
from
Oppam,
since
Priyadarshan
is
trying
a
different
track
in
this
film.
These
are
good
signs
and
hope
that
we
get
that
old
Priyadarshan
back,
who
delivered
back
to
back
successes
in
Malayalam
film
industry.
