Nair
San,
the
Mohanlal-Jackie
Chan
movie
is
one
of
the
most
anticipated
upcoming
projects
of
Malayalam
cinema.
According
to
Albert
Antony,
the
director,
Nair
San
is
made
with
a
massive
budget
of
400
Crores.
Reportedly,
the
movie
will
be
produced
by
a
foreign
production
house,
as
the
Indian
production
houses
are
reluctant
to
fund
such
a
massive
budget
venture.
The
production
is
still
under
the
pre-production
stage.
Nair
San,
which
was
announced
in
2009,
was
delayed
indefinitely
after
the
production
house
decided
to
back
out
from
the
project.
It
was
reported
that
the
banner
was
doubtful
about
Mohanlal's
hold
in
the
international
market.
But
now,
the
makers
decide
to
revive
the
project,
considering
the
massive
success
of
Mohanlal's
recent
movie
Pulimurugan.
The
team
feels
that
the
actor
can
now
easily
make
an
impression
in
the
international
market.
Mohanlal
is
now
undoubtedly
one
of
the
most
bankable
actors
of
the
Indian
film
industry.
If
Nair
San
becomes
true,
the
actor
will
succeed
in
establishing
himself
as
one
of
the
leading
Indian
stars
in
the
global
level.
The
movie,
which
is
set
in
the
pre-independence
era,
will
have
Mohanlal
in
the
role
of
an
Indian
soldier
named
Ayyappan
Nair.
Jackie
Chan,
on
the
other
hand,
will
appear
as
a
Japanese
martial
arts
expert.
