Vinu's
Makante
Achan,
made
by
prestigious
production
house
Seven
Arts,
makers
of
the
recent
Rajinikanth
starrer
Kuselan,
has
completed
its
shooting
in
and
around
Palakkad
and
is
now
in
post-production
stage.
Expected
to
grace
theatres
on
January
23,
2009,
the
movie
is
reported
to
be
a
light-hearted
comedy
with
some
family
sentiments.
Makante
Achan
revolves
around
a
nuclear
family
consisting
of
a
Village
Officer
Viswanathan
(Sreenivasan),
wife
Hema
(Suhasini)
and
their
only
son
Manu
(Vineeth
Sreenivasan).
Viswanathan
is
a
tough,
uncompromising,
honest
and
straightforward
person,
who
has
too
many
dreams
and
aspirations
for
his
only
son.
Like
any
other
father,
he
dreams
that
Manu
should
reach
a
secure
position
by
acquiring
a
good
education
and
the
right
job.
Viswanathan
is
ready
to
do
anything
for
Manu,
who
is
unfortunately
diametrically
opposite
to
his
father.
With
unlimited
freedom
as
the
only
child
in
the
family,
Manu
leads
a
very
lavish,
happy-go-lucky
life
and
is
never
bothered
about
his
lovable
parents'
wishes.
Viswanathan
feels
Manu
is
never
serious
about
his
life.
Finally,
Manu"s
attitude
leads
to
a
piquant
situation
in
their
family,
making
his
father
realize
that
all
his
dreams
were
futile.
The
film
deals
with
the
potential
crisis
of
having
a
single
child
which
is
a
fashion
today.
The
main
highlight
of
Makante
Achan
is
that
Sreenivasan
is
acting
with
his
son
Vineeth,
who
is
also
a
playback
singer.
After
a
long
time,
veteran
actress
Nadiya
Moidu
makes
a
comeback
to
Malayalam
with
this
film,
which
also
has
Thilakan,
Jagathy
Sreekumar
and
Salimkumar
in
major
roles.
