Kandahar to kick off from June 13

Major Ravi directed movie Kandahar will start rolling from June 13. It cast Mohanlal playing the lead role as Major Mahadevan along with Amitabh Bachchan and Suniel Shetty playing side roles. Mohanlal is currently busy with his Shikari shooting.

And guess what?? Amitabh Bachchan in his blog wrote that he will be doing the film free of cost. He said that he would be doing a guest appearance in the film and the shooting is only for three days. So he won't be charging any money.

It was earlier reported that Mohanlal, Amitabh Bachchan and Surya will be seen together in the film directed by Major Ravi. But later news was heard that Surya backed out from the film due to date issues and that Mohanlal and Major Ravi are in search of another actor. Finally the lucky draw went for Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty.

Kandahar movie is all about Kandahar Indian Airlines flight hijack incident which rattled the nation in 1999. The movie is said to be a bilingual one in Tamil and Malayalam and will be shot in Kerala, Delhi and Nepal. It is produced by Sunil C.
