Week that was! From Ganagandharvan team avoiding hoardings to Shaji N karun's 'Olu' hitting the screens - Here are the weekly highlights of Mollywood!

Compared to the many Onam releases, this week M-Town saw a dull phase at the box office with just a couple of interesting films. However, Mollywood witnessed several movie updates, controversies and also the demise of a veteran actor. So here are all the M-town updates!

The makers of Mammootty's upcoming movie 'Ganagandharvan' decided to avoid hoardings for their promotions. The team took this decision after a 23-year-old woman in Chennai passed away when a banner fell on her. The team including actor Mammootty, director Ramesh Pisharody and the producer unanimously took the decision.

Mukesh Khanna has sued filmmaker Omar Lulu and actor Mukesh for depicting his iconic character Shaktimaan in their film 'Dhamaka', without permission. Director Omar Lulu, who often posts updates about his films, recently shared a location still in which Malayalam actor Mukesh is spotted in the attire of Shaktimaan. Mukesh Khanna informed FEFKA and filed a complaint about using the character as he has the rights for the same. However, Omar Lulu issued a clarification that actor Mukesh doesn't play Shaktiman in 'Dhamaka' and the still was just a visualisation.

Anumol is all set to make her Bengali debut 'Walking over water'. She is collaborating with award-winning director, Joshy Joseph and plays a pivotal role in the movie. Anumol plays a Keralite married to a native of Bengal.

Jayasurya and Aditi Rao Hydari will be seen romancing in 'Sufiyum Sujathayum'. The movie marks Aditi’s return to M-Town. Aditi made her entry in showbiz with Mammootty starrer 'Prajapathi'. The upcoming project is helmed by 'Karie' director Naranipuzha Shanavas.

Veteran actor Sathar's unexpected demise was one of the saddest news in M-town this week. He breathed his last no September 17. His son Krish performed the last rights and his ex-wife Jayabharathi attended the funeral.

After a year of anticipation, Shaji N Karun's 'Olu' finally hit the screens on September 20. A mixture of reality and fantasy, 'Olu' featured Shane Nigam and Esther Anil in the lead. Shane Nigam essays the role of a painter in the film and Esther plays Maya, a gypsy girl, who was raped by a group of men. The pregnant girl is submerged in the remains of a Buddhist monastery and lives for 10 full moons. She can see the world only during a full moon. The movie showcases the platonic love between this Rajasthani gypsy girl and the painter. The story progresses as she asks the young artist to draw her dream!
