FILM MAKER K SREEKUMAR HAS A TOUGH TASK AT HAND. THERE ARE AS MANY AS FOUR OF MALAYALAM SUPERSTARS VYING FOR THE TITLE ROLE OF HIS FILM, MARTHANDA VARMA, A STORY BASED ON THE TRAVANCORE KING BY THE SAME NAME. WHILE SOME OF THE POSTERS OF THE SOON-TO-BE-MADE FILM ALREADY FEATURE MAMMOOTY AS THE CHOSEN ONE, SOURCES INFORM US THAT THE LEAD CAST IS YET TO BE FINALISED. MALAYALAM ACTORS MOHANLAL, SURESH GOPI AS WELL AS PRITHVIRAJ ARE CURRENTLY BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE SAME.
MOHANLAL WAS THE DIRECTOR'S FIRST CHOICE. BUT THE STAR APPARENTLY WAS UNABLE TO TAKE IT UP DUE TO THE DATE CLASHES. THE DIRECTORS ASSOCIATES THEN SUGGESTED MAMMOOTY. BUT DUE TO A PREVIOUS UNSETTLED DISPUTE BETWEEN THE FILM MAKER AND MAMMOOTY, THE TIE-UP SEEMS UNLIKELY. THE NEXT PERSON ON THE LIST WAS SURESH GOPI. BUT THE ACTOR APPARENTLY HAS HIKED HIS REMUNERATION EVER SINCE HE BEGAN SHOOTING FOR A GAME SHOW ON THE SMALL SCREEN. THE LATEST ON THE LIST WAS PRITHVIRAJ, BUT THEN AGAIN, "PRITHVIRAJ'S PHYSIQUE IS NOT APT FOR THIS ROLE", INFORMS OUR SOURCE. HOW EVER THE TEAM IS NOT LOOKING BEYOND THESE FOUR ACTORS EITHER.
