Ee Parakkum Thalika
'Ee Parakkum Thalika', the comedy film that was a runaway hit would soon have a sequel.
The sequel that would also have Dileep doing the lead role would be directed by Thaha. Its being said that Nithya Das, the heroine of the original film would appear in a cameo.
V R Gopalakrishnan would script the movie. The shoot is expected to start by the year end.
Salim Kumar and Harisree Ashokan who had played major roles in the film would be there in the sequel as well.
Thaha is also planning another sequel to his film 'Mookkilla Rajyathu'. He would start working on the sequel to 'Ee Parakkum Thalika' once Mookkilla Rajyathu - 2 is complete.
Harry Potter
The Dileep - Benny P Nayarambalam - Shafi film, the shoot of which is to start soon has been titled 'Harry Potter'!
The last time this team had come together was for the hilarious 'Kalyana Raman' that had been a huge hit as well.
As is the case with most of Dileep's comedies, 'Harry Potter' would also aim at kids as its target audience.
This would be Dileep's Onam release, and Shafi is expected to start working on the project once his Jayaram starrer 'Makeup Man' is complete.
The heroine of the film has not been finalised. The supporting cast would include Suraj Venajaramoodu, Jagathy Sreekumar, Salim Kumar, Innocent and Narayanankutty.
My Name is Avarachan
Dileep would play the title role in a film called 'My Name is Avarachan', that would be directed by Jose Thomas.
The film would be scripted by Siby K Thomas and Udaykrishna who had scripted Dileep's recent release 'Karyasthan'.
'My Name is Avarachan' would be produced by P Sukumar and Madhu Warrier under the banner of Cinema Factory.
The last time Dileep worked with Jose Thomas was years back for the film called 'Udayapuram Sulthan'.
The heroine and the rest of the cast of 'My Name is Avarachan' are being planned.
KARYASTHAN RUSH
In Dileep's 100th film scriptwriters Siby K Thomas and Udaykrishna rewrite and rework on their own done to death story for what seems the hundredth time. Karyasthan, believe it or not, is once again a rehash of one of those films that tell the story of two warring families that battle it out from either side of their boundary walls.
Dileep and Suraj do manage to bring in a few giggles, but the film serves as a sure sign that Dileep needs to reinvent himself. Real quick

KARYASTHAN REVIEW
In Dileep's 100th film scriptwriters Siby K Thomas and Udaykrishna rewrite and rework on their own done to death story for what seems the hundredth time. Karyasthan, believe it or not, is once again a rehash of one of those films that tell the story of two warring families that battle it out from either side of their boundary walls.
This time around we have Puthezhath and Kizhakkedath families headed by two Nair Karanavars (Madhu & G K Pillai), and a Karyasthan Krishnanunni (Dileep) who arrives with the intent of bringing about a truce between the two. In the process, he falls in love with Sreebala (Akhila) and wins the hearts of both the Karanavars as well.
The very idea to place two huge families at loggerheads with each other makes up Formula Number One. Usually you see the ancestral houses away from each other, but in this case, you have them on the same plot, and quite conveniently placed adjacent to each other. Even better, since all you need is a giant wall between the two to put up the perfect setting.
That done, we could move on to the familial structure. This would be Formula Two. The two aging Karanavars at the top of both the families resemble lions who have seen better days. Not as agile as they once have been, they still can roar. Both of them have three to four sons each who seem like symbols of universal brother hood in the beginning, but soon turn out to be avenging demons ready to claw each other out. These men have wives as well, who never utter a word, but who remain in a straight line at the back row, whenever you need to click a family picture. They also come out and flash their brilliant smiles once in a while, during celebrations like Onam, when they are usually very busy making the Pookalam and having a good time on the swing.
Formula Number Three would consist of the one bad man who pretends to be an ally, but who in fact has been fanning the flames in the battle between the families all the while. If a murder has been committed, in all likeliness this would be the man behind it. He would also in all probability have a trusted aide with him who would prove useful towards the climax, when the hero drags him onto the middle of the family playground for the grand confession that would finally set things right.
The hero would have to be an all rounder; like in this case, he makes an entry on a cart that has been painted like a Dalmatian puppy drawn by two white horses and makes a somersault like Rajnikanth. He soon displays his skills in cane fighting and has a penchant of taking up seemingly impossible tasks. Formula Number Four.
Performances from the lead actors are even. Dileep does all that he usually does, and so does Suraj. Akhila makes a decent entry into Malayalam films, and looks and acts like a charm. The music on the other hand, barely leaves a mark.
With all these formulaic elements in tact, Karyasthan disappoints as Dileep's hundredth film. Dileep and Suraj do manage to bring in a few giggles, but the film serves as a sure sign that Dileep needs to reinvent himself. Real quick

Hobbies
" I didn't even dream of such a success. God is working so many miracles", says Dileep. However, watching movies has always been Dileep's favourite hobby. He never selects the movies to watch and is interested in all types and languages of films. As different movies have different moods all movies are good according to Dileep. However comedy and action movies are his favourites. However whether he watches the movie on television or in the theatre he never takes the trouble to study more of movie making. He has never participated in any film festival.
He enjoys watching the television too and says it is fun to keep surfing channels. However he complains of not having enough time for this pastime. He loves music too. "I do not know how to sing but I enjoy listening to music. Manju is a very good singer."
Favorite sports- Cricket and Football
Favorite Wardrobe - "Dhoti and shirt is what I am comfortable wearing and what I like wearing the most. From the time I started wearing dhoti, it has remained my most favourite dress." Says the new superstar of Malayalam, Dileep. "Among shirts I prefer cotton shirts. I experience a lot of freedom when wearing the dhoti and at home too I wear the same. The jubba is also okay; it is especially attractive when attending functions. I am not a very fashionable person and wear whatever I am comfortable in" he says.
Black, white, red and pink are the colours I like the most and I wear a ring and a chain regularly. The bracelet I wear only in movies. I like to wear a black thread with my chain. I wear shoes, sandals and slippers but am not particular about any brand or model.
I do not use any make up when going out anywhere except for this "kumkum" on my forehead which is a "prasad" from the Mookambikai temple. I do not give any special care or attention to my hair or body but cut my hair according to the character I play in the movie. Earlier I used to smoke cigarettes. It was a habit I cultivated during my mimicry days. However I have put a complete stop to it now
