    Directed by Vikram Kumar, ‘Time Story’ stars South Indian superstar Suriya in triple roles. The film starts with Dr. Sethuram (Suriya), a scientist, who leads a happy life with his wife Priya (Nithya Menen) and newborn son Mani. His invents a watch that helps the wearer travel back and forth in time for 24 hours. His evil brother Athreya (Suriya) grows greedy for the watch and Sethuram’s family is destroyed into pieces. Athreya kills Priya in the process while Sethuram runs with Mani, to save their life. He hands over Mani to Sathyabama (Saranya Ponvannan), a stranger in the train while escaping from his brother. Sathyabama takes a promise of taking care of Mani, all her life. Sethuram loses his life in a fight with Athreya, who also gets severely injured.

    Telugu horror franchise ‘Mantra 2’ to release on 3 July

    MUMBAI: Ever since the success of Rajinikanth’s Robot and Boss in the north, the market for south cinema is fast growing every year.  After successfully releasing Tamil horror – thriller Masss all across north India, Impossible Films has acquired the rights of Mantra 2, part of the hit horror franchise Mantra (2007) for north India territory. Mantra 2 will be released on 3 July, 2015 across north India.

     

    Directed by Venkat Prabhu, Masss stars Tamil super star Suriya alongside Nayantara in the lead. The movie grossed Rs 17.30 crore in its opening weekend. Masss was also in the horror thriller category with a few comic elements, while Mantra 2 is a far more edge of the seat horror. The story of the movie revolves around a haunted farmhouse Mantra Nilayam, which is owned by Mantra (Charmi). The director of Mantra 2 has said that it is not a sequel to its predecessor but is in the same genre as the first one.

     

    Masss grossed $121,000 at the US box office. Helmed by ace director S. V. Suresh and staring Charmy Kaur, the movie is expected to garner even better results at the box office than its prequel Mantra, which was a huge hit. 

     

    Impossible Films managing director Murlidhar Tilwani said, “Indian audiences are now hungry for good cinema. Along with international projects, there has been a great increase in demand for south origin cinema, especially Tamil. We are confident the movie will do well in the north as it has already in south.”
