International Chalu Union, one of the popular Malayalam troll pages recently posted a video of a mashup of Mammootty's National award winning flick 'Oru Vadakkan Veera Gaadha' and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
The result is epic.
The trailer mixes visuals from the epic 1989 Malayalam movie with the soundtrack of 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'.
And guess what.
The video, titled 'Northen Wars: The Last Jedi' replaces the Kalari sword from the famous fights like the ones between Chanthu (played by Mammootty) and Tulunadan expert Aringodar with lightsabers.
The video starts with an opening scroll text which is a signature device from the Star Wars series.
The text reads "Aromal Chekavar is dead. In his absence, the sinister first order has risen from the ashes of Puthooram veedu and will not rest until Chanthu, the last Jedi, has been destroyed.
With the support of the REPUBLIC, General Unniyarcha leads a brave resistance and is desperate to find Chanthu and gain his help to restore Tulunadan Kalari."
The video has been edited by Agnivesh SP and uploaded on the official Youtube account of International Chalu Union. Credits for 'Concept' and 'Idea' have been given to Roshan Thomas and Arnold Peterson, respectively.
P.S: Watch for the scene when Mammootty mouths "I got nothing to fight for.".
