Overall: Article was new enough when nominated, is long enough, takes a neutral point of view, and has no copyvio problems (the YouTube descriptions that report strong similarity are newer than the article, and thus presumably are derivative of Wikipedia rather than the other way round). The topic is still a future film, but the coverage cited clears the notability threshold. I wrapped all the bare citations and removed one name not supported by the "Casting" citation and one claim not supported by the final source under "Filming"; I'm assuming good faith on the Malayalam-language source. I don't see that the provided source supports the claim that Jose was "supposed to" have directed Shikkar, so I've proposed an alternate hook that removes that claim. With that simplified hook, it's ready to go for DYK. Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 17:53, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for reviewing this @Bryanrutherford0:, as this was long overdue. The very first question asked to Jose in [3] says that he was supposed to direct a movie called Balaraman which was later made as Shikkar by M Padmakumar. Please go through the reference again if you can, as that is a fact that most people would not have known. If you are still not convinced, I would be okay with ALT1.

I may not be looking in the right place; what I'm seeing is: "What went wrong with the earlier Mohan Lal projects?" "The first one was ‘Balaraman’. The idea by S Sureshbabu was later changed to Shikkar by M Padmakumar." I guess I feel like Jose isn't really answering the question there; he doesn't say why "the idea ... was changed", and the inclusion feels confusing to me without some explanation of, as the interviewer says, "what went wrong." I don't come away from that quote with a clear understanding that Jose "was supposed to" direct Shikkar or of why he ultimately did not, and I think many other readers would feel similarly dubious.-Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 02:35, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks anway Bryanrutherford0. Though I still find it a little harsh, I am fine with ALT1. JupitusSmart 03:00, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
