Clash between exhibitors federation and producers : Trouble for release of Christmas movies

Malayalam cinema has time and again suffered due to the clashes between various organizations.

Organizations like actors association, producers association, directors union, theatre owners federation, distributors union have all frequently clashed with each other ultimately affecting the prospects of the industry.

This time the Exhibit Federation have demanded for half the shares of the theatrical collections. The distributors and producers union are against this. They allege that the Federation has breached the regulations that both parties have earlier agreed upon.

As a result film production will be stopped in Mollywood from December 18. This will directly affect the release of almost 20 movies scheduled to release during the Christmas season. Stopping the shoot tentatively can have great impact and incur huge commercial losses for many people.

Highly expected movies like Mohanlal’s Munthiri Vallikalal Thalirkkumbol, Mammootty’s The Great Father, Prithviraj’s Ezra,  Dulquer Salmaan’s Jomonte Suviseshangal are all scheduled to release for this Christmas season.

The film industry is already suffering badly due to the government’s decision of demonetizing the higher denomination currency. Many movies scheduled to release last week have been postponed.

We hope that the organizations can soon sort out their issues and find a amicable solution to their problems without affecting the film industry.
