Director VM Vinu on why Mammootty’s Face to Face flopped

Director VM Vinu is making a comeback to movies after a gap of 4 years through his latest movie Maruapadi. The movie stars Bhama and Rahman in the lead roles.

VM Vinu’s last movie was Megastar Mammootty’s Face to Face. Mammootty played the role of a police officer in the film. Face to Face was a failure in the box office.

Recently in an interview when asked about why the movie could not do well, the director said “It was a very significant theme that deals with present situation prevailing in the society.

A girl is raped by four youngsters and a police officer also comes in between this. Mammootty liked the plot very much and he hopped on to the project. But Malayali audience could not receive the theme.

Loopholes in the script also affected the movie. Many people say that success or failure do not really affect them, but for me sucess inspires me while failures makes me feel low”.

VM Vinu has directed many acclaimed movies like Balettan, Vesham, Yes Your Honour etc.

Marupadi is a women centric that deals with a woman who gets remanded for 14 days and her experiences during this period while in the jail. The movie is written by Julaina Ashraf.

Apart from Bhama and Rahman many other actors like Baby Nayanthara, Santhosh Keezhattoor, Meenakshi, Anjali Upasana, Srinda Arhaan, Tessa, Sudheer Mukherjee, Krishnakumar play pivotal roles in the movie.

Marupadi is produced by Ashraf Bedi, under the banner of Bedi Motion Pictures.
