Jayasurya’s Thrissur Pooram joins Christmas race; Release date announced

‘Thrissur Pooram’ is the latest entrant to the list of Malayalam films slated for release next month during the Christmas season. The official announcement regarding its release date was made just a while back. The Jayasurya starrer will be hitting screens on December 20. Mammootty’s much-hyped ‘Shylock’, Shane Nigam’s ‘Valiya Perunnal’, Prithviraj’s ‘Driving License’ and Dileep’s ‘My Santa’ are the other four films scheduled for release during the same time. Mohanlal’s ‘Big Brother’ are Fahadh Faasil’s ‘Trance’ were also initially part of the race but recently got postponed to early next year.

Expectations are high on ‘Thrissur Pooram’ as it is believed to be the most expensive film in Jayasurya’s career. It is directed by Rajesh Mohanan and produced by Vijay Babu’s Friday Film House. Music director Ratheesh Vega is debuting as scriptwriter with this film, which is touted to be an action-packed mass entertainer. Jayasurya plays a larger-than-life character named Pullu Giri in the film.
