Kayamkulam Kochunni most likely to break the opening day collection record!

After months of waiting, Kayamkulam Kochunni is finally releasing this Friday (October 11). The movie directed by Rosshan Andrrews is the biopic of legendary highwayman Kayamkulam Kochunni. Nivin Pauly plays the titular role in the movie. Along with Nivin Pauly, the presence of Mohanlal in the cast is the movie’s major selling point. The two stars are coming together for the first time, and fans are highly excited about it.

As per reports, the movie will have a whopping 1600 shows on its opening day across Kerala. This is a new record for the most number of shows in the state. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which had 1370 shows on its opening day is the current record holder. Kayamkulam Kochunni is also expected to register a new record in the opening day box office collections.

In what is supposedly the first in Indian cinema, the makers have planned to screen the movie non-stop for 24 hours in 19 centres. Multiplex giant Carnival Cinemas have joined hands for this initiative and they will be screening the movie non-stop on the opening day. Though many other films have had 24 hour screenings on the opening day, this is the first time that it is being done on such a large scale.

Kayamkulam Kochunni was initially scheduled for release during the Onam season but had to be postponed due to the floods. The new release date, October 11, also happens to the birthday of lead actor Nivin Pauly. This is by far the biggest project in his career and releasing it on his birthday makes it even more special for the actor and his fans.
