Kayamkulam Kochunni to be screened non-stop for 24 hours in 19 centres
The highly anticipated Rosshan Andrrews directorial Kayamkulam Kochunni is storming screens on October 11. 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. Natural, the pre-release hype is massive and the makers are planning to make the maximum out of it.
If reports are to be believed, the movie will be released in over 300 screens across Kerala alone. They have already acquired license for six shows on opening day, which starts with the first show from morning 7 AM. Another interesting info is that 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 slated 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 Nivin’s career and releasing it on his birthday makes it even more special for the actor and his fans.
Made on a budget of Rs 45 crores, Kayakulam Kochunni is one of the most expensive movies ever made in Malayalam cinema. Gokulam Gopalan has produced the movie under his banner Sri Gokulam Films.
