Lucifer and Oru Yamandan Premakadha to clash at the box office

If reports are to be believed, Malayalam industry is set to witness a huge box office clash this summer. Mohanlal’s highly anticipated film ‘Lucifer’ is already scheduled for release on March 28. Latest reports suggest that Dulquer Salmaan’s ‘Oru Yamandan Premakadha’ is also releasing on the same day. If it happens, it is perhaps the first time the two actors are coming face to face.

Dulquer and Mohanlal are arguably the biggest stars in Malayalam in terms of their crowd pulling capacity. It will be interesting to see who among the two emerges as the winner. ‘Lucifer’ is a political thriller which marks the directorial debut of actor Prithviraj. Mohanlal plays a grey-shaded politician’s role in the movie. The very fact that these two leading stars are coming together for the first time has skyrocketed the expectations. Besides that the movie also boasts of a stellar star cast comprising of Indrajith Sukumaran, Vivek Oberoi, Tovino Thomas and Manju Warrier.

On the other hand, ‘Oru Yamandan Premakadha’ (OYP) is a kind of film that Dulquer has not done so far in his career. Directed by BC Noufal, the movie is touted to be a full-on commercial mass entertainer. The superhit writer duo of Bibin George and Vishnu Unnikrishnan have scripted the movie. ‘OYP’ will be a colourful mass entertainer on the lines of the writer duo’s previous works, ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’ and ‘Kattappanayile Rithwik Roshan’. The movie also marks Dulquer’s comeback to his home turf after over a year, so expectations are multifold.
