Prithviraj becomes the first debutant director to enter the 100 crore club in South Indian cinema
Last day, the makers of ‘Lucifer’ had officially announced that the movie has crossed the magical 100 crore mark. The movie achieved this incredible feat from its first eight days of theatrical run. Mohanlal, who has also produced the movie under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas, took to his social media to thank his team and the audience for such a big success. His post reads,
Friends, sharing with you an all incredible feat !
Yes, in just 8 days, Lucifer is in the coveted 100 crores club. This is truly humbling. Thanks to each and every one of you for your unwavering support without which this would never have happened. You are changing the face of Malayalam Film Industry and taking it into uncharted territories. Thanks to Prithviraj Sukumaran, Murali Gopy, Antony Perumbavoor and the entire Team L.
With his phenomenal achievement, Prithviraj has become the first director in South Indian cinema to deliver a 100 crore film on debut. Prior to release, ‘Lucifer’ had massive hype majorly due to the fact that Prithviraj and Mohanlal were coming together for the first time. As it turned out to be, the movie opened to positive response from the common audience and from then, there was no stopping. Now it is just a matter of few days before ‘Lucifer’ beats ‘Pulimurugan’ gross to become the biggest blockbuster in Malayalam cinema.
