Demonetizing 500 and 1000 rupees have affected Pulimurugan collection : Tomichan Mulakupadam

The central government’s move to illegalize the 500 and 1000 rupee notes have affected the collections of Malayalam cinema’s biggest blockbuster Pulimurugan.

Producer Tomichan Mulakupadam has said that not even a single penny of the profit from the movie has reached him directly. He has welcomed the Indian government’s decision to illegalize the 500 and 1000 rupee notes. But he also added that this move has affected the collections of Pulimurugan badly.

Pulimurugan recently became the first Malayalam movie to enter the 100 crore club. The movie continued its terrific run even after a month of its release. Last weekend also witnessed houseful shows in almost all the theatres in Kerala. But collections have dipped very low in the last two days.

Pulimurugan is doing great business overseas also. In the Middle East region, the movie is running to packed theatres in most centres. Same is the case in European countries like UK and Germany.

Pulimurugan is expected to continue its amazing run once the new notes are circulated as usual. Trade experts have indicated that Pulimurugan will do a worldwide business of over 150 crores.
