Minnal Murali shoot resumes in Karnataka

Minnal Murali shoot resumes in Karnataka

After almost a 10-month long gap caused due to the pandemic, the makers of ‘Minnal Murali’ have resumed shoot. Huge sets have been erected in Karnataka where the team is currently filming some important portions. From the location stills, the sets look similar to the one that was erected in Kalady, which later got demolished by Hindu extremist groups.

Last year, in May, Bajrang Dal activists demolished the structure of a huge church erected for the film’s shoot. The film’s climax portions were supposed to be shot in this church. Unfortunately, the Kalady schedule could not begin in time due to the lockdown. The activists stormed the area and vandalised the set alleging that it stood on Hindu grounds. Later, many from the industry came out calling the incident and requested the government to take severe action against the perpetrators. The makers had to suffer a colossal loss due to the unfortunate incident.

No second shows in Kerala; The Priest release postponed yet again!

No second shows in Kerala; The Priest release postponed yet again!

Much to the disappointment of fans, the makers of Mammootty’s ‘The Priest’ have postponed the film’s release. The film was scheduled to fit screens on March 4 but the plan has been dropped as the Kerala government has denied permissions for second shows in fear of the second wave of pandemic.

Though theatres in Kerala resumed functioning in January, box office collections have been very ordinary so far. The 50% audience cap and no second show means that footfalls have been very less in theatre across the state. Various talks were held between the government officials, producers association and exhibitors union. However, they couldn’t arrive on a common ground regarding the permission for second shows, which has forced the makers of ‘The Priest’ to pull out at the last moment.

Directed by debutant Jofin T Chacko, ‘The Priest’ promises to be a mystery thriller. The promos have been impressive and expectations were high among fans. The makers will be hoping that the situation gets better, so that the government grants permission for 4 shows at the earliest.
