Mammootty takes a break to prepare for son's marriage

Malayalam superstar Mammootty is very busy -- but not with movies. He has taken a break from acting to make preparations for the marriage of his actor son Dulquar Salmaan with A. Sufia, an architect.

"Yes, I am busy with the wedding and we are all leaving for Chennai Friday. The marriage is in Chennai on the 22nd of this month," Mammootty told IANS.

He added: "Yes, I have taken a break from my job and there will be a reception here on the 26th December and I will rejoin my work on the new year," said Mammootty known for keeping his family life away from prying eyes of media.

After giving a thought, Salmaan followed his father's footsteps and he has just finished the shoot of his first film "Second Show".

It will not be the usual 'filmy wedding'.

Sufia is the daughter of Syed Nizamuddin, who hails from north India, but is settled in Chennai.

The release of Mammootty's latest film "Venice le Vyappari" got delayed, but it is not expected to hit the theatres on the day of his son's wedding.

'Vyapari' may come a week earlier

The recent strikes witnessed by the Mollywood industry has derailed the release prospects of at least a dozen of films including the films by the megastars and superstars. 'Venicile Vyapari' and 'Oru Marubhumukkatha' were thus shifted for Christmas.

Initially it was  reported that 'Oru Marubhoomikatha'  which marks the comeback of the biggest ever commercial director created by Mollywood-Priyadarsan, will arrive a week earlier on the 16th of December while 'Venicile Vyapari' will make it to theatres only by the 23rd of this month. But as per the information from the release centres, both these movies are now charted to take on each other on the same day, that is on the 16th of December. The two movies which are already censored carried good preview reports. And if both the movies can open up with good initial collections, it is sure to bring back the sunny days of Mollywood.

As of now 'Venicile Vyapari' and 'Oru Marubhoomikkatha' will get into eighty plus theatres on the same day, for the final fight of the superstar films, this year.
