Fox Star studio distributes 'Second Show'

Sreenath Rajendran's 'Second Show' featuring Megastar Mammootty's son Dulqar Salman, has become the first Malayalam movie to be distributed by Fox Star Studio, a movie production and distribution company of Twentieth Century Fox and STAR. The firms owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has started distributing the movie in as many as 50 centres outside Kerala from this week .

 
Fox Star studio which has released many Hollywood blockbusters in India was given the exclusive distribution rights outside Kerala for 'Second Show'. An initiative which is termed to be a much beneficial one for the Mollywood industry to find markets outside Kerala, more and more films are likely to get into the list of the giant firm, which is sure to make an impact on the release patterns of the movies from the state. Fox Star, which started functioning in India in 2008, has also collaborated with Indian production companies to release the movies in International markets.

Meanwhile 'Second Show' has emerged the first upset hit of the year, thwarting the prospects of many biggies including that of 'Casanova' which was released a week earlier. This will not only lay a platform for the star performers of the movie including Dulqar Salman, but will also help its crew which is composed of mostly freshers.

Dad's goodwill gave me a head start: Dulquar Salman

• "Second Show", the debut film of Mammootty's son Dulquar Salman, has hit the theatres and the newcomer says his father's goodwill has given him a head start, but admits that he will have to work hard to carve a niche for himself.
  
  "Without doubt, his (Mammootty) goodwill has given me a head start. I know very well now that I will have to work hard because that is the only thing that will keep going forward," Salman told IANS.
  
  A graduate from the US, Salman has been busy managing his father's money matters before entering acting business. He is currently shooting for his second film, "Ustad Hotel".
  
  "I was getting a few offers and I took the plunge after a lot of thinking. I felt if I should try my luck, so later I do not have any regrets. I am extremely happy that I decided to act as lots of offers are coming my way. I have decided to be in this profession," said Salman.
  
  When asked whether his father has seen his debut film, he replied in the affirmative, adding: "Normally my father doesn't say much." This is true as the superstar has refused to comment on his son's film!
  
  "My biggest advantage is that if I have doubts, I have my father to fall back on. And while working on my debut film, I sought his advice," said Salman who would love to work with his dad, but added: "Don't you think that I have to earn that and for that I have to put in real hard work." 
  
  The actor, who got married to A. Sufia last December, said about his wife: "Language is a barrier for her but half the problem is sorted out because she lives in my home and my parents like her a lot. We have now learned to adjust to the fact that we can't be spending a lot of time together because of my acting commitments."
