Another film in Germany

Though some Malayalam films has been shot at the Middle East, very few films had ever tried it in Germany. The last time Mollywood featured Germany in its frames was for the movie 'Mazhavillu' featuring Vineeth, and Kunchakko Boban. Now after a decade for this movie, we will soon have another new move shoot at Germany.

Yes, the new movie from Megastar Mammootty with director Renjith will be shot at Germany. The crew which is planning a 15 day shoot at this great nation will have Mammootty playing a malayalee living in Germany who is suddenly entrusted to work as a local manager to a group of film artists planning to perform at various stages across the country. This movie in a lighter vein is expected to repeat the magic of 'Panchiyettan and the Saint' which had the duo of Renjith and Mammootty together last time.

Kammath finally break even

After a fine start, Mammootty-Dileep combo's 'Kammath and Kammath ' finally managed to break even in it's fourth weekend.The movie made in around eight crores got a satellite right of 4.5 crores and was destined to collect more than three and half crores from the Box Office, if it had to turn a profit maker . Though it make a rollicking start at the collection windows in the first weekend, the interests on the movie gradually dipped down with a handful of movies coming up in the next weekends.  Anyhow after four weeks, producer Anto Joseph has a sigh of relief with the movie's returns narrowly  over the spend capital.'Kammath and Kammath ' continues in 20 plus centres in its fifth week.

Meanwhile, the winner of the month seems to be Biju Menon-Boban Kunchakko starrer "Romans' which had made a steady collection of three and half crores net in its fifth week. The movie which has emerged a super hit will make a profit of at-least three crores profit  to its producers. 

Mohanlal's 'Lokpal 'is having the poorest run of any Joshy film in this decade.The movie has slipped to just three release centres in its fourth week and will probably  end its run by next week.

Meanwhile, Annayaum Rasoolum' which has already won three state  awards this year, has completed its fifty day run in select theatres. The movie is a critical and commercial success in all counts..

The unfavourable climate and locations are said to be the reasons for the changes in the shoot schedules.

Anyhow, the cast and crew of the movie will immediately kick start another movie which is yet to be titled soon. This new project will have a German backdrop and will tell the lives of a protagonist who has stayed for a long time in Germany. The movies will tell the interesting episodes when the lead character  is asked to coordinate a stage show which features a few Malayalee film stars.

Apart from Mammootty, the movie will also feature Lalu Alex, Kottyam Nazeer, and Suresh Krishan along with a big cast.
