The idea of two big stars acting together in one movie always excites fans. In Telugu cinema, people have often imagined what it would be like if Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna acted together in a film. Even after many decades in the industry, this dream has not become reality. Both actors have expressed interest on different public stages, but no director has come forward with a strong story suitable for both stars.
However, Malayalam cinema fans seem to be luckier in this matter. A new multistarrer film titled Patriot has brought together two legendary actors, Mammootty and Mohanlal. The two stars have acted together in the past, but it has been many years since they shared the screen. Because of this, the announcement of the film created huge excitement among fans.
The film is planned for release on April 23. Apart from Mammootty and Mohanlal, the movie also features popular actors Fahadh Faasil, Nayanthara, and Kunchacko Boban. With such a powerful cast, the movie has already gained a lot of attention across the country.
Patriot is an action thriller directed by Mahesh Narayanan. He is known for making different kinds of films like Take Off and C U Soon. Because of his reputation for making unique movies, many movie lovers are eagerly waiting for this project. The makers have also decided to release the film in multiple languages by dubbing it into Telugu, Tamil, and other major languages.
However, a problem has recently come up regarding the film’s release. According to reports from the film trade in Kochi, the producer Anto Joseph has proposed a new revenue sharing model with distributors and theatre owners. He reportedly asked for 60 percent of the collections for the first two weeks, leaving only 40 percent for exhibitors.
This proposal has created strong opposition from distributors. Usually, the revenue share changes every week. In the traditional system, the producer takes 60 percent in the first week and about 55 percent in the second week. But asking for the same percentage for two weeks has worried theatre owners.
Distributors say that if the film does not perform very well at the box office, they may suffer losses. Because of this disagreement, there are now doubts about whether the film will release on the planned date.
Still, there are about 45 days left before the scheduled release. Industry insiders believe the issue might be solved soon, allowing Patriot to reach theatres as planned.
