Mohanlal's Marakkar under pressure?
Kerala is at the top of the list, with the most corona cases added to India's total count. As a result, the state government has enacted a slew of new regulations and is working hard to limit the infection. The Pinrayi Vijayan-led government also plans to tighten the grip over theatres even further, causing a stir in the industry. Due to prior lockdowns, the majority of the film crew has relocated to tamil Nadu to finish the remaining filming.
Now, Mohan Lal's much-anticipated film has become entangled in the maelstrom, and the film Marakkar, which was supposed to be released yesterday on august 12 has been postponed till next year which is causing a huger pressure for the team to hold the movie for so long.
The state's movie theatres will be closed until at least december due to an increase in Covid-19 cases, according to Saji Cheriyan, the state's minister of Culture. “The rising number of Covid-19 cases is alarming. Only when the TPR rate falls below 8% may theatres be considered for the opening. The increase in Covid-19 fatalities must be treated seriously, according to Saji Cheriyan. Many films, such as the big-budget ‘Marakkar,' are awaiting release in theatres. Saji Cheriyan's comment is alarming to both filmmakers and moviegoers.
