Mammootty out from Vishu race

Superstar Mammootty is not going to have a release for this year's Vishu season. This is going to happen for the first time in the history of Malayalam film industry ever since Mammootty was crowned as the Superstar of Malayalam. Actually around 4 films featuring Mammootty in the lead were to be finished by the season but now it's hearing that none of the film will make it to the theatres.

First of all, it was Mammootty's big budget billingual movie Vande Matharam, which was slated for a release on April 10. The film that takes long time in production is now complete but the producer of the film is delaying the release, as some areas are yet to be sold. Other film that was scheduled for a release on April 14 was Mammootty's magnum opus Pazhassi Raja. This film too will not make a release for this year's Vishu season mainly due to the delay in dubbing since it will take time as the film is being made in five languages.

Other two films that too were in the race for the Mammootty's Vishu films are Johny Antony directed Pattanathil Bhootham and Shaji N Karun directed Kutty Shranku. The former one was actually scheduled for a release on May 1st, but now it's hearing that since the film requires lot's of graphic works and special effects, it may be postponed. Latter one in the list is ready for release, but the internationally reputed director, Shaji N Karun is trying to show it first at 2009 Cannes film festival.

So, it is sad to tell you that for this year's Vishu season there will not be any Mammootty films to entertain his fans as well as the ordinary viewers.
