KOCHI: Mohanlal-starrer ‘Odiyan’ will hit nearly 2,000 screens worldwide on December 14. One of the most anticipated movies of Mohanlal, ‘Odiyan’ is directed by Shrikumar Menon.
The makers of the movie are also planning to release it in nearly 400 screens in Kerala, the biggest ever release for a Malayalam movie.
“Though we can add more screens in Kerala, considering the chances that it will affect the long-run of the movie, it was decided to limit the release to 400 stations. The movie will be released all over the world on the same day,” said producer Antony Perumbavoor.
Director Shrikumar said ‘Odiyan’ will take Malayalam cinema to the big league and will show to the world that we can also dream of big projects which demand a huge investment. The director and producer were talking to reporters after announcing the tie-up of ‘Odiyan’ movie with telecommunications services provider Airtel.
