Puli
Murugan,
the
highly
anticipated
Mohanlal
movie
is
finally
hitting
the
screens
on
October
7.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
the
movie
will
not
have
a
massive
release
in
Kerala
as
expected.
Earlier,
the
team
was
planning
to
release
Puli
Murugan
in
about
200
screens
in
Kerala.
But,
according
to
the
reports,
the
team
changed
the
decision
considering
the
excellent
box
office
performance
of
Oppam,
Mohanlal's
recent
release.
Oppam
is
doing
extremely
well
at
the
box
office
and
is
expected
to
emerge
as
the
highest
ever
grosser
of
the
industry.
Reportedly,
Mohanlal
doesn't
want
Puli
Murugan's
release
to
affect
the
performance
of
the
movie.
It
is
obvious
that
Oppam
will
lose
its
footing
at
the
box
office
if
Puli
Murugan
is
released
in
over
200
screens.
The
theatre
owners
might
be
forced
to
lessen
the
number
of
Oppam
shows,
due
to
the
unavailability
of
screens.
So,
Puli
Murugan
will
only
release
in
160
screens
in
Kerala,
but
the
movie
will
hit
about
165
screens
outside
Kerala.
The
crew
is
planning
to
release
the
movie
in
more
screens,
only
after
analysing
the
first
week
collections.
Puli
Murugan
is
directed
by
Vysakh
and
scripted
by
Udayakrishna
of
Sibi
K
Thomas-Udayakrishna
duo.

Mukherjee
essays
the
female
lead
in
the
movie,
which
is
produced
by
Mulakupadam
Films.
