Malayalam
movie
Christian
Brothers
was
launched
with
much
pomp
and
show.
The
word
spread
like
fire
about
the
unique
team
of
Mohanlal,
Sureshgopi,
Dileep,
Kavya
Madhavan,
Manoj
K
Jayan,
Biju
Menon,
Padmapriya,
Thilakan
and
the
Action
King
from
Tamil
Arjun
under
the
direction
of
veteran
filmmaker
Joshy.
However
not
much
days
have
passed
since
the
formal
announcement
and
the
movie
is
already
caught
in
a
mesh
of
controversies.
Kerala
Film
Producers
Association
(KFPA)
has
been
vehemently
demanding
a
ban
on
the
Malayalam
movie
Christian
Brothers.
KFPA
President
Sabu
Cheriyan
has
made
it
clear
that
the
production
cost
of
Malayalam
movies
have
to
be
reduced
and
therefore
these
multi-starrers
have
to
be
banned.
According
to
KFPA,
the
remuneration
doled
out
to
the
superstars
is
said
to
be
the
main
reason
for
the
cost
of
a
film
being
on
the
higher
side.
Therefore
KFPA
has
decided
that
in
future
the
total
production
cost
of
a
film
with
a
superstar
in
the
lead
should
not
exceed
Rs
3.5
crores
and
that
the
film
should
be
completed
in
a
time
period
of
45
days.
KFPA
has
announced
that
Christian
Brothers
is
a
big
budget
movie
and
therefore
the
cost
will
go
beyond
Rs
3.5
crores
and
therefore
they
have
to
ban
it.
However
filmmaker
Joshy
and
his
team
are
of
the
notion
that
they
have
been
targeted
as
KFPA
has
a
hidden
agenda.
