Also,

to

facts
about

Thalirkkumbol.
One
Of
the
Biggest
Malayalam
Movie
Releases
Of
Recent
Times
The
makers
have
planned
a
big
release
for
the
film.
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol
has
opened
at
close
to
180
screens
in
Kerala,
which
is
huge
considering
the
fact
that
it
is
a
family
movie.
The
movie
has
also
grabbed
good
number
of
screens
outside
Kerala,
as
well.
Reportedly,
the
film
has
been
released
at
337
screens
across
India.
Anoop
Menon’s
Role
Was
Supposed
To
be
Done
By
Biju
Menon
Actor
Anoop
Menon
will
be
seen
portraying
an
important
character
in
the
movie.
Interestingly,
while
the
movie
was
announced
the
name
of
Biju
Menon
was
doing
the
rounds
for
this
particular
role.
But,
the
actor
had
to
pull
out
of
the
project
owing
to
his
busy
schedules.
Earlier
Planned
As
A
November
2016
Release
Interestingly,
the
makers
were
planning
to
release
the
film
during
the
month
of
November
and
the
works
of
film
were
progressing
in
such
a
manner.
Later,
the
makers
decided
to
push
forward
the
dates
since
Mohanlal's
Pulimurugan
was
ruling
the
roost
in
those
days.
Sophia
Paul
–
The
Person
Who
Funded
Some
Quality
Movies
The
film
has
been
produced
by
Sophia
Paul
under
the
banner
Weekend
Blockbusters.
This
name
itself
is
a
big
boost
for
the
film
as
the
films
that
she
has
produced
so
far,
have
been
quality
ones.
She
is
the
person
who
bankrolled
movies
like
Bangalore
Days
and
Kaadu
Pookkunna
Neram.
Meena
Wasn’t
The
First
Choice
For
Anniyamma
Initially,
the
makers
were
planning
to
cast
a
newcomer
in
the
role
of
Annieyamma,
the
leading
lady
of
the
film.
But
later,
they
dropped
that
idea
and
zeroed
in
on
Meena,
who
has
appeared
with
Mohanlal
in
good
number
of
films,
with
the
previous
film
being
Drishyam.
Shot
Mainly
In
Calicut
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol
narrates
the
life
of
a
person
named
Ulahanna,
who
is
a
government
official.
The
major
portions
of
the
film
were
shot
in
and
around
Calicut.
A
song
sequence
of
the
film
was
shot
in
Simla
whereas
another
song
was
shot
near
the
Alappuzha
region.

Teaming
Up
With
M
Sindhuraj

who
has
scripted
some
big
hits
like
Elsamma
Enna
Aankutty,
Puthiya
Mukham,
Pullipuliyam
Aankuttiyum
has
scripted
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol.
It
is
for
the
first
time
that
he
is
penning
a
movie
for
Mohanlal.
Munthirivallikal
Thalirkkumbol
is
a
loose
adaptation
of
V
J
James's
much
acclaimed
short
story
Pranayopanishath.
Reportedly,
it
is
not
a
page-to-page
adaptation
of
