Mohanlal
is
unarguably
the
biggest
crowd-puller
of
contemporary
Malayalam
cinema.
The
superstar
has
an
immense
fan
following
among
both
the
Malayali
and
non-Malayalam
speaking
audiences,
which
makes
him
the
most
bankable
star
we
have,
right
now.
Interestingly,
the
Kerala
theatres
are
now
gearing
up
for
a
reopening
with
two
back-to-back
Mohanlal
films,
Marakkar
and
Aaraattu.
Recently
the
representatives
of
the
Kerala
Theatre
Owners
Association
have
confirmed
that
the
theatres
in
the
state,
including
multi-plexes,
will
re-open
on
October
25,
Monday.
The
representatives
of
the
association
also
revealed
that
the
much-awaited
Mohanlal
projects,
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
and
Aaraattu,
are
confirmed
for
the
theatrical
releases.
The
theatre
owners
are
confident
that
the
releases
of
two
back-to-back
Mohanlal
films
will
bring
the
theatres
of
the
state
back
to
life.
Even
though
around
100
films
are
gearing
up
for
theatrical
releases,
the
theatre
owners
stated
that
they
have
great
expectations
from
both
Marakkar
and
Aaraattu.
The
representatives
also
confirmed
that
they
discussed
the
same
with
both
Mohanlal
and
the
makers
of
the
films,
who
assured
them
of
the
theatrical
releases.
The
theatre
owners
also
added
that
they
are
planning
to
have
a
meeting
with
the
representatives
of
the
Kerala
government
on
October
22,
Friday.
In
the
meeting,
the
theatre
owners
are
expected
to
put
forward
their
demands
before
the
reopening.
More
details
on
the
same
are
expected
to
be
revealed
on
Friday.
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
which
marks
Mohanlal's
reunion
with
his
best
buddy,
senior
filmmaker
Priyadarshan,
is
a
historical
drama.
The
project
has
been
made
as
the
costliest
film
ever
produced
by
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
Aaraattu,
on
the
other
hand,
marks
Mohanlal's
fifth
collaboration
with
director
B
Unnikrishnan.
The
much-awaited
project
is
touted
to
be
a
complete
mass
entertainer.
