Looks
like
Kerala
Film
Distributors
Association
is
not
happy
with
Lyca
Productions
as
the
former
issued
a
notice
to
its
members
to
not
commit
to
any
movie
from
the
production
house.
The
notice
comes
owing
to
the
poor
performance
of
Rajinikanth's
Darbar,
2.0
and
Suriya's
Kaappaan
at
the
box
office.
According
to
buzz,
the
circular
comes
after
the
news
doing
rounds
about
Lyca
trying
to
sell
Arun
Vijay-Priya
Bhavani
Shankar-starrer
Mafia
to
a
new
party.
Ministudio
and
KTC
group
wanted
to
buy
Mafia
as
a
loss
settlement
of
Kaala
and
Darbar
respectively
but
were
rejected
by
the
company.
Earlier
during
the
release
of
Darbar
in
January,
a
contrary
statement
had
come
from
the
distributors
with
some
calling
the
Thalaivar's
film
a
success
while
the
other
tagging
it
a
flop.
Hence,
tension
has
soared
between
Lyca
and
Kerala
Film
Distributors
as
Mafia:
Chapter
1
is
just
three
days
away
from
its
release
Directed
by
Karthick
Naren,
Mafia:
Chapter
1
is
an
action
thriller
with
celebrated
actor
Prasanna
in
a
negative
role.
The
movie
has
been
making
headlines
ever
since
the
makers
announced
it
and
pushed
the
release
date.
To
keep
the
enthusiasm
alive
among
the
audience,
recently
the
makers
had
dropped
a
25
seconds
video
of
Arun
Vijay
and
Prasanna
delivering
their
dialogues.
