The Hindi version of the 2018 hit in Kerala is gearing up for a North Indian release. As part of the promotion of the film, director Jude Anthony Joseph, stars Tovino Thomas, Asif Ali, Tanvi Ram, and producer Venu Kunnappilly arrived in Mumbai yesterday. The makers informed about the Hindi release in a discussion held after the special screening organized by Film Companion.
The Hindi release will be on May 12. In the program, Tovino Thomas spoke emotionally about his situation of not being able to release pan-Indian films despite making great efforts. Do you know how hard it is for us to get an image into the national spotlight? We work on tight budgets. When we make a film, our remuneration is only a small percentage of its total budget. We do not work for money but with passion. We are a small state in the southern tip of India. Our predecessors used to make very good pictures. But our films are released in very few theatres.
