Kochi, January 23 - Malayalam superstar Mohanlal must be on cloud nine after scoring a big blockbuster success at the box office in the form of courtroom drama "Neru". Jeetu Joseph's directorial movie grossed over 85 crores at the worldwide box office while total business including OTT and satellite is over 100 crores.

After Neru, Mohanlal could score another big commercial success in under two months with his upcoming period action drama Malaikottai Vaaliban, directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery. The movie is seen as a potential blockbuster by the Malayalam trade and as far as the opening is concerned, the movie is set for a big start.



The bookings for Malaikottai Vaaliban are pretty good at around 2.60 crores gross (including block seats) for the opening day, which is one of the biggest for a Malayalam title. With still more than a day left for the release, the pre-sales of the movie should easily finish over 3 crores for the opening day.

The pre-sales trend is good enough for the movie to open with 5+ crores gross at the domestic box office. In fact, this is the highest advance for a Mohanlal movie in recent times, so that is a positive sign for the film and if it gets a positive reception, then it can emerge as one of the biggest Malayalam hits ever.

The film is jointly produced by John & Mary Creative, Century Films, Maxlab Cinemas and Entertainments, and Yoodlee Films, along with Amen Movie Monastery. The film stars Mohanlal in the title role alongside Sonalee Kulkarni, Hareesh Peradi, Danish Sait, and Manikandan R. Achari, among others in key roles.

Malaikottai Vaaliban is scheduled to be released on January 25, during the Republic Day weekend.
