Priyadarshan Calls For CM Pinarayi Vijayan Intervention In Producer-Exhibitor Fix

With deadlock between Malayalam film exhibitors and producers over revenue sharing continue, prominent director Priyadarshan has called for CM Pinarayi Vijayan intervention. He accused Exhibitor's Federation for killing the Malayalam cinema by bringing different issues, such as revenue sharing and wide releases. Priyadarshan has been one of the most respectable figures in Mollywood and there is a possibility that honourable CM may interfere in this situation.

"The Film Exhibitors Federation has always tried to destroy Malayalam cinema. At a time when Malayalam cinema enters the Rs 100 crore club, a permanent solution should be found to end this," the popular filmmaker said.

He further said that the state has a strong chief minister in Pinarayi and he can help in bringing consensus between these two parties. The Kilukkam director suggested that a strong and long lasting decision is needed to end the crisis and protect the interest of Malayalam industry. The crisis has led to freezing of any new release, which is hampering Mohanlal-starrer Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol and Dulquer Salmaan's Sathyan Anthikkad-directed flick Jomonte Suvisheshangal.
