Mammootty’s much-awaited magnum opus historical film Pazhassi Raja, directed by Hariharan and scripted by M.T. Vasudevan Nair, received an overwhelming response at the box office on its opening day (October 16). The film has reportedly grossed an amazing record Rs 1.53 crore from 125 screens in Kerala on Friday alone.
This is the highest-ever opening day collection for any film in Kerala, breaking the record of Twenty:20. Pazhassi Raja, made at a budget of over Rs. 25 crores, has been dubbed in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.
Mammootty, who is on Cloud Nine and basking in glory, said that this is the cinema of the century. "My mobile hasn't stopped ringing since morning and each and every caller is as excited as I am. Believe me, this is what inspires me to work harder," Mammootty said. Set in the 18th century, the film is about Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja of the Kottayam royal family.
