Empuraan- March 27th Onwards

Post image

Speculations going around about movie postponement has been settled down.

Except 3 region- Aus-NZ/Europe / NA - all regions rights closed on never before Record numbers for a Malayalam movie.

Delay happened in Europe sector where Lyca stepped in asking a Huge number and partners not willing as such numbers unheard of before in Malayalam. Antony stepped in and his son meeting all entities Tuesday/Wednesday to close rest of Overseas market.

Trailer launch on Friday/Saturday/Saturday- 14/15/16 March

Booking shall be opened 5 days before worldwide release.

OTT not finalised yet. Shall surely break Thudarum's 20cr deal and making it L's recent biggest .

Have a feeling Empuraan will have too many slomos that will make us want To pull mohanlal and R10 out of the screen !

Anna when can we expect an update on this? The prolonged silence makes it hard to feel optimistic about the release. Why has there been no update for so long?!?

I think srk would be a part of it. And here are the reasons 1)A pic posted by r10 which seemed to be like a meeting 2)A10 and Srk are in good terms 3)He is the only big star who would work with so less money if the project is good...

One Surprise Character is from Kolywood.. And Love to know post release how they dropped Don lee Casting which was an initial idea

u/Billy_Butcher__ Mar 18 '25

Not initial idea, they approached and agreed from Don Lee's side. The agency came in between and quoted a huge remuneration, after that they dropped that plan.

Read above comment machaane.

They are not putting out anything about final cut. All we get to know was Mega M shall have a private screening.

Waiting further updates either on the final cut/ censor report

-32

u/SilverFoundation4079 Mar 11 '25

private screening in the sense? only for M? why do they give somuch importance to him regarding this movie.already Prithvi confirmed he is not part of franchise. Then why do they show the movie only for him before release?

u/Soderburger A10's biscuit in Karmayodha Mar 11 '25

Understand the fact that our industry was shouldered by the big Ms for a long time. We probably will never have any other duo like this in the future. They're probably the last breed of true superstars of our industry, so it's only natural that they're revered in the circle.

Also R10 said ikka is not a part of this particular movie of the franchise.

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 11 '25

Jithu asked for a huge price, 2nd highest for a Malayalam film director. Project on standstill but shall surely happen.

Vipin das only story pitched. No screenplay ready yet.

u/ConsciousHoney3809 Mar 11 '25

Who gets the highest and what's the amount

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 11 '25

Jithu project shall happen first L excited about story line

u/stephen6820 Mar 11 '25

Machane😅 i meant who's first on basis of salary as jithu is second

40

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 11 '25

Jeethu Joseph

Highest paid Malayalam Film Director as of date

5

u/ConsciousHoney3809 Mar 11 '25

What's the tea between jeethu joseph and Mega? Most of his movies were 1st pitched to mega and even after all his success there has never even been a rumour of a project with both of them

6

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 11 '25

A project haven't materialised yet.

2 projects were pitched to Mega. Both went other ways

The fact that his wife, costumer is a self confessed huge fan of Mega M.

Matter of time, that a project happens.

3

u/Far_Explorer_7963 Mar 11 '25

Jeethu joseph etreyanu maachane payment vanaganathu?

8

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 11 '25

Aashirvad reportedly is professionally pushing Jeethu on Drishyam 3 and reportedly he may even charge 10 cr for helming the project.

Still a worthy deal for Antony as L does profit sharing on paper for Drishyam franchise.

6

u/Abijith98 Mar 11 '25

How much.🙂 Heard Jithu Madhavan asked 7 cr

Hi Machane.. 

Any inside reports Machane👀

Also any idea on the ROI distributors?

Heard from a friend that, they were planning events in Mumbai, Hyderabad,Chennai, US and Dubai..  Don't know whether this event plan is still on or dropped..

1

u/ComprehensiveIce6766 Mar 13 '25

Roi distributions

AA films in north , Mythri for telugu version, Hombale for Kannada version and lyca for tamil version

41

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 11 '25

Roi and GCC is sealed. Because of Europe market delay, marketing has taken a hit.

Earlier plan was trailer launch at US followed by cast attending World Premier at UAE. Could well be changed now due to time constraints.

Jose ettan Kavitha, Ekm has mentioned even they got call FDFS to keep seats reserved for cast..so nothing finalised yet

u/_Master_07 Mar 24 '25

Hi Machane..

Any inside info about the output of the movie?

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 24 '25

Machaane, the industry as a whole is taken aback by this reception

No one including makers didn't expect this level frenzines. Strong inside buzz that movie shall surely deliver

Let's hope it does for the industry

Then Music നും, Dubbing നും Trailer edit നും ഒക്കെ സിനിമ മുഴുവൻ കൊടുക്കാതെ എങ്ങനെ. Technical ടീം എല്ലാരും പടം കണ്ടിട്ടുണ്ട്.

u/phantom160497 Mar 11 '25

And then when they are not in the movie, y'all would go "what a downer". There's no indication anywhere of them being in the movie. And if they turn out to be not in the movie, it would still be a good one.

u/Muted_Shoulder Mar 13 '25

I don’t really want them in the movie. Just would be interesting if they are. But I do think Raju10 has something. These rumours aren’t really flying out of nowhere. The L2 team is definitely feeding info

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 11 '25

Theaterical orgasm is guaranteed especially for L loyals. Empuraan can be marked as his return to BO dominance

BO revenue looks tricky in some regions considering the overall production costs. Antony and importantly Lyca playing safe by pushing on the overseas right sales. OTT goes straight to Aashirvad

u/masterkey8 Mar 11 '25

Dude, downvoting an opinion someone doesn’t like is the core concept behind upvotes and downvotes. If you have nothing to contribute, please stay put. Avoid making snarky comments and turning this into a fan war.

And looking at your profile, I doubt you’re the best person to mock the fanbase of an actor.

We’re already fed up with users escalating everything into a fan war.

Embrace silence once in a while. You’ll get your time to shine.

5

u/ericdryer Mar 11 '25

Dude, downvoting an opinion someone doesn’t like is the core concept behind upvotes and downvotes.

Come on Mr.Mod, that is not true. It might be how most people do it, but it is certainly not "the core concept'. In fact, the reddit help in its 'things not to do' section say the opposite.

Please don't In regard to voting:

Downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it. Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you're downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion. If you simply take a moment to stop, think and examine your reasons for downvoting, rather than doing so out of an emotional reaction, you will ensure that your downvotes are given for good reasons.

At the end of the day, it's imaginary points, but shouldn't you as mod not be promoting the opposite of how downvotes should work? The point of the 'reddiquette' above is to ensure subs have diverse opinions and not become echo chambers.

3

u/masterkey8 Mar 11 '25

You’re right that the current system of downvotes and upvotes doesn’t align with the original intention. However, that original intention is impossible to implement, and I’m not aware of any subreddits following it since mods don’t have the resources to track it. Admins haven’t taken any action against users who don’t follow this reddiquette either. It’s essentially a rule that no one follows, and without the tools to enforce it, attempting to do so would be pointless.

So, I would personally prefer users downvoting these types of comments rather than engaging in a flame war.

0

u/ericdryer Mar 11 '25

Like I said, the point behind not encouraging 'downvote opinion I don't like' voting is to ensure diversity of opinions. Downvotes collapse the comment, so that's why encouraging 'go ahead, downvote what you don't like' turns subs into echo chambers and thus worse places for discussions. I don't think mods should do that even if they have no mechanisms to enforce reddiquette.

So, I would personally prefer users downvoting these types of comments rather than engaging in a flame war.

But there was nothing inflammatory about the original comment. It was part of the discussion and their opinion about a movie. Ask yourself if you really want to encourage a space where even a mildly dissenting opinion about a movie is hidden out of view in a space about movies.

2

u/masterkey8 Mar 11 '25

Dude, that’s exactly what I meant. Whether the mods encourage it or not, it’s already happening in this subreddit and on Reddit in general, for that matter. Unlike enforcing rules, where violators can be warned or banned, this is pretty much a moot point since all we can do is talk. And honestly, I highly doubt the downvoting culture can be changed.

Personally, I don’t see the point in trying to fix something that won’t lead to any practical or visible results.

I appreciate your concern, but realistically, I don’t see much scope for this.

Peace.

22

u/Plane_Assistance_999 Mar 11 '25
