Kuberan, Veyil and Kaval will be held back for theatre release

Goodwill Entertainment, which has three films in various stages of completion, has conveyed its opinion on debate raging about theatre vs OTT releases of films. Mammootty-starrer Kuberan, directed by Ajai Vasudev, has received its U censor certificate. The shoot is complete for Veyil, starring Shane Nigam and helmed by Sharath Menon, while big-budget Suresh Gopi-movie Kaval has 10 days of shoot left. The production company has said they will hold the three films until theatres reopen, rather than opt for a digital release. “Producers are struggling, theatres are struggling, distributors are struggling, crew members and actors are struggling,” Goodwill Entertainment said in a note on social media, adding that, the company is “not facing problems at this stage”. “If the situation becomes worse and more problems arise, we may have to re-think on our decision.”
