Nivin and Pranav’s movies to clash at the box office

Nivin Pauly has been on a roll lately with his latest movie Kayamkulam Kochunni heading for the Rs 100 Cr mark. While many have also attributed a part of the movie’s success to Mohanlal fans with the superstar doing a cameo, the true test could be in store in the 2019 Republic Day weekend.
January 26 would see not only Nivin Pauly’s Mikhael releasing but also Pranav Mohanlal’s Irupathiyonnam Noottandu hitting the theatres.Pranav’s previous film Aadhi was a superhit and the expectations for the upcoming movie, directed by Arun Gopy, have only skyrocketed.
Nivin, meanwhile, would be confident as Mikhael’s director Haneef Adeni has been part of two superhits as well – The Great Father and Abrahaminte Santhathikal.
