Santhosh T. Kuruvilla

Producer Santhosh T. Kuruvilla revealed that superstar Mohanlal personally absorbs financial losses from his films, a rare practice in the industry. This commitment to craft over commercial returns was shared by Mohanlal himself during the 'Neerali' shoot. His financial discipline reportedly improved after Antony Perumbavoor's involvement.

Superstar Mohanlal, a powerhouse in Indian cinema for over four decades, is reportedly worth USD 50 million. His earnings stem from substantial film fees, overseas rights, and successful business ventures including a spice brand. Mohanlal also demonstrates financial discipline, often absorbing losses for smaller films, and owns a film studio and theatres.

Producer Badusha revealed Dileep's 'Voice of Sathyanathan' incurred significant losses, attributing it to the actor's subdued recent film performance impacting pre-release hype. Meanwhile, Mohanlal reportedly absorbs financial shortfalls from his remuneration, a practice producer Santhosh T. Kuruvilla highlighted, contrasting it with industry norms.

Shane Nigam reveals his 25th film, an action thriller centered around kabaddi players. The Malayalam-Tamil bilingual movie will feature actors from both languages. Stay tuned for more updates on this upcoming project.

The story, penned by Ravishankar, explores societal themes playfully in the Palakkad dialect. Having garnered acclaim at film festivals, this production promises a fresh cinematic experience.
