Mammooty says audiences have the power to produce the change in filmmaking

Mammootty is currently promoting Turbo, his forthcoming movie, which is slated to premiere in theaters worldwide on May 23. The celebrated Megastar of Malayalam, together with the scriptwriter Midhun Manuel Thomas and other members of the action-drama’s cast, is presently in Qatar to discuss the film. Furthermore, during a press conference held, the actor candidly expressed his views on the failures of films in different industries.

The actor emphasized that the audience holds responsibility for the transformations occurring in the film industry. When questioned about whether the progress of Malayalam cinema can be credited to the changing mindset of viewers, he stated that exceptional content will undeniably garner favorable responses from the audience. He further asserted that when audiences are open to embracing new perspectives and abandoning restrictive notions, it paves the way for the emergence of high-quality filmmaking. The veteran star emphasized that the attendance and positive reactions of the Malayali audience in theatres are the key factors contributing to the success of movies in this region. He pointed out that films from other industries are struggling to make an impact in theatres due to the lack of understanding of their audience’s preferences by the filmmakers. Social media users have well-received the actor’s statement about the public influencing changes in the film industry. One user highlighted that Fahadh Faasil, a young star, had also mentioned in a recent interview that Malayalam filmmakers would be free to release any film in the next five years. Additionally, some have pointed to the box office successes of Manjummel Boys, Bramayugam, and Aadujeevitham as evidence that high-quality films never fail to make a lasting impression on viewers.

Turbo, helmed by Vysakh, is not just gearing up but is on the verge of a major theatrical debut this week. The movie has sparked significant anticipation among audiences, including you, due to its captivating trailer, which was revealed a few days back. Recent updates reveal that Turbo is witnessing remarkably high levels of advance bookings, with pre-sales exceeding the Rs. 2 crore mark. This is a clear testament to your excitement and eagerness to watch this much-anticipated movie.
