Deets about Bramayugam
Directed by Rahul Sadasivan, the horror thriller also stars Sidharth Bharathan, Amalda Liz, and Arjun Ashokan in key roles. The first look of the film was unveiled on the occasion of Mammootty’s 72nd birth anniversary. Last month, the makers released the first teaser and its trailer was unveiled at an event held in Abu Dhabi.
The film was recently in the news after a court case is filed by Punjamon Illam, a Brahmin household in Kerala, for defaming the reputation of their family for being involved in evil magic. Ahead of the film’s release, the character name of Mammootty in Bramayugam was changed to Kodumon.
A plea was filed by Punjamon Illam in which he stated that his family historically engaged in ritualistic practises documented in the book ‘Aithihymala’.
The plea was closed by Kerala High Court after the filmmaker’s submission that Mammootty’s character name have been changed to address the petitioner’s concerns. The makers have also submitted that they have applied to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to change the name of the lead character.
