'Twenty Twenty' released on Nov. 5

The much-awaited Malayalam film 'Twenty Twenty', starring 67 top actors, including Mammootty, Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Jayaram and Dileep, is expected to hit the theatres in Kerala on November 5.

The film, made by Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) to raise funds for its various charitable works, is said to be the biggest multi-starrer ever to be made in India. Besides the five top names in the Malayalam film industry, south India's top film diva Nayantara is also playing a role in the film, produced by actor Dileep and directed by Joshi.

The collection from the film will be used by AMMA for its various welfare activites. The association is presently paying about Rs 2,500 per month to 60 indigent artistes of yesteryears. Industry sources said getting so many actors and top heroes was a herculean task. All the actors had worked without charging any remuneration, but still due to the long shooting schedule of 70 days, the film has become very expensive, they said.

Mohan Lal and Prithviraj fans associations are reportedly unhappy over "not much importance" being given to their respective stars in the cinema posters. But efforts are on to sort out the issue. The fans association have even threatened to boycott the film. The satellite rights of the film have not yet been given, according to the sources.
