The Malayalam version of the action drama ‘Pushpa’ starring Allu Arjun has been released. Due to technical reasons, the Tamil version of the film was released in theaters in Kerala on Friday. E4 Entertainment, a distributor in Kerala, apologized to the audience. Sound designer Rasool Pookutty had said that the Malayalam version was delayed due to audio issues. It is learned that the censorship of the copy prepared after resolving the issue was delayed and the Malayalam version was delayed by one day. Rafi Mathira of IFF International, the distributor of Allu’s previous films in Kerala, says:
Rafi Mathira on the delay in the Malayalam version of Pushpa
Pushpa Malayalam Edition in all centers from today! The Malayalam version of Allu’s adopted son Pushpa’s, which was released yesterday, was not screened yesterday. The reason was that the sensor was not received. Any film that has been censored in Telugu will have to be censored in any language, but the original version will have to be censored on the spot. It is very difficult to complete the steps required for the sensor in a short period of time. I would like to take this opportunity to recall the difficulties I faced for censorship of Allu’s 2013 film Romeo and Juliet, which I brought to Kerala, to be screened in Malayalam along with its Telugu release. Although I had crossed many barriers, I was able to release the Malayalam version along with the Telugu release.
Even though the Tamil version of the show was screened in Kerala yesterday due to lack of censorship, the distributors are appreciative of the fact that Allu has fulfilled the desire of the fans. Satheesh Muthukulam’s script, Siju Thuravoor’s songs, Jis Joy’s voice, Fahad Fazil’s villainous character and Allu’s fiery performance will no doubt be enjoyable for the fans. Pirated copies of the film are being circulated in Telugu and Tamil. Allu fans should not encourage it. The Malayalam version will hit theaters today. I wish Pushpa a great success.
