The biggest film of the recent times in Mollywood, 'Pazhassi Raja’ presented by Mammootty-M T Vasudevan Nair - Hariharan team, suffers from back to back bad luck. The shooting for the film has to be called off the fifth time, this time due to untimely heavy rains that hit the state. The whole crew including Mammootty and Kanika were shooting in the Mysore forests when heavy rains came as the villain destructing the costly shooting sets that were erected for the movie.

The movie which is budgeted at around eight crores was earlier planned to grace the theatres for this Vishu. But due to plenty of reasons and the clashes in the shoot dates of the artists, the film has to change its shooting schedules many times. Last year too, the shoot for the movie was cancelled due to heavy rains.

In the beginning of this month, two of the crew members met with an accidental death, while a lorry bringing the horses for shooting purposes turned upside down.

The constant delays in shooting have resulted in date problems of the artists associated with the movie. As per the present schedules, 'Pazhassi Raja' will find it difficult to grace the theatres, even for this Onam.
