In Mollywood, it is instrumental that when one superstar comes up with a release, the other also follow suit with another on the same weekend. Every filmi season in Kerala usually witness the clashes between Mammootty and Mohanlal films, which had been continuing for two decades. And this Christmas is also not much different. The Mammootty movie to grace the theatres will be ‘Chattambinaadu’ directed by Shafi, which will take on Mohanlal's ‘Ivide Swargam Aanu’ .While the former will get to theatres on Christmas eve, the Lal film will make a release on the Christmas day.

The other speciality of these two films are that they are produced by the star loyalists and will be distributed by the superstar's own production houses like “Playhouse” and “Max Lab” entertainments. The other two movies that were earlier planning to set a fight with the superstar biggies were ‘Happy Husbands’ and ‘Bodyguard’, which stands shifted to further dates, as per the latest informations.
