"It is of no truth in saying that the entry of corporates into film making is not good for the film industry. I could do a film like ‘Kutty Sharanku’ only because of the funding and the faith that Reliance Big Pictures had on me”, says Shaji N Karun, the world renowned film maker. He was talking on the audio release function of ‘Kutty Sharanku’, his movie with Megastar Mammootty which got into theatres today. 'Kutty Sharanku' is the first production venture of Reliance Big Picture in Malayalam.

Planned as a grand function by Manorama Music at Joyce Place, Thrissur, the audio release of the movie was done by Mammootty giving the first copy to Father Joseph Valiyaveettil. The audio album will also feature a song sung by Mammootty for the film, under the directions of its music director Issac Thomas Kottukapally.

Meanwhile, Reliance has also managed to get a very good release for the movie at 38 centres in the state. When considered it as an art house movie, this is a quite a big number as the movies in the genre usually opens in less than 15-20 centres in the state.
