Malayalam television channels are in no mood to lose a big film because of price. Films starring the super stars like Mammootty and Mohanlal fetch a huge price considering the size of the territories.

The highest price paid for the television rights of a movie so far was 2.86 crores. That was for Mohanlal starrer T20 paid by Surya TV. Now another Mohanlal film has broken that record and set a new record.

Asianet has bought the television rights of ‘Christian Brothers’ for a whopping 3 crores and this has set a new bench mark in Malayalam satellite television.

It is interesting to note here that both the record breaking films are Mohanlal films directed by Joshy.
