Since 'Janatha Garage' stars Mohanlal in a key role, its release in Malayalam in a big way was always a foregone conclusion. But nobody thought that the makers will release the movie a day earlier than its Telugu counterpart's release.

We learn that, in Kerala and other areas, the Malayalam version will hit the marquee on Sept 1 itself.

This is expected to bode good news for the film. The technically superior flick, in which Mohanlal is supposedly playing an impactful role, is most likely to get a hit talk in Malayalam. This will only boost the first day collections of the Telugu version the following day.

Mohanlal is seen in the role of a star crusader in this Koratala Shiva directorial. He prods NTR to shift base to an 'adda' called Janatha Garage where a group of seven vigilantes resort to violence in their mission to keep mining mafia at bay.
