Palery Manikyam postponed by a week
Super star Mammootty's eagerly awaited period crime thriller Palery Manikyam, which was supposed to grace screens during Bakrid (November 27), has been postponed by a week to December 3 due to “unavoidable circumstances”.
Produced by A.V. Anoop and Subair under the banner of AVA Productions and Varnachithra Big Screen, Palery Manikyam is based on T.P. Rajeevan's famous novel 'Palery Maanikyam - Oru Paathira Kolapathakathinte Katha', serialized in Mathrubhumi (weekly) in the early 60's.
The story is based on the infamous Manikyam murder that took place 51 years back (1958) at Paleri near Kozhikode. Mammootty plays a dual role: as the CBI officer who re-investigates the case in 2009 and a feudal Muslim landlord who lived in the 50's and was involved in the crime.
