Online negative reviews of newly released films and such audience reactions have been a hot topic of discussion in the film industry in recent times. These discussions are on two levels: freedom of expression and the impact of negative reviews on the film industry. Meanwhile, there was a campaign on social media saying that since this week, film organisations have been banned from coming to the theatres and asking the opinion of the audience, including online channels. This is the week when Mammootty and Mohanlal's films hit theatres. But director B. Unnikrishnan says that this campaign is fake and an attempt to destroy Christopher, which he is directing. The fake news spread on social media contained Unnikrishnan's picture.
"None of the industry bodies like the Theater Owners Association or FEFKE have made such an announcement. This kind of news is being spread with only two days left for the release of Christopher. This is just fabricated news by someone with the aim of ruining the film." B. Unnikrishnan told that the motive of those behind the campaign was to "help" them.
Mammootty will play the role of a policeman in the film directed by B. Unnikrishnan and scripted by Udayakrishna. The tag line of the film, which belongs to the thriller category, is "Biography of a Vigilante Cop." Apart from Amala Paul, the film has three heroines, namely Sneha and Aishwarya Rai. South Indian actor Vinay Rai also plays an important role in the film. Along with Dileesh Pothan, Siddique, Jinu Abraham, Vineetakoshi, Vasanthi, etc., thirty-five new faces are also playing roles in the film.
