Well, the makers are doing everything to make sure that this feat is achieved. As per a report in The News Minute, Odiyan is getting about 3000-4000 screens worldwide making it the first Malayalam movie to have the widest release. The exhibitors might be encouraged by the fact that Pulimurugan turned out to be a Rs 100 crore grosser and Odiyan is also made on the same scale. Also, South movies are doing some really good business overseas these days, with some prime recent examples being Tamil films Sarkar, 96 and Telugu film Geeta Govindham. Odiyan will release on December 14. Mohanlal Birthday Special: 12 Movies of the Superstar from 12 Genres That You Should Watch if You are a Lalettan Fan.
