Mammootty’s Bramayugam lands in trouble 2 days ahead of release; titular character's name to be changed
With just two days left for the release of Mammootty starrer Bramayugam, the film has landed in trouble over the usage of the name Kunjamon Potti. Read on to find out why!
It has become increasingly hard these days to make a film without offending some section of the audience. The most recent film to fall prey to this is Mammootty’s Bramayugam. With less than two days to go before its grand theatrical release, the makers have been forced to rename Mammootty’s character in the film.
According to reports, a court petition was filed by Punjamon Illam, claiming that Mammootty’s character Bramayugam is named Punjamon or Kunjamon Potti, and is shown to be practicing the evil art of dark magic. The family has approached the Kerala High Court, requesting the removal of the name as their family name is at stake.
The petition claimed that nobody from the film’s team approached the family to talk about the subject matter in the film. Further, the Punjamon Illam family stated that such an attempt has been deliberately made to defame the family in society.
Listening to the court’s order, the makers of Bramayugam have changed Mammootty’s character’s name from Kunjamon Potti to Kodumon Potti.
