The mega-budget entertainer which released on October 7, 2016, opened to a stupendous response from the audience. The action sequences choreographed by Peter Hein and Mohanlal's remarkable performances even at the age of 57 are said to be the highlights of the movie that was bankrolled by Tomichan Mulakuppadam. The 3D version is also expected to get positive response from the ardent fans of the superstar.
Pulimurugan 3D was scheduled to hit the screens in Kerala on Friday, July 21, however, the latest update on the Facebook page of the movie suggests that the release has been postponed to Saturday due to technical issues.
Meanwhile, in April 2017, the Vysakh directorial had also made Guinness World Record under the category of 'largest attendance at a 3D film screening' toppling the previous record of Hollywood movie Men in Black 3. The screening that happened at ADLUX Convention Centre in Angamaly, Kerala on April 12 was attended by a record-breaking 12,526 people, while the sci-fi sequel had only 6,819 viewers at Berlin's O2 World.
The advance booking for the action thriller is open on BookMyShow website for a few theatres in Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
