Christmas has always been a cherry pick for Mollywood buffs for there will be a long queue of big releases and this year isn’t going to be an exception. It has been confirmed that Mammootty’s Shylock, Jayasurya’s Thrissur Pooram, Prithviraj’s Driving License and Salman Khan’s Dabangg 3 will be the major releases. Although, the makers of Mammootty’s period film ‘Mamangam’ are eyeing for the release on same occasion, they want to show up only with major number of screens or else will hold back.

Shylock will be a family entertainer featuring Mammootty as a money lender. The film is written by newcomers Aneesh Hameed and Bibin Mohan with Ajai Vasudev wielding the megaphone.

Thrissur Pooram marks the first ever attempt of Jayasurya as mass action hero. The film is directed by Rajesh Mohanan with Ampady K with Ratheesh Vega handling story and screenplay.

Driving License produced by Prithviraj’s home banner Prithviraj Productions in association with Magic Frames has already generated good buzz. Helmed by Lal Junior, the film will be an out and out entertainer featuring Suraj Venjaramoodu as another lead role alongside Prithviraj, where the latter plays a superstar crazy about cars.

Salman Khan’s Dabangg 3 has struck it chords of bigger expectations in all the regions.
