Something is troubling hero Mohanlal of late. The success of Mammootty’s film ‘Rajamanickam’ has made him uneasy. Mammootty is beginning to draw his fans unto himself. The youth audience that assures good opening for Mohanlal is now starting to shift its base.

Mammootty’s film ‘Rajamanickam’ did much better than Mohanlal’s ‘Naran’. The former fetched Rs.3.34 crores in three weeks whereas that of the latter is only Rs.2.70 crores. More importantly, the popularity of ‘Rajamanickam’ has penetrated to Mohanlal’s base like Tiruvananthapuram, Attingal, Kollam, Kottayam and Ernakulam.

‘Rajamanickam’ has an advantage over ‘Naran’, as it is short and could be screened up to 6 shows. People in Malabar region flocked to watch it on Ramzan. In fact, it did better than ‘Naran’ even in Mohanlal bases. This is indeed a real threat to the superstar.

Meanwhile, Mohanlal’s next releases are of soft characters with no punch lines. He plays the role of a government employee with Alzheimer’s disease in director Blessy’s offbeat film ‘Tanmatra’. It is slated for Christmas release. He also plays the role of a college lecturer in his much delayed film ‘Vadukkumnathan’.

Mohanlal is facing a dangerous threat that can’t be ignored. He should take proper steps to defend his kingdom, or else, it will fall into someone’s hands.
