2008 opens with 'Of The People'

For quite some years, it has become a notion in Mollywood that the first film that will get into theatres on a new year, will fail to bring in audiences. This has been the fate of many films that were the first to get released, every year in the past. But Jayaraj, the producer -director of the new flick ‘Of The People' don't believe in this theory and is preparing to offer this new film as the first one of 2008. The film is all set to get released in forty odd centres, this week end. Featuring a group of young artists, the movie is a sequel to super hit 'Four The People' released five years back. Jayaraj himself has been the victim of this kind of early releases in 2000, in which he released his big budget film 'Millennium Stars'. The film did not do well in the box office, but also bought its producer Kireedom Unni into dire streets. After this big loss, Kireedom Unni who had been the producer of many neo classics in Mollywood had only been able to associate with a couple of small time productions in these eight years. Anyway, Jayaraj seems to care less for these filmi beliefs and is going ahead with surety to fetch a winner, on the very first go.
