Director Alphonse Puthren's "Premam" starring Nivin Pauly, Anupama Parameshwaran, Sai Pallavi and Madonna Sebastian in the lead roles has already completed 200 days of its run at Sathyam Cinemas Multiplex in Chennai.
Meanwhile, "Charlie" is being produced under the banner of Finding Cinemas by director Martin Prakkat, Joju George and Shebin Becker. Reports also suggest that "Charlie" is the first fastest Malayalam movie to cross a Rs 50 lakh margin at the Kerala box office beating the records of Prithviraj Sukumaran, Indrajith Sukumaran and Jayasurya's comical entertainer "Amar Akbar Anthony".
