Rumours are rife that the team might have postponed its release date as actor Dileep, who appears as Ramanunni in Ramaleela, has been mired in controversies in connection with the kidnap case of a south Indian actress.
Ramaleela is the production venture of Tomichan Mulakupadam, who is known for bankrolling blockbuster Mohanlal-starrer Pulimurugan that became the first Malayalam movie to enter the Rs 150 crore club.
