Asif Ali's 'Rekhachithram' is the only profitable venture in January 2025 as Mollywood faces crisis
All film activities in Kerala are set to halt indefinitely from June 1 as industry bodies, led by the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce, protest high taxation and escalating actor fees. Producers face a financial crunch with 60 percent of budgets allocated to actors' salaries. Despite losses surpassing Rs 100 crore in January, government assistance has been lacking. A memorandum will be presented to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan seeking intervention. 'Rekhachithram' remains one of the few successful releases amidst the ongoing crisis.
