Dispute Over Revenue Sharing Puts Release of Mammootty-Mohanlal Film Patriot in Question

The release of the Malayalam film Patriot, starring Mammootty and Mohanlal and scheduled for April 23, faces uncertainty due to a dispute over revenue sharing between producers and exhibitors. The Film Exhibitors United Organisation of Kerala (FEUOK) opposes the producer Anto Joseph's demand for a 60:40 revenue split in the first two weeks, differing from the existing formula of 60:40 in the first week and 55:45 in the second. FEUOK cites financial concerns, while the producer emphasizes the film's high budget and expects resolution through further discussions.
