August 7, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Malayalam movie Makeup Man has been postponed, which was earlier scheduled to release during Ramzan on September 10.
The main reason behind this delay is unavailability of the lead actor Prithviraj. The date problem of the actor has kept the remaining production work incomplete. Director Shafi wanted to shoot some vital scenes of the film with two lead actors Jayaram and Prithviraj. But, the date conflicts of the actors are delaying the shooting and thus the release of the film.
The distributors Lal Creations will now release Lal Jose directed Elsamma Enna Aankutty during Ramzan instead of Makeup Man. The Lal Jose’s film has wrapped up shooting and is under production now. So, they have preponed the release to September 10 from the earlier date of October 15. The delay of Makeup Man has benefitted Elsamma Enna Aankutty and it is ready to utilize the opportunity.
