Kochi

Even as the judicial custody of arrested superstar Dileep was extended on
Thursday till October 12, his latest film "Ram Leela" was also released and saw
fans arriving to watch it at nearly 130 theatres across the state.
Earlier, the release of "Ram Leela", produced at a cost of over Rs 20 crore, was
scheduled for July.
But following the unexpected arrest of Dileep in the
actress abduction case on July 10, the producer and his well wishers decided to
defer the release.
With four bail applications of the actor being turned
down and the fifth one's verdict to come next week, it was decided to go ahead
and release the film.
On Thursday, Dileep's remand period was extended by
the trial court near here, through a video conference with the sub-jail near
here where the actor has been kept since his arrest.
"Ram Leela" is
Dileep's first film to be released since his arrest. Across the state, the
audience comprised his fans, with his traditional audience - families and women
- keeping away for obvious reasons.
In Kerala, all the leading stars in
the Malayalam film industry have their own fans association, which ensures that
irrespective of what happens, the opening day of the film is a sell out.
