Mammootty's much-awaited film 'Bramayugam' is all set to hit theaters on February 15. However, the film landed in trouble after Kunjaman Illam moved the Kerala High Court, demanding to stop the release of the film. At the same time, the makers of the movie responded to the petition and stated that they were ready to change the name of the character as Kodumon Potti instead of Kunjaman Potti. The makers have also informed that an application was made in this regard. The action comes after Kunchaman Illam of Kottayam district filed a petition over the name Kunchaman Potti.
