No Onam release for Mammootty?

Mammootty is in a fix. If Nasarani does not make it for Onam, it will be first time in 11 years that Mammooka will not have an Onam release!
Mammootty and his legion of fans want Nasarani as an Onam release, so that he can give Mohanlal and his Ali Bhai a run for their money. So the shoot of the film is going round the clock in Kochi, director Joshy is using two units for the shoot.
Nasarani is a big- budget multi starrer with Mammootty, Vimala, Mukta and Kalabhavan Mani. Mammootty has postponed the shoot of his Tamil film with Sneha, so that he will have an Onam release.
Now the latest we hear is that the distributors of Nasarani, Marikkar films are not too keen to release it for Onam! Marikkar is also the distributor of Mohanlal's Hello which is a super hit.
So main stations in Kerala like Ernakulam Kavitha and Thiruvananthapuram Sreekumar are refusing to stop screening Hello, which will continue even after Onam for the sake of Nasarani.
Marikkar films also feel that Nasarani, will do better if it releases for Ramzan (October 13). Added to that they are saying that the earliest that it can release is August 27 (Thiru Onam day), and can run only for a few days, as Noyambu period starts in mid September!
So the big question is will Nasarani make it for Onam?
