Corona Dhavan and Jaladhara Pump Set

The makers of the upcoming Malayalam film Corona Dhavan released its promo video where the characters can be seen getting too desperate to grab liquor bottles.

The title of the movie was changed from Corona Javan to Corona Dhavan after the Censor Board asked to change the title.

The trailer of this comedy entertainer depicts the hardships faced by Malayalees during the lockdown. It is also packed with romantic scenes between the lead pair — Lukman Avaran and Sruthy Jayan.
