Twenty:20 is a 2008 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller film written by Udayakrishna-Siby K. Thomas, directed by Joshiy, produced and distributed by Dileep through Graand Production and Manjunatha Release. The film stars Mohanlal, Mammootty, Suresh Gopi, Jayaram and Dileep. The film was produced on behalf of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA) as a fundraiser to financially support actors who are struggling in the Malayalam cinema.[2] All the actors in AMMA worked without payment in order to raise funds for their welfare schemes.[3]
The film features an ensemble cast, which includes almost all major artists in Malayalam cinema.[4] The music was composed by Berny-Ignatius and Suresh Peters while C. Rajamani provided background score. The first two-week distributors share of the film stood at ₹5.72 crore (US$690,000).[5] The film managed to secure third position (with 7 prints, 4 in Chennai) in Tamil Nadu's box office in its opening week.[6] The total number of opening prints releasing inside Kerala was 117; outside Kerala, approximately 25 prints were released on 21 November 2014, including 4 prints in the US and 11 prints in the UAE.[5]
