Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, a highly regarded movie starring Mammootty, is going to be released on OTT. Netflix South in an earlier tweet had revealed the release date of the movie. According to the tweet of the streaming giant, the movie was to be released online on February 23, 2023. Now, it has been informed that the movie is now streaming on the digital giant’s platform. The OTT rights to the film, which Megastar produced under the name Mammootty Kampany, were apparently purchased by Disney+ Hotstar, which had acquired the rights to his two prior blockbuster hits, Bheeshma Parvam and Rorschach. But now, Netflix has announced that the movie will be arriving on its platform on the mentioned date. Many viewers who saw the movie in Keralan theatres but without subtitles will also profit from the OTT debut. According to Mammootty, “To a Malayalam audience it will look like a Tamil film and vice versa.” The movie features dialogue in both Tamil and Malayalam. For those who are not fluent in other languages, subtitles will make the movie easier to understand.
Angry or dramatic – Mammootty can do it all! 👀
