Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, a highly regarded movie starring Mammootty, is going to be released on OTT. The OTT rights to the movie, 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. 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.
