Malayalam family drama Ashakal Aayiram, which had a decent but not great run in theaters, will soon be available to stream online. The movie was directed by G. Prajith, and it was the first time that real-life father and son Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram worked together on screen.
Details about the OTT platform and release
According to reports, ZEE5 has bought the film's streaming rights for a huge sum. The movie is expected to start streaming on the platform in the next few days, even though an official release date has not yet been set.
It is said that the movie will be available in several languages, including the original Malayalam version, Tamil, and Telugu. This will help it reach more people in South India.
Plot
Ashakal Aayiram is about Ajeesh, a young social media star who wants to be a movie star, but his father, Hariharan, doesn't like it. Their relationship starts to change when a big movie shoot with a superstar happens in their area. This makes both of them face their goals and differences.
Jayaram plays the strict and practical father, and Kalidas Jayaram plays the ambitious son. Their real-life relationship adds emotional depth to the story.
The movie boasts of a strong supporting cast that includes Asha Sharath, Sharaf U Dheen, Ishaani Krishna, Ramesh Pisharody, and others.
Jude Anthany Joseph and Aravind Rajendran wrote the screenplay together. Sree Gokulam Movies is making the movie and Sanal Dev is writing the music for it.
