The Mammootty-Lijo Jose Pellissery Project To Get An OTT Release?

Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam,
the
highly
anticipated
social
drama
that
features
Mammootty
in
the
lead
role,
is
nearing
the
final
stage
of
its
production.
The
project
marks
Mammootty’s
first
collaboration
with
the
acclaimed
filmmaker,
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery.
As
per
the
latest
reports,

Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam
is
all
set
to
get
a
direct
OTT
release.

If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
Mammootty-starrer
was
always
planned
as
a
direct
OTT
release,
and
is
not
made
for
the
big
screens.
The
rumour
mills
suggest
that

Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam
will
get
a
direct
OTT
release
on
the
popular
platform
Sony
LIV,
during
the
upcoming
Onam
season.
In
that
case,
this
will
be
Mammootty’s
second
direct
OTT
release,
after
the
highly
acclaimed

Puzhu.

However,
the
makers
of

Nanpakal
Nerathu
Maykkam
have
not
reacted
to
these
reports
so
far.
Grapevine
suggests
that
the
makers
are
planning
to
make
an
official
announcement
on
the
release
of
the
Mammootty-starrer,
once
the
post-production
works
are
finished.
In
that
case,
a
major
update
on
the
same
will
be
out
in
a
couple
of
days.

Mammootty
was
seen
in
a
unique
get-up
with
a
curly
hairdo,
which
is
paired
with
a
shirt
and
dhoti.
From
the

Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkam
teasers,
it
is
evident
that
the
Megastar
is
once
again
playing
the
role
of
a
commoner
from
a
small
town
in
the
film.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Mammootty’s
character
is
Nakulan
AKA
Velan,
who
works
as
a
cycle
mechanic
and
garbage
man
in
the
daytime
and
a
local
thief
at
the
night.

As
reported
earlier,
the
megastar
is
making
a
comeback
to
film
production
with

Nanpakal
Nerathu
Mayakkan
after
a
long
gap.
The
project
is
jointly
bankrolled
by
Mammootty
Company
and
director
Lijo
Jose
Pellissery’s
home
banner
Amen
Movie
Monastery.
Tamil
actress
Ramya
Pandian
and
senior
actor
Ashokan
are
playing
key
roles
in
the
movie.
