Khalifa OTT Release:
Malayalam cinema fans have another interesting OTT update to look forward to. Khalifa: The Ruler, the upcoming action thriller starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, has reportedly found its digital home with JioHotstar.
The film is directed by Vysakh and written by Jinu V. Abraham, who also co-produced the project along with Suraj Kumar. The movie is planned as the first part of a two-part series, which makes the OTT announcement even more interesting for viewers who like big action stories with a continuation.
Prithviraj Sukumaran plays the lead role in Khalifa, and the film is expected to present him in an intense action-packed character. The story reportedly moves around crime, power, family connections and revenge, giving the movie a darker thriller flavour rather than being just a straightforward commercial action film.
One of the major attractions is the casting. Neil Nitin Mukesh is making his Malayalam debut with Khalifa, while Malvika Sharma, Shammi Thilakan and Indrans are also part of the cast. And then there is Mohanlal, who makes a cameo appearance in the film. His presence alone has added plenty of curiosity around the project.
Vysakh is known for handling large-scale commercial movies, so expectations are naturally high when he teams up with Prithviraj. Jinu V. Abraham’s script is also expected to give the film a strong crime and action backdrop.
