Mohanlal's
highly
anticipated
historical
drama
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
and
other
4
upcoming
projects
will
get
OTT
releases.
The
update
was
announced
by
the
complete
actor's
close
associate
and
producer
of
his
upcoming
projects,
Antony
Perumbavoor.
The
producer's
revelation
has
left
the
Mohanlal
fans
and
cine-goers,
who
were
eagerly
waiting
to
watch
Marakkar
and
other
projects
in
theatres.
According
to
Antony
Perumbavoor,
the
makers
decided
to
opt
for
an
OTT
release
for
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
as
the
provided
screens
were
very
fewer
in
number
than
expected.
The
producer
also
revealed
that
he
has
only
received
was
just
Rs.
4.89
Crore,
not
Rs.
40
Crore
as
reported
earlier.
Bro
Daddy,
12th
Man,
Alone,
and
the
untitled
Vysakh
directorial
are
the
other
4
films
that
will
get
OTT
releases.
However,
5
back-to-back
films
of
Mohanlal,
who
has
been
considered
as
the
biggest
brand
of
Malayalam
cinema
getting
OTT
releases
is
something
which
was
least
expected.
Both
the
superstar
and
producer
Antony
are
now
receiving
flak
on
social
media
for
only
prioritising
the
profit
and
completely
ignoring
the
perspectives
of
the
filmmakers,
theatre
owners,
and
viewers.
As
per
the
reports,
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
which
is
directed
by
the
veteran
filmmaker
Priyadarshan,
will
get
a
direct
OTT
release
on
the
popular
platform
Amazon
Prime
Video.
Some
unconfirmed
reports
suggest
that
Bro
Daddy,
which
is
helmed
by
actor-filmmaker
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
might
release
on
Disney
Plus
Hotstar.
12th
Man
and
Alone,
on
the
other
hand,
are
said
to
be
exclusively
made
for
Amazon
Prime
Video.
The
Vysakh
directorial,
on
the
other
hand,
is
yet
to
get
its
streaming
platform.
Mohanlal,
the
leading
man
has
not
reacted
to
the
controversies
surrounding
the
theatre-OTT
face-off,
so
far.
The
complete
actor
is
expected
to
open
up
about
his
films
getting
back-to-back
OTT
releases,
with
an
official
statement
very
soon.
Meanwhile,
Mohanlal's
other
ambitious
project,
Aaraattu,
is
gearing
up
for
a
grand
theatrical
release
in
January
2022.
