The
Malayalam
film
industry
is
finally
all
set
to
have
the
first-ever
direct
OTT
release
its
history,
very
soon.
Sufiyum
Sujathayum,
the
upcoming
Jayasurya-Aditi
Rao
Hydari
starrer
is
all
set
to
emerge
as
the
first
Malayalam
film
to
have
a
direct
OTT
release.
Recently,
the
team
members
announced
that
Sufiyum
Sujathayum
will
release
on
Amazon
Prime
directly,
through
his
official
social
media
pages.
The
cast
and
crew
members
also
revealed
the
first-look
poster
of
the
project,
which
is
directed
by
newcomer
Naranikulam
Shanavas.
The
interesting
first
look
poster,
that
features
lead
actors
Jayasurya
and
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
hint
that
Sufiyum
Sujathayum
is
a
poetic
love
story.
The
Amazon
Prime
release
date
of
the
project
is
expected
to
be
revealed
very
soon.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Sufiyum
Sujathayum
is
a
unique
love
story,
that
revolves
around
a
couple
named
Rajeev
and
Sujatha,
who
flies
to
Dubai
to
attend
the
last
rites
of
Sujatha's
ex-lover,
a
Sufi
priest.
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
essays
the
central
character
Sujatha
in
the
movie,
which
features
Jayasurya
in
the
role
of
her
husband
Rajeev.
The
movie
marks
the
second
outing
for
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
in
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
The
actress
had
made
her
Malayalam
debut
in
2006
with
the
Mammootty
starrer
Prajapathi.
However,
she
did
not
receive
many
offers
from
the
industry
after
Prajapathi
ended
up
as
a
critical
and
commercial
failure,
and
thus
shifted
her
focus
back
to
Bollywood.
Sufiyum
Sujathayum
is
bankrolled
by
the
popular
actor-producer
Vijay
Babu,
under
his
home
banner
Friday
Film
House.
Recently,
the
producer
had
revealed
his
decision
behind
going
for
an
OTT
release,
saying
that
survival
is
important
now.
Vijay
Babu
is
also
confident
that
so
many
makers
will
follow
them
by
deciding
to
release
their
films
on
OTT
platforms.
