Hridayam,
the
upcoming
family
drama
will
mark
the
first
collaboration
of
multi-faceted
talent
Vineeth
Sreenivasan
and
young
actor
Pranav
Mohanlal.
The
rumours
regarding
the
OTT
release
of
Hridayam
have
been
doing
rounds
on
social
media
for
the
past
few
days.
However,
Vishak
Subramaniam,
who
is
backing
the
Vineeth
Sreenvisan
directorial
under
the
banner
Merryland
Cinemas,
has
now
refuted
the
rumours.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
leading
Malayalam
media,
producer
Vishak
rubbished
the
OTT
release
rumours
surrounding
the
project
and
confirmed
that
Hridayam
will
release
in
theatres.
According
to
the
young
producer,
the
team
is
eagerly
waiting
to
release
the
project
in
theatres,
even
though
several
OTT
platforms
had
approached
them
with
attractive
offers.
Vishak
Subramaniam
added
that
the
OTT
platforms
are
more
interested
in
films
that
have
big
names
associated
with
them.
But,
the
producer,
who
is
also
a
theatre
owner,
believes
that
it
is
his
responsibility
to
support
the
fellow
theatre
owners
and
exhibitors
during
these
hard
times.
So,
Merryland
Cinemas
is
now
going
ahead
with
the
decision
to
release
Hridayam
in
theatres.
Coming
to
Hridayam,
the
Vineeth
Sreenivasan
directorial
that
features
Pranav
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
role
has
been
put
on
hold
due
to
the
pandemic
and
lockdown.
The
team
decided
to
not
shoot
amidst
lockdown,
as
most
of
the
pending
portions
demand
outdoor
shoot.
However,
the
shoot
will
be
resumed
by
the
end
of
January
2021.
The
makers
are
planning
to
wrap
up
the
project
in
a
single
schedule
that
is
expected
to
last
for
around
35
days.
In
that
case,
the
Pranav
Mohanlal
starrer
might
get
wrapped
up
by
the
end
of
February
or
the
beginning
of
March
2021.
The
movie,
which
features
Pranav
in
a
boy-next-door
role,
features
Kalyani
Priyadarshan
and
Darshana
Rajendran
as
the
female
leads.
