the

had
to
drop
the
plan
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown.
Penned
and
directed
by
Mahesh
Narayanan,
the
film

Fahadh's
fourth
venture
to
release
on
an
OTT
platform
after

Revolving
around
the
journey
of
Sulaiman
Malik
(essayed
by
Fahad
Faasil)
a
leader,
who
spearheads
a
revolution
against
the
authoritative
forces
who
encroach
the
lives
of
his
people,
the
film
covers
subjects
including
crime
and
inequity.
Sharing
his
thought
about
Malik's
digital
release
to
the
media,
director
Mahesh
Narayanan
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Releasing
Malik
on
a
popular
streaming
service
like
Amazon
Prime
Video
is
a
huge
opportunity
to
showcase
our
work
to
a
global
audience.
Malik
is
a
story
rooted
in
the
Indian
ethos
with
multiple
nuances
in
its
character
as
well
as
the
emotions
they
portray,
and
I
hope
it
resonates
with
the
expectations
of
the
audience."
Malik's
technical
team
includes
music
composer
Sushin
Shyam,
cinematographer
Sanu
Varghese
and
editor
Mahesh
Narayanan.
Made
on
a
budget
of
Rs
27
crore,
the
film
went
on
floors
on
September
3,
2019.
