Mohanlal
is
unarguably
the
biggest
star
Malayalam
cinema
has
ever
had.
Interestingly
the
superstar
has
once
again
shown
his
immense
star
power,
by
setting
a
new
record
with
the
satellite
rights
of
his
films.
Reportedly,
Mohanlal
films
own
the
top
4
positions,
in
the
list
of
highest
satellite
rights
prices
for
Malayalam
films.
According
to
the
latest
updates,
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham,
the
upcoming
historical
drama,
has
earned
the
all-time
highest
satellite
rights
rate
for
a
Malayalam
film
so
far.
The
movie,
which
won
3
National
film
awards
including
the
award
for
India's
Best
Feature
Film,
will
have
Mohanlal
in
the
titular
role
Kunjali
Marakkar
IV.
Lucifer,
the
2019-released
action
drama
that
marked
the
directorial
debut
of
actor
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
is
in
the
second
position.
The
blockbuster
movie
featured
Mohanlal
in
the
role
of
Stephen
Nedumpilly,
a
politician
who
also
has
a
different
identity
named
Khureshi
Ab'Ram.
The
Prithviraj
directorial
had
set
a
record
with
its
satellite
rights
at
the
time
of
its
release.
But
now,
it
is
broken
by
Marakkar.
Drishyam
2,
the
OTT
blockbuster
that
earned
immensely
positive
reviews
from
both
the
audiences
and
critics,
is
in
the
third
position.
According
to
the
reports,
the
Jeethu
Joseph
directorial
failed
to
overtake
Marakkar
Arabikadalinte
Simham
and
Lucifer,
mainly
due
to
its
release
in
Amazon
Prime
Video.
Pulimurugan,
the
first
100-Crore
film
of
the
Malayalam
film
industry,
is
in
the
fourth
position
when
it
comes
to
the
Top
films
to
receive
the
highest
satellite
rights
rate.
The
action
thriller
that
featured
Mohanlal
in
the
titular
role
is
still
a
hot
favourite
for
Malayalam
cinema
audiences.
The
satellite
rights
of
all
these
films
are
purchased
by
the
popular
channel
Asianet.
Reportedly,
satellite
rights
of
the
upcoming
Mohanlal
film
Aaraattu
are
yet
to
be
sold.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
true,
some
of
the
leading
Malayalam
film
industry
has
already
approached
the
makers
for
the
same.
However,
the
team
has
not
made
a
final
decision
yet.
