The
highly
talked
about
Mammootty-starrer
The
Priest,
has
finally
seen
the
light
of
the
day.
Also
starring
Manju
Warrier
in
the
lead
role,
the
murder
mystery
film
has
released
today
(March
11)
after
much
delay.
Notably,
the
film
released
after
several
postponements
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown.
The
Priest
was
initially
scheduled
to
release
in
August
2020.
The
team
yet
again
delayed
the
release
from
March
2,
2021,
until
the
government
gave
its
green
signal
for
night
shows
in
the
state.
Interestingly,
The
Priest
has
become
Mollywood's
first
big
film
(of
a
superstar)
to
release
in
theatres.
Well,
with
its
massive
release,
the
film
has
been
garnering
huge
appreciation
from
critics
and
audiences
alike.
The
Mammootty-starrer
has
undoubtedly
proved
that
the
film's
release
was
worth
the
wait.
The
Superstar's
never-seen-before
avatar
has
also
become
the
talk
of
the
town.
Though
Mammukka's
role
intrigued
many
upon
the
teaser
release
of
the
film,
his
characterization
and
the
way
he
portrayed
Father
Benedict's
role
with
utter
ease
in
The
Priest
has
indeed
impressed
the
audience.
Manju
Warrier,
who
plays
a
pivotal
role
in
the
film
has
also
garnered
love
from
the
audience.
As
it
marks
her
maiden
collaboration
with
the
one
and
only
Mammootty,
the
film
has
undeniably
become
a
double
feast
for
the
audiences
on
the
occasion
of
Maha
Shivaratri.
