The film is set to premiere on Mazhavil Manorama and its OTT channel, ManoramaMax next month as an Onam release. . “I have no regrets about my movie not releasing in theatres. Ultimately we all want our movies to reach the audience. In the current scenario, OTT is the best medium,” says Rajesh, director of movies such as Escape from Uganda, Salt Mango Tree and Thrissur Pooram. Although the plan was to have a theatrical release, they decided to go with an OTT route when the film was at the edit table. The post-production was done keeping its digital release in mind, Rajesh adds.
