Mohanlal’s Neerali Bagged by Surya TV
After acquiring the satellite rights of Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbol and Villain, leading Malayalam entertainment channel Surya TV has added another Mohanlal film to its library. The channel officially confirmed through its Facebook page that it has acquired the satellite rights of Neerali.
Surya TV’s recent acquisitions also included Orayiram Kinakkalal and Njan Marykkutty. Neerali, directed by Ajoy Varma, was scheduled for theatrical release on 14 June 2018. The film marked Ajoy Varma’s directorial debut in Malayalam cinema.
The action thriller features Mohanlal in the lead, with Parvatii Nair, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Saikumar, Dileesh Pothan, Nadhiya, Nassar, Megha Mathew, and others in supporting roles.
Cast and Crew
Mohanlal reportedly agreed to the project after being impressed by the script. Neerali arrived as his next theatrical release after Villain. Around the same period, audiences were also eagerly awaiting Odiyan, while the actor was set to appear as Ithikkara Pakki in Rosshan Andrrews’ Kayamkulam Kochunni.
At that time, Odiyan‘s satellite rights had already been acquired by Amrita TV as part of an agreement with Aashirvad Cinemas. Earlier Aashirvad productions such as Velipadinte Pusthakam and Aadhi were also part of the deal, while 1971: Beyond Borders had likewise been acquired by Amrita TV.
Malayalam Television Rights
Surya TV had begun officially announcing its latest satellite rights acquisitions through its social media platforms. Kunchacko Boban’s Kuttanadan Marpappa was among the notable titles acquired by the channel. Other films picked up by Surya TV during the period included Biju Menon’s Orayiram Kinakkalal and the Ranjith Shankar–Jayasurya film Njan Marykkutty.
Stay tuned for more updates on Malayalam movie satellite rights and television premieres.
One suggestion for a future refresh: this post can later be updated with a “Where to Watch Neerali Online?” section (Sun NXT) and a World Television Premiere section if you want to make it evergreen.
Neerali OTT Platform
The digital streaming rights of Neerali are also with Sun NXT, making the platform the home for both the film’s OTT and television rights. Viewers can stream Mohanlal’s action thriller online through the Sun NXT app and website.
