Despite facing stiff competition from major releases like Salaar and Dunki, the Malayalam film "Neru" took the bold step of hitting theaters on the 21st, exuding confidence that it could hold its own against the cinematic heavyweights. Featuring the versatile actor Mohanlal as the protagonist, this courtroom drama, skillfully directed with a gripping screenplay by Jeethu Joseph, has managed to captivate audiences and boasts impressive box office collections.
While the film continues to make big money at the box office, the latest news is that the film's digital streaming rights are bagged by noted OTT platform Disney Plus Hotstar. However, the streaming details of the film are not yet disclosed.
Jeethu Joseph, renowned for his enchanting work in films like Drushyam 1 and 2, as well as overseeing the direction of the Telugu version of Drushyam 2, has once again worked his magic with "Neru." His knack for storytelling and creating compelling narratives has resonated well with the viewers, establishing the movie as a compelling cinematic experience.
The director, who shares a commendable rapport with Venkatesh since their collaboration on Drushyam, is currently immersed in the making of Drushyam 3. Recognizing the potential compatibility between Venkatesh and the narrative of "Neru," Jeethu Joseph has personally recommended the film to the seasoned actor, urging him to give it a watch. Will the actor act in the remake of Neru? Remains to be seen.
