A producer steps into distribution
In Malayalam film news this season, Binu George Alexander's name has come up as a producer. He is credited as producer on L368, Mohanlal's film with Anoop Sathyan, alongside Aashirvad Cinemas and Antony Perumbavoor, and the film was launched with a pooja in Kochi on October 30. Manorama Online reported that Om marks the company's new step into distribution, with plans to stay active in both production and distribution.
We first reported the rights deal in our Om Kerala rights story. What the official poster adds is how the film will actually reach screens: Dream Big Films, which is also handling the Kerala release of Suriya's Scene with Sree Gokulam Movies this week, will do the theatre bookings.
Binu George Alexander Productions: Holds Om's Kerala distribution rights; producer of L368 with Aashirvad Cinemas and Antony Perumbavoor.
Dream Big Films: Theatrical distributor in Kerala on the company's behalf, as the official poster shows.
L368: Mohanlal's film directed by Anoop Sathyan; pooja in Kochi on October 30.
The film
Om stars Dhanush, Mammootty and Sai Pallavi, with Sreeleela, Naseeruddin Shah and Indrans in the cast. Rajkumar Periasamy wrote and directed it, Sai Abhyankkar composed the music and Ezhil Arasan is the cinematographer. The poster credits Shraddha Agrawal as producer, with Dhanush and Azmat Jagmag. Wunderbar Films and RTake Studios are the production houses.
For Kerala audiences, the pull is Mammootty. Om is his first Tamil film since Peranbu (2019), and our Mammootty Tamil movies list has every film he has made in the language.
