Manorathangal OTT release - It is now scheduled to premiere digitally on ZEE5 on August 15. The project will be available in Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
The Malayalam anthology film has been in the works for a while. It stars renowned young Indian actors like Fahadh Faasil, Parvathy Thiruvothu, as well as veteran actors like Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal. It is now scheduled to premiere digitally on ZEE5 on August 15. The project will be available in Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Additionally, OTTplay Premium subscribers will have access to the film.
The idea for the web series was initially developed in 2021, during the pandemic, when anthologies were all the rage. As of the last time we heard, Netflix had abandoned the project. Zee5 recently joined the cause and is prepared to stream the anthology, which features several prominent individuals. During an event held in Kochi last month, the anthology's makers revealed the trailer and set the August release date.

The trailer walks viewers through the many short stories that Manorathangal is going to tell while offering an insight into its world. The anthology, which is based on the renowned author M T Vasudevan Nair's beloved works, features an all-star cast that has never before worked together in Malayalam cinema. The project is highly anticipated because it will bring back the magic of the renowned author and features nine extremely talented filmmakers and numerous outstanding actors.
Each anthology segment was supposedly supposed to run between forty and fifty minutes. Priyadarshan directed two parts, which are Biju Menon's Shilalikhitangal and Mohanlal's Olavum Theeravum. Santosh Sivan directed Siddique in Abhayam Thedi, Jayaraj worked with Indrans, Nedumudi Venu, and Surabhi Lakshmi for Swargam Thurakunna Samayam, and Ashwathy directed Vilpana with Asif Ali and Madhoo.
