The Malayalam crime thriller Thalavan premiered in theaters on May 24, 2024, and performed well at the box office. Now, almost two months later, recent reports indicate that the film is set to make its digital debut in the coming months, generating excitement among fans who missed its theatrical run.
Directed by Jis Joy, Thalavan centers around the Chepannamthota case. The protagonist, retired DYSP Udhayabhanu, shares some of his professional life events on a TV program. This revelation uncovers a series of events that occurred during the investigation.
The film stars Biju Menon as CI Jayashanker and DYSP, Asif Ali as SI Karthik, and Miya George as Sunitha in the lead roles. Other notable cast members include Sunjith Shankar, Anusree, Dileesh Pothan, Joji John, and more. Thalavan marks the fourth collaboration between director Jis Joy and actor Asif Ali.
When will Thalavan be released?
Recent reports suggest that Thalavan will make its digital debut on SonyLIV. While the exact release date hasn’t been revealed, it is expected to be released in September 2024, coinciding with the Onam festival. However, it’s important to note that the makers have yet to make an official announcement regarding the streaming details. If the reports are accurate, OTT lovers can enjoy this crime thriller drama from the comfort of their homes. Those who have already watched it in theaters can relive their experiences.
In an interview with OTTplay, director Jis Joy recently shared his experience working with Biju Menon. He said, “This is the first time I am working with him. He is extremely selective about the kind of films he takes up. We would think that he is lazy, but that’s not the reason at all. He is shrewd when it comes to choosing his scripts. “
“I haven’t seen anyone listen as intently as he does to scripts; he keeps asking for details during the narration. Because of his experience, working with him was a breeze. We just had to explain to him once, and he would keep doing the scene till he thinks he has got it right,” he added.
Overall, it will be intriguing to see when the Thalavan makers will officially announce its OTT release date. Stay tuned for further updates on the OTT release.
