Malayalam cinema enthusiasts are in for a nostalgic treat as Mammootty’s 2000 blockbuster Vallyettan gets a stunning 4K remaster and is set to premiere on Manorama MAX. Fans can relive the action-packed drama starting February 7, 2025, as the streaming platform officially announced the release through its social media.
A Story of Power, Legacy, and Family Feuds
Vallyettan follows the gripping journey of Arakkal Madhavanunni, portrayed by Mammootty, a respected businessman and feudal lord. His leadership and integrity are tested when his uncle and cousin conspire against him, threatening his ancestral home and family legacy. As tensions rise, Madhavanunni must stand his ground, leading to a tale filled with intense drama, powerful dialogues, and high-octane action.
A Star-Studded Production
Helmed by Shaji Kailas, the film features a powerhouse ensemble including Shobana, Sai Kumar, Siddique, Manoj K. Jayan, Innocent, Kalabhavan Mani, and Bheeman Raghu. The screenplay, crafted by Ranjith, is complemented by Mohan Sitara’s music and Rajamani’s gripping background score. With cinematography by Ravi Varman and editing by L. Bhoominathan, the film delivers a visually compelling experience.
A Legacy That Lives On
Not just a Malayalam hit, Vallyettan inspired a Kannada remake titled Jyeshta, starring the late Vishnuvardhan. More than two decades later, the film continues to hold a special place in Malayalam cinema history, making its 4K release an exciting event for fans and new audiences alike.
What’s Next for Mammootty?
The legendary actor, fresh from Dominic and the Ladies’ Purse by Gautham Vasudev Menon, is now focused on an ambitious project with director Mahesh Narayan, currently under the working title MMMN.
