The film, a celebrated classic in Malayalam cinema, is poised for its re-release after 36 years, hitting theaters starting tomorrow.
Reflecting on the re-release, Bijli shares, “It is an unparalleled experience. I feel privileged to be part of this legendary team of ‘Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha’, guided by M T sir, Hariharan sir, P V G sir, and Mammootty sir, who have set a standard in Indian cinema's history. The 4K visuals and Dolby Atmos sound enhance this masterpiece of Malayalam cinema, making it a must-see for every Malayali.”
Bijli comments on how contemporary audiences might view the film, stating, “Masterpieces transcend time. ‘Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha’ is a unique marvel—a blend of the brilliance of M.T. sir, Hariharan sir, PVG sir, and Mammootty sir. Written by the legendary literary figure M T sir, directed by the expert Hariharan sir, and produced by the visionary PVG sir, this film remains a timeless classic—an exceptional visual delight for every new generation.”
He further adds, “‘Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha’ is a masterpiece originating from the brilliance of one of India’s greatest literary figures.
