On the heels of Mohanlal’s 2000 film Devadoothangetting a 4K remastered version re-release, the actor’s Manichitrathazhu is also getting the same treatment. The film, helmed by Fazil, also starred Shobana and Suresh Gopi in lead roles.
Shobana took to Instagram to share the news about the film’s re-release.
Manichitrathazhu is all set to hit screens once again on August 17. The film also starred actors like Nedumudi Venu, KPAC Lalitha, Innocent, Thilakan, Kuthiravattam Pappu, Vinaya Prasad, KB Ganesh Kumar, and Sudheesh. Manichitrathazhu went on to two National Awards, including Best Actress for Shobana and Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, apart from being remade in multiple languages.
