Asif Ali delivered the first hit of Malayalam cinema in 2025 with ‘Rekhachithram’. The movie revolves around a cop, who is suspended due to a gambling scandal. He rejoins and is handed over an 40-year-old murder case. The movie will soon arrive on the OTT platform after its successful run at the box office.
Rekhachithram OTT Release:
According to the reports, Rekhachithram will release on SonyLiv soon. The official OTT release date of the film has not been announced yet.
In an interview with The Hindu, director Jofin T Chacko talked about the response for his film ‘Rekhachithram’. He said, “We were 100% sure that the film would connect with the generation that grew up watching movies of Bharathan and Padmarajan and/or consuming film-based content in Nana and Chithrabhumi (popular vernacular film magazines of the period). But from this generation … it came as a surprise!”
Talking about the plot of the film, he added, “Ramu and I had discussed the basic idea back then — that a movie from the past would be the backdrop of the plot and the use of a popular song of the time. We had even fixed the name of the lead character, Rekha, and the name of the movie. We felt that maybe it was not the film to be made as one’s first work. But I was certain I would make this movie at some point!”
Apart from Asif Ali, the movie also stars Anaswara Rajan, Mammootty, Manoj K. Jayan, Siddique, Jagadish, Saikumar, Harisree Ashokan and Indrans in the pivotal roles.
