Kochi: Mohanlal’s super hit film Ravanaprabhu(2001) is returning to theatres after 24 years. Directed by Ranjith, the movie features Mohanlal in a dual role as father and son and has been fully remastered in 4K with Dolby Atmos sound for an enhanced cinematic experience.
The re-release is scheduled on Friday, October 10. Ravanaprabhu was Ranjith’s directorial debut and continues the story of Mangalassery Neelakandan from the 1993 cult classic Devasuram, originally directed by IV Sasi. The film was widely acclaimed for its gripping father-son narrative, emotional depth, and Karthikeyan’s mass-appealing scenes, many of which remain popular in social media reels even today.
The restoration has been handled by Matinee Now, known for bringing Malayalam classics back to modern theatres. Following the success of Chotta Mumbai’s re-release, Ravanaprabhu is the next film in the trend of reviving Mohanlal’s timeless hits. Earlier re-releases include Spadikam, Devadoothan, and Manichithrathazhu, with Udayananu Tharam also slated for a future re-release.
The film is being screened with enhanced visual and sound effects in around 170 theatres across Kerala. The film, produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas, is presented in 4K Atmos by Matinee Now. The cast includes Napoleon, Siddique, Ratheesh, Sai Kumar, Innocent, Vasundhara Das, Revathi, Bheeman Raghu, Augustine, Ramu, and Maniyanpilla Raju. The music is composed by Suresh Peters, cinematography by P Sukumar, editing by Ranjan Abraham, and background score by Rajani.
