About the film

Minnal Murali, which has been set in the 90s, revolves around the saga of a common man who becomes a superhuman after being hit by lightning. Tovino Thoma will be seen in a never seen character of a superhero. Not only in Malayalam, but the film will also be streamed on Netflix in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and English on December 24.

The film, which was set to release in theatres in late-2020, was postponed several times due to the COVID pandemic. Later in September 2021, the creators announced the theatrical release of the film on December 24, 2021, directly through Netflix. Earlier in an interview with ANI, Tovino had said, "I've been attached and committed to the character of Minnal Murali from the very beginning. I spent all my time communicating with my director to ensure the best possible outcome and immense amounts of work went into creating Minnal Murali. I've learned a lot and I'm grateful that during these strange times, people can still appreciate cinema from the comfort of their homes through Netflix. I hope everyone who watches the film loves Minnal Murali just as much as I do."
