The action drama Valliettan, starring Mammootty and directed by Shaji Kailas, is making a grand return to theaters with enhanced 4K visuals and immersive Dolby Atmos sound. This re-release is set to bring a new level of experience for fans, giving fresh life to the film that originally captivated audiences in 2000.
Valliettan stars Mammootty as the powerful Arackal Madhavanunni, whose commanding dialogues and screen presence made this film an unforgettable milestone in Malayalam cinema. With a cast that includes Kalabhavan Mani, Manoj K Jayan, Shobana, and NF Varghese, the movie was a blockbuster success, ranking among the highest-grossing films of its year.
Scripted by Ranjith, Valliettan quickly became a fan favorite, drawing in audiences with its gripping story and stellar performances. Although it was remade in Kannada as Jyeshta with Vishnuvardhan in the lead, the remake struggled to capture the essence that Mammootty and the original team delivered.
This re-release of Valliettan follows the recent resurgence of another Mammootty classic, Paleri Manikyam, bringing the star’s iconic roles back to the big screen. For long-time fans and new viewers alike, this is a golden opportunity to experience a classic action drama with state-of-the-art quality. Catch Valliettan in theaters once again, and relive the magic of Arackal Madhavanunni!
