While netizens are busy between the 'Dunki' vs 'Salaar' clash at the box office, another film has quietly released in the theatres on the same day as Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki. The Malayalam film 'Neru' starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph is a courtroom drama that hit the theatres on Thursday. It is from the same director-actor duo who made the super successful films 'Drishyam' and 'Drishyam 2' in Malayalam, which was then re-made in multiple languages.
Apart from Mohanlal, 'Neru' also stars Priyamani and Answara in prominent roles. In the film, Mohanlal plays a public prosecutor named Vijaymohan while Anaswara essays the role of Sara, a blind sculptor. Priyamani plays the defending lawyer. The script of the film has been penned by Jeethu and Santh Mayadevi.
