Summary

- Praises the success of Dulquer Salmaan's 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra'
- Emphasizes the crucial role of streaming platforms in nurturing regional cinema
As of November 12th, 2025, Vineeth Sreenivasan, one of Malayalam cinema's most versatile talents, continues to juggle his roles as an actor, director, and singer with remarkable ease. Known for heartfelt films like 'Hridayam' and 'Thira', Vineeth's recent directorial project 'Karma' underperformed at the box office last month. Yet, his optimism remains intact.
Vineeth is thrilled about the phenomenal success of Dulquer Salmaan's 'Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra', which stars Kalyani Priyadarshan as Chandra. He believes the film's triumph not only uplifts the morale of filmmakers but also restores faith among investors who are often apprehensive about backing diverse projects. Vineeth emphasizes the crucial role of streaming platforms in nurturing regional cinema, stating that stronger OTT support would give producers the courage to attempt more boundary-pushing films.
The actor-director also points out the growing international exposure of Malayalam films, attributing it to the increasing migration of Malayalis to countries like the UK and Canada over the past five to six years. These audiences not only show up in theaters but also encourage their non-Malayali friends and colleagues abroad to experience these movies.
