The makers of actor Jayasurya’s Eesho, directed by Nadirshah, have opted for a direct digital release. The long-delayed film is all set to stream on SonyLIV from October 5 this year onwards in five languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada. It is known that the popular OTT platform bagged the streaming rights of the film after paying the highest amount ever paid for a Jayasuriya-starrer film.
Jayasurya reunited with the director after the comedy entertainer Amar Akbar Anthony, which was released in 2015. The film stars Namitha Pramod, another Amar Akbar Anthony cast member, in the female lead role of an advocate named Aswathi. Eesho also showcases the talents of Jaffer Idukki, Johnny Antony, and Suresh Krishna in pivotal roles.
