Vishnu Mohan’s directorial debut ‘Meppadiyan’ starring Unni Mukundan in the lead, was a brilliant success at the box office for its easy telling of a common man’s life. It was also the first film under the banner of Unni Mukundan Films Private Limited (UMF). The film’s thriller episode garnered rave reviews from the audience and also called Meppadiyan the best film of Unni Mukundan so far.
The film is now streaming on OTT Amazon Prime and will have its World Television Premiere on Amritha Tv on April 15, on the occasion of Vishu. Meppadiyan and the team are now in high spirits after its 100 days of journey and the team had its success celebration at IMA Hall, Kaloor, Kochi on Monday.
The news of their success was shared by actor and producer Unni Mukundan through his official Facebook page. At the same time, the actor also announced his second production venture from UMF, Shafeekinte Santhosham, which will kick-start from April 16.
