A major collaboration in Indian cinema has been announced as actors Prithviraj Sukumaran and Manju Warrier are set to headline the upcoming film Odiyan, directed by Rahul Sadasivan. The project marks a significant milestone as it becomes the first Malayalam film backed by Dharma Productions, expanding the banner’s footprint into regional cinema.
The announcement confirms that Dharma Productions is officially entering Malayalam cinema through this collaboration. The production house, led by Karan Johar, has previously worked across Hindi and pan-Indian projects, but Odiyan represents its first direct association with a Malayalam-language film. The move reflects growing cross-industry partnerships within Indian cinema, where regional storytelling is increasingly gaining national and global attention.
The film is being directed by Rahul Sadasivan, known for his work in atmospheric and folklore-driven storytelling. The combination of Prithviraj Sukumaran and Manju Warrier in lead roles has generated strong interest among audiences, given their established presence in South Indian cinema. Industry observers expect the film to blend folklore elements with a modern cinematic approach, aligning with the director’s signature style.
The project also highlights the continuing trend of collaborations between Bollywood and regional film industries. Prithviraj Sukumaran, who has previously co-produced and acted in Hindi projects, continues to expand his cross-industry presence. The announcement signals stronger integration between Malayalam cinema and mainstream production houses, setting the stage for wider distribution and audience reach for Odiyan.
