It's been a couple of years since Shreyas K Manju's film Vishnupriya was all set to hit the screens. Directed by VK Prakash, this intense love story from the 90s was supposed to be Shreyas' follow-up to his first film, Paddehuli, showcasing him in a totally new light. The movie also aimed to capitalize on the fame of Priya Prakash Varrier, who had shot to fame with her viral wink in her debut Malayalam flick. It was originally slated for release in 2023 and 2024, but it just kept getting delayed until now.

Vishnupriya hits the theaters this February

On January 16, the Vishnupriya team gathered to unveil a new song from the film and share the exciting news about its theatrical release. Roaring Star Sriimurali graced the event as the guest of honour and announced that Vishnupriya would hit theatres on February 21. During the event, Shreyas praised director VK Prakash for helping him grow as an actor through this project.

“Vishnupriya is all about the performances; it tells a meaningful story based on real events,” Shreyas mentioned, expressing his gratitude to his father, producer K Manju, for supporting a film that strays from the usual commercial path. He admitted that he was initially hesitant about joining the project, but after seeing the final product, he felt immense pride in what they had accomplished.

In a previous chat with OTTPlay, VK Prakash mentioned that even with his extensive film history, he's really excited for audiences to check out Vishnupriya. He thought Shreyas, who kicked off his career with Paddehuli and was working on another commercial flick called Raana, fit the boy-next-door vibe perfectly, which is exactly what he aimed for in Vishnupriya.
