While netizens are busy between the `Dunki` vs `Salaar` clash at the box office, another film has quietly released in the theatres on the same day as Shah Rukh Khan`s Dunki. The Malayalam film `Neru` starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph is a courtroom drama that hit the theatres on Thursday. It is from the same director-actor duo who made the super successful films `Drishyam` and `Drishyam 2` in Malayalam, which was then re-made in multiple languages.
Apart from Mohanlal, `Neru` also stars Priyamani and Answara in prominent roles. In the film, Mohanlal plays a public prosecutor named Vijaymohan while Anaswara essays the role of Sara, a blind sculptor. Priyamani plays the defending lawyer. The script of the film has been penned by Jeethu and Santh Mayadevi.
