Fans rejoice as Dileep’s ‘Kalyanaraman’ gears up for 4K theatrical re-release

Re-releases have become a growing trend in Malayalam cinema, and joining the list is Dileep’s much-loved comedy 'Kalyanaraman', which is gearing up for a return to theatres. Following the recent re-releases of Mammootty and Mohanlal blockbusters, 'Kalyanaraman' will be the next classic to get a 4K remaster.

The re-release date has not yet been announced, but excitement is already building among fans. Known for its timeless humour and star-studded cast, including Dileep, Salim Kumar, Innocent and Navya Nair, the film continues to entertain audiences more than two decades after its original release.

Originally released in 2002, the film was directed by Shafi and written by Benny P Nayarambalam, with Lal producing under the Lal Creations banner. The movie will once again be distributed by Lal, according to reports.

Featuring a large ensemble cast including Kunchacko Boban, Lalu Alex, Lal, Jyothirmayi, Boban Alumoodan, Kochu Preman, and Unnikrishnan Namboothiri, the re-release promises upgraded 4K visuals and enhanced sound. It is expected to hit cinemas in January 2026.
