In an earlier interview with OTTplay, Ashraf, who had previously helmed Vinay Forrt’s Thamaasha and Kunchacko Boban’s Bheemante Vazhi, told us, “The movie’s story spans from the previous day of the wedding to till it’s over. A wedding is also an event that is pregnant with emotions – where you are welcoming people, letting go of those you love. The whole ‘blood, sweat and sacrifice’ aspect is there in every wedding, and the family audience can relate to such films easily.”

That said, the wedding drama is also about how Malabar weddings are a celebratory affair. The movie marked Lukman’s first of the two back-to-back movies as a lead hero. The actor also starred in Jackson Bazaar Youth, which also had Jaffer Idukki and Indrans in pivotal roles.

Sulaikha Manzil is set to begin streaming on Disney+ Hotstar from May 30. The platform had recently dropped Vijayaraghavan’s Pookkaalam, which also has Vineeth Sreenivasan and Basil Joseph in pivotal roles.
