Sookshmadarshini marked the much-anticipated return of Nazriya Nazim to the silver screen after a hiatus. An accomplished actor in her own right, Nazriya is also the wife of renowned actor Fahadh Faasil. Starring alongside her is Basil Joseph, a celebrated director and actor who enjoyed one of the highest commercial success rates in the Malayalam film industry in 2024. Known for his playful demeanor, laughter, and impeccable comedic timing, Basil usually brings a unique charm to the screen.
When these two talented actors teamed up, it was destined to be a winning combination. Initially, it was rumored that the film would have its OTT premiere on Zee5, but those reports were later disproven. Sookshmadarshini is now set to release on Disney Plus Hotstar.
