Here’s the Kerala release date of Dulquer Salmaan’s Mahanati

The highly anticipated biopic of actress Savitri, Mahanati, is all set to hit screens on May 9. The Tamil (Nadigayar Thilagam) and Malayalam (Mahanadi) versions of the movie will be releasing two days later on May 11. Nag Ashwin is directing this movie which had Keerthy Suresh playing the role of Savitri.

Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan, who is making his Telugu debut, is playing late actor Gemini Ganesan in the movie. Vijay Deverakonda, Naga Chaitanya, Samantha, Prakash Rajendra Prasad, Mohan Babu and Shalini Pandey are also part of the movie’s massive star cast.

Mahanati is expected to have a good opening in Kerala thanks to Dulquer Salmaan. His presence guarantees a fair run for the movie in the state. The actor has not had a release for nearly seven months now and naturally his fans are eagerly waiting for Mahanati.

Mahanati traces Savitri’s life from the 1940s to 1980s and features those films she acted with NT Rama Rao, Akkineni Nageshwara Rao and other legends from the Telugu and Tamil film industry. Though the movie mostly revolves around Savitri’s life, Dulquer as Gemini Ganesan is one of the principal characters in the movie. Savitri was briefly married to Gemini Ganesan and the movie will also show some lesser known details about their relationship.
