Mammootty’s CBI 5 gears up for OTT release

The Mammootty starrer ‘CBI 5: The Brain’ is all set to stream on Netflix on June 12. The film, which originally hit screens on May 1, garnered mixed response during its theatrical run. It still managed to do decent business at the box office thanks to the iconic status of the CBI franchise.

The fifth installment of CBI series has Mammootty rejoining with script writer SN Swamy and director K Madhu. It also marked Mammootty’s return as CBI officer Sethurama Iyer. Along with him, actors Mukesh and Sai Kumar are also reprising their characters, Chacko and Sathyadas, respectively. Jagathy Sreekumar is also there in a cameo appearance. While Anoop Menon and Sudev Nair play cops, Dileesh Pothan essays the role of a politician. Renji Panicker, Alexander Prashanth and Ramesh Pisharody are also part of the CBI team.

Soubin Shahir, Asha Sarath, Anna Reshma Rajan, Malavika Nair, Swasika, Ansiba Hassan, Kottayam Ramesh and many others are part of the supporting cast. Music is by Jakes Bejoy and cinematography by Akhil George.
