Adding more reasons for the disagreement, the OTT platform seems to be not satisfied with the fact that the movie failed to mint good numbers at the box office and received mediocre reviews from the audiences, forcing them to reconsider the streaming rights price deal. If the reports turn out to be true, then the Tovino Thomas starrer will only arrive on OTT once the issue is sorted.
Directed by Lal Jr., ‘Nadikar’ had Tovino Thomas playing an on-screen superstar named David Padikkal who goes through a crisis in his life and career. Actress Bhavana played a pivotal role in the movie which also featured the actors Soubin Shahir, Suresh Krishna, Balu Varghese, Divya Pillai, Anoop Menon, Dinesh Prabhakar, Major Ravi, Indrans, and many more in pivotal roles.

On the other hand, Tovino Thomas’ recent outing ‘Ajayante Randam Moshanam’ has raked in more than Rs 100 crores at the box office. The movie which was helmed by the debutant Jithin Lal also marks the Malayalam debut of the actress Krithi Shetty.
