Featuring actor Mohanlal’s son Pranav Mohanlal, the coming-of-age romantic drama was released in theatres worldwide on January 21 this year and attained critical and commercial success.
Taking to Twitter, the 49-year-old filmmaker expressed his excitement over buying the rights of the movie for three languages — Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. “I am so delighted and honoured to share this news with you. Dharma Productions & Fox Star Studios have acquired the rights to a beautiful, coming-of-age love story, #Hridayam in Hindi, Tamil & Telugu – all the way from the south, the world of Malayalam cinema,” he wrote.
