The highly anticipated Jai Mahendran, Sony LIV’s first-ever Malayalam Original web series, is set to make waves as actor Saiju Kurup makes his web debut.
Initially slated for February 9, 2014, its release faced mysterious delays. However, the wait is over, and this satirical political drama finally has a confirmed release date,
drawing comparisons to Disney Plus Hotstar’s hit, Perilloor Premier League, known for its smart humor and engaging narrative.
Plot Overview Saiju Kurup plays a corrupt deputy tehsildar, a man who manipulates the system to serve his personal interests. Using his power and influence,
he deftly navigates the complex bureaucratic network, ensuring that everything falls in line with his selfish agenda.
The series promises a compelling mix of sharp political satire and witty dialogues, offering viewers an insightful look into the workings of a flawed system.
Talented Cast & Crew Directed by Srikanth Mohan and written by National Award-winning filmmaker Rahul Riji Nair (also the showrunner), Jai Mahendran boasts a star-studded cast.
Alongside Saiju Kurup, the series features renowned actors like Miya George, Suhasini, Maniyanpilla Raju, Balachandran Chullikadu, and more.
The cinematography by Prasanth Raveendran and music by Sidhartha Pradeep will further elevate the series’ production quality,
with Christy Sebastian on board as the editor. The production is backed by First Print Studios.
Official Release Date & Platform Mark your calendars! Jai Mahendran will premiere on October 11, 2024, exclusively on Sony LIV. This comedy-drama,
available in Malayalam, promises to be a must-watch for fans of intelligent satire and political intrigue.
Clever Promotion Campaign The promotional videos for Jai Mahendran have already hinted at the show’s sharp sense of humor.
In the first promo, media members visit the tehsildar’s office to discuss the web series, only to be politely told to return later—setting up a witty and bureaucratic tone. In the second promo, the media is met with another obstacle—a request for a formal letter,
followed by the tehsildar’s remark that it would take seven months for approval, poking fun at bureaucratic inefficiency. These teasers cleverly reflect the show’s theme of bureaucratic absurdity.
Don’t Miss It! If you’re a fan of political dramas with humor, Jai Mahendran is the perfect series to tune into.
Expect biting satire, standout performances, and an engaging narrative that critiques the flaws of bureaucratic systems.
