He elaborated on his views, emphasising that the current climate is not only damaging but is also actively attacking and degrading the integrity of cinema.
According to him, it is the youngsters who fueled their desire to bring back the film in theatres.
For those who have only ever seen 'Devadoothan' on television and for a new generation unfamiliar with the movie, this re-release is a thrilling chance to experience its magic in theatres as it was meant to be seen.
The producer said the film has potential to compete at the awards.
Raghunath Paleri, who wrote the film said he had chosen another Carnatic kriti for the sequence and it was Vidyasagar who came up with ‘Endaro Mahanubhavulu.'
The movie featuring Mohanlal and Jaya Prada in prominent roles, revolves around a music composer's quest for the truth behind the unknown spirit that guides him when he returns to his college.
While the backbone of Sibi Malayil’s films was scriptwriter A K Lohithadas’s screenplay, Mohanlal was a major force behind its success and vice versa.
In a way, we'll have to say that the movie is a mix of horror, mystery and music because the backbone of the movie is the music in it.
Director Sibi Malayil said he was the one who suggested the film could be edited and released again.
FEFKA president Sibi Malayil who delivered a speech during the event recalled how Mohanlal worked unofficially as an assistant director for two weeks on the sets of director Fazil's film 'Manjil Virinja Pookkal'.
