Sibi Malayil delivers an emotional speech at the grand Kireedam 4K trailer launch event in Kochi. The legendary director reflects on the historic 4K restoration of his classic masterpiece.

KOCHI — The monumental theatrical re-release of the 1989 Malayalam cinema masterpiece Kireedam in a pristine 4K restoration with immersive Dolby Atmos sound has sent waves of profound nostalgia across the industry. Spearheaded by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and the National Film Archive of India (NFAI), this historic restoration project breathes new life into the timeless emotional tragedy written by the legendary A.K. Lohithadas. Speaking at the exclusive trailer launch event in Kochi, veteran filmmaker Sibi Malayil delivered a poignant address detailing the creative journey behind this milestone. The director reflected extensively on the film’s enduring cultural impact and paid emotional tributes to the late Thilakan, Cochin Haneefa, and music maestro Johnson Master, whose contributions gave the film its soul. Captured exclusively by BTF Productions, this uncut footage showcases Sibi Malayil outlining the technical effort required to restore the original 35mm print. He emphasized how the heartbreaking journey of Sethumadhavan, brought to life by superstar Mohanlal, remains a definitive pillar of Mollywood history that continues to resonate across generations.
