Chennai, May 5 (IANS) Director Sivaprasad's superhit Malayalam film, 'Maranamass', featuring Basil Joseph and Rajesh Madhavan in the lead, is to premiere on OTT from May 15 this year.

The quirky dark comedy, which made waves in theatres, is all set to be streamed exclusively on the platform, Sony LIV, from May 15.
