Earlier, it was reported that Nivin Pauly's Sakhavu will hit the big screens on April 14th, Vishu day. But, the lead actor Nivin Pauly recently confirmed that the release of the movie has been pushed by a day, to April 15th as the theatre rush would be comparatively low on that day being both Vishu and Good Friday.

Directed by National award-winner Sidhartha Siva, the political drama features Aishwarya Rajesh in the female lead. In the movie, Nivin essays the central character Krishna Kumar, a communist whose life changes after a medical college visit.

Scripted by director Sidhartha himself, the movie also features actor-writer Sreenivasan in a key role along with Aparna Gopinath, Gayathri Suresh, Maniyanpilla Raju, Joju George and many others in the supporting roles. Produced by B Rakesh, under the banner Universal Cinema, Sakhavu has music by Prashant Pillai.
