Mathew Thomas, the lead actor said, “What stayed with me about Nellikkampoyil Night Riders is how it weaves everyday life with something extraordinary. This film is not just about fear, it’s about how we face what scares us most and what we discover about ourselves in the process. I’m glad that starting February 6, audiences can experience this story on ZEE5.” Mathew is a Malayalam film actor popularly known for films like Thanneer Mathan Dinangal, Journey of Love 18 plus, Premalu, Jo and Jo and more.
Roshan Shanavas added, “Being part of this film was exciting because it isn’t confined to one genre. There’s humour, friendship, mystery, and an unpredictable night that changes everything. It feels wonderful that this story will now reach homes across Kerala and beyond on ZEE5.”
Set in the atmospheric village of Nellikkampoyil, where age-old myths shape the landscape and imagination, Nellikkampoyil Night Riders stands out as a vivid mix of horror, comedy, and youth energy. With its engaging performances and compelling visuals, the film promises a fresh OTT experience for viewers who enjoy genre-blending narratives.
