Mohanlal is unarguably the biggest star Malayalam cinema has ever had. Interestingly the superstar has once again shown his immense star power, by setting a new record with the satellite rights of his films. Reportedly, Mohanlal films own the top 4 positions, in the list of highest satellite rights prices for Malayalam films.
According to the latest updates, Marakkar Arabikadalinte Simham, the upcoming historical drama, has earned the all-time highest satellite rights rate for a Malayalam film so far. The movie, which won 3 National film awards including the award for India's Best Feature Film, will have Mohanlal in the titular role Kunjali Marakkar IV.
Lucifer, the 2019-released action drama that marked the directorial debut of actor Prithviraj Sukumaran is in the second position. The blockbuster movie featured Mohanlal in the role of Stephen Nedumpilly, a politician who also has a different identity named Khureshi Ab'Ram. The Prithviraj directorial had set a record with its satellite rights at the time of its release. But now, it is broken by Marakkar.
Drishyam 2, the OTT blockbuster that earned immensely positive reviews from both the audiences and critics, is in the third position. According to the reports, the Jeethu Joseph directorial failed to overtake Marakkar Arabikadalinte Simham and Lucifer, mainly due to its release in Amazon Prime Video.

The action thriller that featured Mohanlal in the titular role is still a hot favourite for Malayalam cinema audiences.
