The Sharaf U Dheen-Aishwarya Lekshmi starrer horror-comedy Hello Mummy has started streaming on Prime Video. Directed by debutant Vaishakh Elans, the film follows a man's (Sharaf) new life that turns into a paranormal battleground when his future mother-in-law's spirit throws a ghostly tantrum over his suitability for her daughter Stephy (Aishwarya). The film also stars Jagadish, Johny Antony, Ganga Meera, Adhri Joe, Joemon Jyothir, Bindu Panicker, Aju Varghese, and Sunny Hinduja.

An excerpt from our Hello Mummy review reads: "This year’s Bollywood blockbuster Stree 2 featured a mother’s spirit with a better emotional arc. Here, Stephy’s mother is reduced to an overbearing presence with no identity beyond her obsessive control over her daughter’s life. The film misses an opportunity to explore this dynamic with nuance, opting instead for contrived ideas."

Sharaf U Dheen has Pet Detective, alongside his Premam co-star Anupama Parameswaran, in the pipeline. On the other hand, Aishwarya Lekshmi's upcoming projects include the Tamil film Thug Life, with director Mani Ratnam and co-star Kamal Haasan, and the Telugu film Sambarala Yeti Gattu, alongside Sai Durgha Tej.
