Lijo Jose Pellissery's much-awaited project Ee. Maa. Yau will finally see the light of the day on May 4. The Angamaly Diaries director has confirmed the news on his Facebook page. The news was also posted earlier by director Aashiq Abu (Maayanadhi) with an announcement that he has taken over as the producer.

The film, which won three Kerala State Film Awards, including Best Director for Pellissery, was originally supposed to be released in December 2017. However, the overwhelmingly positive response to the film at its preview screening compelled the director to postpone the release to accommodate more screens in India. This has made many viewers hopeful that the film will reach as many Indian screens as possible, preferably with multiple screenings in a single day.
