Online multiplayer game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) has released its first ad film in Malayalam, recreating the iconic "Pennukaanal" scene from the movie Sandesham.

Not only does the ad recreate the set and the shots exactly, but it goes one step ahead - the film was directed by Anoop Sathyan, son of Sandesham director Sathyan Anthikad, while actor Dhyan Sreenivasan takes over the role of Kottappalli Prabhakaran, portrayed by his father, the legendary Malayalam film actor Sreenivasan, in the original film.

Maitri Advertising, Kochi, created this ad for Krafton, the company that owns BGMI.

The ad film has garnered over 3 million views and thousands of comments across platforms.
