Chennai, Jan 13

The makers of director Paul George's pan-Indian Malayalam film 'Kattalan', featuring actor Antony Varghese (Pepe) in the lead, have now announced that their film will hit screens on May 14 this year.

Cube Entertainments, the production house producing the film, took to its Instagram stories section to make the announcement. It wrote, "In cinemas worldwide May 14."

It may be recalled that the unit of the film had wrapped up its Vagamon schedule only recently.

Sharing a BTS video that contained clips of the crew at work in Vagamon, the production house had, a couple of days earlier, said, "Vagamon schedule wrap up. Kattalan teaser dropping on Jan 16,2026! A Cubes International Initiative."

It may be recalled that the production house had, late last year, paid tribute to the stuntmen who had worked on the film.

The production house had then released the footage of a four-wheeler turning turtle during the filming of a stunt sequence and offered their salutations to brave stuntmen, whose courage enabled film units to shoot such sequences.

The film has triggered huge interest in fans and film buffs. For the unaware, producer Shareef Muhammed of Cubes Entertainments, best known for making the blockbuster 'Marco', is back with his next ambitious venture titled 'Kattalan', a high-octane pan-Indian action thriller that is being directed by Paul George.

While actor Antony Varghese (Pepe) and actress Rajisha Vijayan play the lead in the film, it will also feature Rapper Baby Jean, Telugu actor Sunil, best known for his performances in blockbusters like 'Pushpa: The Rise' (2021), 'Pushpa 2' (2024) and 'Jailer' (2023), actor Kabir Duhan Singh, known for his intense screen presence and powerful performances across multiple languages and veteran Malayalam actors Jagadeesh and Siddique in pivotal roles.

It may be recalled that the makers had also welcomed actor Parth Tiwari and actor Anson Paul on board the unit of the film. Prior to that, they had got on board promising talent Shon Joy. The model-turned-actor is best known for his performance in his debut film 'Alappuzha Gymkhana (2025)'. He is known to have a strong screen presence and is considered a promising talent.

Story for the film has been penned by Paul George, Joby Varghese and Jero Jacob. The dynamic trio is making its sensational writing debut with 'Kattalan'. Sources say that the writers have blended raw storytelling energy with cinematic vision to craft a gritty, high-stakes narrative that thrusts audiences deep into the world of power, betrayal, and the deadly missions.

The film has music by Ajaneesh Loknath, the musical genius behind 'Kantara 2' and choreography by Sharief. Costumes for the film are by Dhanya Balakrishnan and cinematography is by Renadive. Editing for the film is by Shameer Muhammed.

The team behind 'Marco' is involved, so the action should be top-notch. Respect to the stunt team they highlighted. That's a nice touch often overlooked. Looking forward to the teaser on the 16th.

The cast is fantastic! Sunil from Pushpa and Kabir Duhan Singh? That's a powerful combination. But I hope the story lives up to this 'pan-Indian' hype. Sometimes these multi-language projects lose the soul of Malayalam cinema's strong narratives.

Ajaneesh Loknath on music is the biggest win for me. The man is a genius after Kantara. The BGM alone will be worth the ticket price. Vagamon visuals with his score? Yes, please!

Good to see a fresh writing team getting a big break. Hope they bring something new to the action-thriller space, which can get repetitive. Fingers crossed for Pepe and Rajisha's combo!

The article mentions "pan-Indian" so many times. I get the marketing, but I hope the film's core identity remains strong and isn't diluted just to appeal to all markets. A good story transcends regions anyway.
