Patriot: Nayanthara's saree-clad first look poster unveiled
Mumbai, January 25
The first look of Nayanthara from the upcoming film Patriot is out.
The actress, on Sunday, took to her Instagram account to share the first look poster to give fans a glimpse of her character. The poster shared on Instagram shows only half of her face. She is seen wearing a saree with a serious and intense expression, hinting that her character might be layered and emotionally strong.
The poster also carries the line "Dissent is patriotic," which suggests that the film will touch on social and political themes and raise questions about power, belief, and resistance.
Take a look
The teaser of Patriot was released earlier on October 2 last year. It opens with a mysterious voiceover talking about leaders who control people through faith. The teaser then introduces Mammootty's character, who seems to be on a secret mission. Mohanlal appears as a soldier, and Fahadh Faasil adds more tension to the story with his entry. The teaser shows that the film will deal with strong conflicts and power struggles.
Patriot is written and directed by Mahesh Narayanan, known for his work in Malayalam cinema. The film has a big cast that includes Mohanlal, Mammootty, Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Darshana Rajendran, Revathy, and Nayanthara.
The film is produced by Anto Joseph and KG Anil Kumar under the banner of Anto Joseph Productions. The teaser came out soon after Mammootty returned to shooting following a short break.

Finally a big film with a message! Mahesh Narayanan is a brilliant director. Having both Mammootty and Mohanlal in one film is a dream come true for any Malayalam cinema fan. The teaser was mind-blowing.
The concept sounds interesting, but I hope the execution lives up to the hype. Sometimes these "message" films can become too preachy. Fingers crossed it's a solid story and not just sloganeering.
Nayanthara in a saree with that expression says so much without a word. It's refreshing to see a female lead's first look hint at such a strong, possibly politically charged character. More of this, please!
Mammootty, Mohanlal, AND Fahadh Faasil? This is like the Avengers of Malayalam cinema! 😂 The teaser's theme about leaders controlling through faith is very relevant. Hope the film sparks a good discussion.
Love the bold statement. In a democracy, questioning and dissent are essential. Wearing a saree adds a very Indian, grounded feel to the powerful visual. Mahesh Narayanan rarely disappoints.
