The hype is real! "A role in which he has never been seen before" – that's a big promise. Hope the film lives up to it. Mammukka in a grey shade character? My tickets are booked for the weekend! 🤞

Respectfully, while I admire Mammootty's dedication, I sometimes feel the "never seen before" tag is overused in promotions. The true test is the audience's reaction on Friday. Wishing the whole team the very best.

Vinayakan is a powerhouse actor. Pairing him with Mammootty is a masterstroke. The intensity on screen will be something else. Mollywood is truly in a golden phase with such content and performances.
