Another gangster role? I wish Dulquer would explore different genres. He has so much potential beyond action films. Still, looking forward to seeing what he brings to this character.

The poster looks amazing! DQ has that perfect blend of style and intensity. Anbariv handling the action is a huge plus - their work in KGF and Vikram was outstanding. Can't wait! 🤩

Good to see him back in Malayalam after Kaantha. While I enjoyed his Tamil film, there's something special about DQ in Malayalam movies. Hope this lives up to the hype!
