After Marco's success, expectations are sky-high for Kattalan. The cast looks solid but I hope they don't compromise on story for mass appeal. South cinema has shown we can have both!

Wow what a cast! Rajisha + Antony Varghese + Sunil 🔥 And Ajaneesh Loknath's music! This is going to be lit. When is the first look releasing? Can't wait!

Hope they don't make it too violent just because it's an action thriller. Rajisha deserves meaningful roles, not just being a glamorous sidekick. Her performance in June was so nuanced.

Another pan-Indian film...hope they don't lose the Malayalam cinema essence that made Marco special. The crew looks promising though - Dhanya's costumes are always on point!

Sunil from Pushpa in a Malayalam film? Interesting crossover! The industry is really becoming borderless. Wishing the whole team success. Hope it releases with good Hindi dubbing too.
