Chennai, May 2
The makers of director Nahas Hidhayath's eagerly awaited Malayalam film, 'I'm Game', featuring actor Dulquer Salmaan in the lead, on Friday welcomed one of Tamil cinema's top directors Mysskin onboard the project.
Taking to his timelines on social media, director Nahas Hidhayath wrote, "We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the multifaceted, incredibly talented Mysskin Sir to the #ImGame team! Get ready for an exciting game ahead!"
Ace director and actor Mysskin, for his part, responded by posting a story on his Instagram handle. He wrote, "I am thrilled to be a part of the incredibly talented team #IMGame. Get ready for an exciting game ahead."
Mysskin is only the second actor to be welcomed aboard the unit. The first actor to be named as part of the unit, after Dulquer Salmaan, was Antony Varghese, who is best known for his performance in the hit film, 'Angamalay Diaries'.
Antony Verghese, whose screen name happens to be Pepe, responding to the welcome accorded by the unit, wrote, "Game on! Ready to play! Excited to be on board for #IMGame. Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride!#RollYourDice"
The film's title poster, which was released a while ago, shows two hands, one placed over the other. While one of the hands holds a playing card, the other hand seems to have a bandage, suggesting an injury.
Produced by Dulquer Salmaan along with Jom Verghese, 'I'm Game' has triggered immense interest as this will mark his return to Malayalam cinema. The story of 'I'm Game', which happens to be Dulquer's 40th film, is by Nahas Hidhayath himself while its screenplay is by Sajeer Baba, Bilal Moidu and Ismail Aboobacker.
Cinematography for the film will be by Jimshi Khalid and editing will be by Chaman Chakko. Music for the film, which has raised huge expectations among fans and film buffs, is by Jakes Bejoy. Costumes for the film are to be designed by Mashar Hamsa and production design will be by Deepak Parameshwaran.

Wow! Mysskin joining Dulquer's project is like a dream combo! 🤩 His unique storytelling style will elevate this film for sure. Can't wait to see what magic they create together. Malayalam cinema is on fire these days!
Interesting to see more Tamil-Malayalam collaborations. But I hope they don't compromise on authentic Malayalam flavor just to appeal to wider audiences. Dulquer's last few Malayalam films were brilliant - hope this maintains that standard.
The poster with the bandaged hand has me intrigued! 🔠Mysskin's dark themes combined with Dulquer's charm - what a mix! Also excited for Jakes Bejoy's music. His background scores always elevate the scenes.
Dulquer's 40th film already? Time flies! Remember watching his debut like it was yesterday. This team looks solid, but hope the multiple writers don't make the screenplay feel disjointed. Fingers crossed!
Antony Varghese (Pepe) is such an underrated actor! Glad to see him getting big projects now. The whole cast and crew seems to be having so much fun - hope that energy translates on screen too. Game on indeed! 🎬
While the excitement is understandable, I wish our film industry would give new directors the same opportunities as established names. That said, the technical team looks fantastic - Jimshi Khalid's cinematography is always a visual treat.
