The latest update comes shortly after the makers announced a change in the release date. Initially scheduled to hit theatres on November 27, the release was postponed, giving fans a longer wait before witnessing Mammootty's next performance. The film is slated to hit theatres on December 5.
Jithin K Jose directs the movie, while the music is composed by Mujeeb Majeed. The film is produced by George Sebastian under the banner of Mammootty Kompany.
The makers recently released the movie's trailer, offering a brief glimpse of Mammootty's character. The film also stars Vinayakan in the lead role. The one-minute and fifty-second trailer opens with an introduction to the story of two friends whose petty fights turned into a communal riot in the village of Kottayikkonam in the Thiruvananthapuram district.
Mammootty recently won the Best Actor award for his stellar performance in Rahul Sadasivan's folk-horror film Bramayugam. In contrast, debutante Shamla Hamza won the Best Actress award for her impressive portrayal in Feminichi Fathima at the Kerala State Film Awards 2025.

The delay was disappointing but quality over speed any day. Malayalam cinema has been delivering such meaningful content lately. Hoping this lives up to the hype!
Vinayakan is such an underrated actor! Great to see him in a lead role alongside Mammootty. The story about communal riots sounds very relevant to current times in Kerala.
As someone who recently discovered Malayalam cinema, I'm impressed by the depth of storytelling. Mammootty's transformation from Bramayugam to this shows his incredible range. Excited for this release!
While I appreciate the anticipation building, I hope the film delivers substance and not just style. Some recent Malayalam films have had great posters but weak scripts. Fingers crossed this one breaks the trend!
The trailer was powerful! Dealing with sensitive topics like communal riots requires careful handling. Hope the director does justice to such an important subject matter. 🤞
