A low-budget, high-concept action film set in the Kochi metro rail construction tunnels. Asif Ali plays a vigilante electrician fighting a human trafficking ring. The entire second half takes place in near-darkness with flashlights and improvised weapons. Early festival screenings (IFFK 2025) called it "John Wick meets The Raid in a tunnel."
Family-friendly but hard-hitting.
Yes, this is a bilingual Tamil-Malayalam action film, but it will release in a heavily Malayalam-dubbed version. Prithviraj plays a rogue RAW agent operating in Kerala’s coastal belt. Lokesh’s signature "dark, violent, gritty" action style merges with Malayalam’s realistic fight sensibility. Expect a Vikram -style cameo by an A-list Malayalam star (unconfirmed: Fahadh Faasil or Tovino Thomas).
This mega-budget project features the legendary duo of Mammootty and Mohanlal under director Mahesh Narayanan. The plot involves covert operatives racing against a national security threat, aiming for an international scale of production. 3.
