Mammootty's Kalamkaval will hit theatres on November 27, 2025. The actor's production house MammoottyKampany has announced.
Ever since the teaser gave us a glimpse of the characters played by Mammootty (as a chilling psychopath!), Vinayakan and Azees Nedumangad, fans have been anticipatedly awaiting the release. After Bramayugam, all eyes are on this film which is expected to create a milestone.
To add to the intrigue, the makers revealed a few first-look posters of Mammootty's character, reportedly named 'Cynanide' Mohan.
Kalamkaval is directed by debutant Jithin K Jose, who was one of the co-writers of Dulquer Salmaan's Kurup, in which he also worked as an assistant director.
For some fans, Mammootty's negative characters have a special place in their hearts since some of the actor's most iconic roles lean towards the grey side, most notably Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Vidheyan.
Before Bramayugam, there was his 'Luke Antony' in Rorschach, which saw the actor presenting another twisted, never-before-seen character.
Meanwhile, Mammootty is in the middle of shooting Mahesh Narayanan's Patriot. He recently joined the London sets of the film after completing the Hyderabad schedule. MammoottyKampany had shared a video of the team filming the portions which also involves Aattam actress Zarin Shihab.
The big-scale thriller has Mohanlal in a prominent role alongside Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara and others. It is bankrolled jointly by MammoottyKampany and Anto Joseph Film Company. The makers unveiled the thrilling teaser two weeks ago.
Filming began in Sri Lanka in November last year, followed by schedules in Azerbaijan and the United Arab Emirates. Other locations include London, Thailand, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, Delhi, and Kochi.
Patriot is editor-turned-director Mahesh Narayanan's biggest project yet. He is known for the films Take Off, CU Soon, Malik, and Ariyippu. He also debuted as a cinematographer with the Fahadh-starrer Malayankunju, for which he wrote the script.
