A police drama starring Malayalam actor Shane Nigam was revealed last year. It has been revealed that Dridam will shortly be released in theatres. Here's more details about it. 

When is Shane Nigam's Dridam likely to release?

The movie is reportedly scheduled to open in theatres in March. There are currently no other Malayalam films planned for release in the same month. In the upcoming days, Dridam's release date is anticipated to be established. The motion poster shows Shane's character SI Vijay Radhakrishnan taking charge in a new station in a small town named Kuzhinilam. It also shows a murder case that leads to several issues posing a problem for Vijay in this area, hinting at an intriguing investigation thriller.

The poster implies that after the Corona Papers and Vela, Shane will reappear as a powerful law enforcement official. Corona Papers are streaming on JioHotstar and OTTplay Premium. The first glimpse of Shane Nigam as a tough cop has also been released by the makers along with the title announcement. "Every investigation begins with a revelation," the social media post's caption assured viewers that a tense investigation movie was in the works. Balti and Haal were Shane's most recent releases. Both are not yet accessible on streaming platforms.

Who are in the cast and crew of Dridam?

The movie has also received support from director Jeethu Joseph, who is well-known for his thrillers such as Drishyam, 12th Man and others. Most of these flicks are also accessible on OTTplay Premium. Interestingly, Martin, the film's director, has already collaborated with Jeethu Joseph and is making his film debut with Dridam.
