Fans and moviegoers have been anticipating Mammootty's next outstanding performance ever since the news of Kalamkaval was announced. Reports have hinted at the inclusion of some well-known actors in this thriller, despite the fact that the film's producers have not disclosed much about the remaining members of the cast.
Dulquer Salmaan among the cast of Kalamkaval
In this highly-anticipated movie, Dulquer Salmaan is reportedly portraying the younger version of his father and Malayalam megastar Mammootty's character Cynaide Mohan, also known as Mohankumar. Dulquer has not yet provided an update on this as he is currently occupied with promoting and enjoying the success of his most recent film, Lokah: Chapter 1-Chandra. He made a brief appearance in this fantasy thriller, which is anticipated to feature a significant role for Mammootty's character "Moothon" in its subsequent parts.
While it was previously confirmed that Mammootty is playing a negative role alongside Vinayakan, the cast of Kalamkaval has also been reported to include Meera Jasmine, Gibin Gopinath, Gayathri Arun, Rajisha Vijayan, and RJ Sooraj. The news of this cast has only increased the excitement for the film in theatres.
Kalamkaval to release in October
The makers have not confirmed the thriller's release date, but it is anticipated to happen in early October. An update of this is expected in the coming days. The teaser for Kalamkaval, directed by Jithin K Jose was released recently along with the theatrical premiere of Lokah. The film is noteworthy because it is Mammootty's triumphant comeback to the big screen after the veteran actor's absence due to health concerns.
In the teaser, Vinayakan is shown investigating a scooter-jeep collision as a police officer along with his team. After then, the preview switches to Mammootty standing before a roadside store. The megastar while smoking a cigarette lifts his sunglasses and stares straight into the camera with a mischievous smirk. An edgy thriller is promised by the menacing tone and dangerous locations.
