Krishand has established himself as one of the most popular young Malayalam directors among moviegoers. This excitement has only grown with any new details about his next films. Online rumours about the young director's upcoming project have appeared in the interim.
The director clarified the online rumours regarding his upcoming movie, which stars Tovino Thomas, to OTTplay. According to him, the ARM star will be the main character in his next film, which he says would shortly start production. "It is a love story, but it's not a usual one," he told OTTplay. According to reports, Darshana Rajendran is expected to play the female lead in this untitled project, which is scheduled to start production in June or July of 2026. Further details are expected to be revealed by the makers in the coming days.
It's interesting to note that these two actors collaborated on films like Dear Friend, Virus, and Mayaanadhi. Although Tovino and Krishand are working together for the first time, the actress had significant roles in the director's previous works, Purusha Pretham and The Chronicles of the 4.5 Gang. Both these film and web series are available for streaming on Sony LIV and OTTplay Premium.

The makers have set February 27, 2026 as the release date for this science fiction fantasy film. The main actors in this movie are Jagadish, Ann Salem, Vishnu Agasthya, Rajisha Vijayan, and Niranj Maniyanpillai Raju. Krishand also directed Masthishka Maranam's editing as well as wrote the screenplay. The movie takes place in a dystopian future in Kochi. Masthishka Maranam is likely to appeal to both Krishand's moviegoers and those who occasionally enjoy a distinctive film in theatres.
Sangarsha Ghadana, Krishand's most recent film, is now streaming on Sun NXT and OTTplay Premium. The director's previous films, such as Purusha Pretham and Aavasavyuham, are still accessible to view on Sony LIV and OTTplay Premium. The same OTT platforms have his recent gangster-based Malayalam web series, Sambhavavivaranam Nalara Sangham, which won acclaim from viewers online.
