The release dates of several upcoming Malayalam films have been doing the rounds on social media, promising a big box office clash, though these remain unconfirmed. Young star Naslen’s Mollywood Times is also a widely anticipated release of the year. And now the Premalu star has confirmed that his upcoming film, helmed by Abhinav Sunder Nayak, will hit theatres on May 15, 2026, clashing with Kattalan, which arrives in cinema a day earlier.
When will Naslen’s Mollywood Times release
Mollywood Times is a much-anticipated Malayalam film of 2026, starring Naslen in the lead role. The film will be released in theatres on May 15, a day after actor Antony Varghese Pepe's movie Kattalan releases. The makers of the Kattalan had earlier confirmed that Pepe’s film will hit cinemas on May 14. Kattalan is helmed by Paul George and is backed by Marco makers, and will also feature Kabir Duhan Singh and Dushara Vijayan.
Another film rumoured to hit theatres in the same week is Basil Joseph’s upcoming movie Athiradi, which also stars actor Tovino Thomas and actor-filmmaker Vineeth Sreenivasan. The film, which also marks Basil Joseph’s first production venture, was initially said to be an Onam release, but online trackers have been saying that the makers are eying an early release. If Athiradi too confirms the May 15 release, then it would be a clash of these three films at the Kerala box office
