Overview
- The film, first planned for April 23, will now open worldwide on May 1, 2026, after Mammootty announced the new date.
- India’s Central Board of Film Certification, which clears movies for release, reportedly flagged a villain’s name as too close to a politician’s son, while producer Anto Joseph says only minor tweaks were suggested.
- The team is executing the edits at Lal Media Studio in Kochi and is preparing to file the revised cut for certification.
- A dispute with the Film Exhibitors United Organisation of Kerala over revenue sharing was settled, with a standard 60:40 split in week one and small adjustments in week two clearing the path for screenings.
- Trade outlets predict a strong opening driven by the rare Mammootty–Mohanlal reunion and a star-heavy cast, though final numbers will hinge on certification and advance bookings.
