Premalu director Girish AD’s new movie, I Am Kathalan, is all set for August release. Filmmaker Girish AD shared this update on his social media handles.
While announcing the news about the release of I Am Kathalan, Girish also shared a poster where Naslen is seen in a CCTV camera’s frame, hinting that the movie has an interesting and intriguing plot.
I Am Kathalan will star Naslen and newcomer Anishma Anilkumar in the lead roles. Girish wrapped it up much before Premalu. However, the Malayalam director decided to release it after Premalu’s release.
The screenplay for I Am Kathalan was written by actor Sajin Cherukayil. He also plays a major role in the film. Sajin earlier teamed up with Girish for Thanneer Mathan Dinangal (2019) and Super Sharanya (2022).
I Am Kathalan is expected to be a family entertainer with some thrilling elements. Sources say the director adopted a different style for this film.
In an interview, Sajin said I Am Kathalan would be a dark thriller with a lot of humour and surprises in the second half.
During the promotions of Premalu, Girish revealed that I Am Kathalan deals with cyber crimes and is different from the genres he tried earlier.
The film will reunite Girish with Naslen after Thaneer Mathan Dinangal, Super Sharanya, and Premalu. It also casts Dileesh Pothan, Lijomol Jose, Vineeth Viswam, TG Ravi, and Vineeth Vasudevan in pivotal roles.
I Am Kathalan has music by Sidhartha Pradeep and editing by Akash Joseph Varghese. The cinematography is handled by Sharan Velayudhan. Dr Paul Varghese, Krishnamoorthy, and Tinu Thomas produced it.
Girish AD’s Premalu was a blockbuster and earned over ₹130 crore at the global box office. The Tamil and Telugu dubbed versions, too, were hits.
Premalu was lauded for its plot and Naslen and Mamitha Baiju’s performances. Following the tremendous success, the makers announced the second part, Premalu 2.
