Details are scarce, but Padakkuthira (The Military Line) marks the highly anticipated return of Fahadh Faasil to a full-fledged action role. Directed by Jithin K (of Kothu fame), the film is rumored to be a period political action drama set against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle in the Malabar region. If the rumors of Fahadh playing a rugged revolutionary are true, this could redefine his mass-market appeal.

Aashiq Abu returns to his raw, atmospheric filmmaking style with Rifle Club . Set in the 1960s in a hill station, this action drama revolves around a hunting club and a dangerous rivalry. Featuring a massive ensemble including veteran Vijayaraghavan, Lijomol Jose, and Bollywood’s Anurag Kashyap as the antagonist, the film promises bullet ballets, vintage guns, and stunning visuals. This is the perfect Christmas entertainer for those who loved Idukki Gold and Mayanadhi . (June 2025) Director: M.

From the directors of the slick thriller Forensic comes Identity . Tovino Thomas is reportedly playing a character with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Given Tovino’s recent run ( Minnal Murali , 2018 ), this is a safe bet for a stylish blockbuster.
