The pre-release teaser for Mammootty’s upcoming film Kalamkaval has dropped and it sets a dark, gripping tone that’s already sending waves through the Malayalam film world. The teaser opens with photographs of missing girls, instantly creating a sense of dread and mystery; it then shifts quickly to a police officer character (played by Vinayakan) digging into a disturbing case.
Mammootty’s entry in the teaser changes the mood entirely. Standing with a menacing grin and delivering the chilling line, “The greatest pleasure is when you kill a human,” his presence and performance hint at a deeply unsettling, morally ambiguous character.
The film directed by first-time director Jithin K. Jose is shaping up as a gritty crime-investigation thriller with psychological depth, promising a fierce clash between Mammootty’s shadowy figure and Vinayakan’s determined cop.
