Girish AD on I Am Kathalan

Directed by popular filmmaker Girish AD, the upcoming film is not a romantic comedy like his previous works. The director revealed that the new film will include elements of the crime thriller genre and will have a serious tone, unlike his earlier films. “Although it ventures into the thriller space, it's not what I would call a 'dark thriller.' It's a story told predominantly through humor and packs some surprises for the latter half,” the director explained. 

This movie also marks the director’s fourth collaboration with Naslen, following their previous blockbuster hits such as Thanneermathan Dinangal, Super Sharanya, and Premalu.

On the technical front, Sajin Cherukayil is penning the screenplay, while cinematography and editing are handled by Sharan Velayudhan and Akash Joseph Varghese, respectively.
