Chennai, Jan 13 The makers of director Paul George's pan-Indian Malayalam film 'Kattalan', featuring actor Antony Varghese (Pepe) in the lead, have now announced that their film will hit screens on May 14 this year.
Cube Entertainments, the production house producing the film, took to its Instagram stories section to make the announcement. It wrote, "In cinemas worldwide May 14."
It may be recalled that the unit of the film had wrapped up its Vagamon schedule only recently.
Sharing a BTS video that contained clips of the crew at work in Vagamon, the production house had, a couple of days earlier, said, "Vagamon schedule wrap up. Kattalan teaser dropping on Jan 16,2026! A Cubes International Initiative."
It may be recalled that the production house had, late last year, paid tribute to the stuntmen who had worked on the film.
The production house had then released the footage of a four-wheeler turning turtle during the filming of a stunt sequence and offered their salutations to brave stuntmen, whose courage enabled film units to shoot such sequences.
The film has triggered huge interest in fans and film buffs. For the unaware, producer Shareef Muhammed of Cubes Entertainments, best known for making the blockbuster 'Marco', is back with his next ambitious venture titled 'Kattalan', a high-octane pan-Indian action thriller that is being directed by Paul George.
