Mollywood Megastar Mammootty headlined three films as the main lead in 2025 and appeared in a silent cameo in the biggest Malayalam hit, Lokah. Out of his three lead roles, he achieved the most fame and success with Kalamkaval, which was released in cinemas on December 5, 2025.
The movie showcased him in a negative role and went on to collect more than Rs. 83 crore gross, emerging as the star’s most successful venture of the year.
The film is currently in the news as Sony LIV has confirmed its OTT arrival. Without revealing an exact date, the streaming platform stated that the movie will be released digitally in January 2026. They also made it clear that it will be available in Telugu, Hindi, and Tamil audio versions. It will most probably be out on January 2, 2026, but we need to wait and see if that date is correct.
Directed by debutant Jithin K. Jose, the crime thriller features Vinayakan, Rajisha Vijayan, Sruthi Ramachandran, and others in prominent roles. Mammootty produced the film under his home banner, Mammootty Kampany, and Mujeeb Majeed handled the music.
