Alappuzha Gymkhana - TBA

Premalu star Naslen takes the lead in Khalid Rahman's sports comedy, which revolves around a group of plus-two students striving to earn grace marks through boxing competitions for their college applications.

Poduval, and Anagha Ravi, contributing to the film's popularity in the Malayalam cinema landscape.

Bazooka - TBA

Mammootty's action thriller Bazooka was released during Vishu in 2025.

The story follows an IPS officer, portrayed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, who is on a mission to apprehend those responsible for a series of heists in the state. Despite receiving a range of reviews from critics, the film is anticipated by audiences on OTT platforms.
