The much-anticipated Malayalam film I Am Kaathalan, starring young sensation Nazlen in the lead, is all set to make its way to OTT platforms. Fans who missed the theatrical release can now rejoice as the film will premiere on Manorama Max on January 17, 2025. Earlier reports had speculated a release on January 3, but the date was later postponed, much to the disappointment of Nazlen’s supporters. This OTT release is expected to give the movie a fresh boost, especially among audiences eagerly waiting to see the actor in action again.
Directed by Girish AD, I Am Kaathalan is an exciting departure from his earlier works. Known for his romantic-themed films, Girish AD shifts gears this time with a gripping story revolving around hacking. The unique storyline has been one of the major talking points, with many praising the bold attempt at tackling a lesser-explored subject in Malayalam cinema. The script, penned by Sajin Cherukayil, promises to offer something innovative for viewers when the film finally streams on OTT.
Nazlen, who has already proven his mettle with the blockbuster Premalu, is at the center of attention in I Am Kaathalan. Despite its modest performance in theaters, fans and industry insiders have lauded Nazlen’s performance and distinctive mannerisms, which have become a major highlight of the movie. With an ensemble cast featuring Lijomol Jose, Dileesh Pothan, Vineeth Vishwam, and others, the film has all the ingredients for a compelling OTT experience. The cinematography by Sharan Velayudhan and music by Siddharth Pradeep further elevate the film’s technical brilliance.
While the movie’s box office collection hasn’t been impressive, its release on Manorama Max is seen as an opportunity to reach a wider audience. Word of mouth and Nazlen’s growing fanbase are expected to give the movie a second life on OTT. With the hacking theme and strong performances, I Am Kaathalan is poised to attract tech enthusiasts and drama lovers alike, marking another milestone in Nazlen’s promising career.
