Cinema VinesThe highly anticipated trailer for "Thudakkam" has finally been released, marking the film debut of Vismaya Mohanlal, daughter of Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. The one‑and‑a‑half‑minute promo, directed by Jude Anthany Joseph, opens with a tranquil view of a hill village, showcasing Vismaya’s character Meenu living a peaceful life with her father, played by Sai Kumar. The serene setting mirrors the recent song from the movie, which highlighted Meenu’s everyday joy amid Kerala’s lush landscapes.
However, the tone shifts abruptly as the trailer introduces a darker undercurrent. Unidentified intruders descend on the family home, thrusting Meenu and her father into a harrowing situation that hints at a suspense‑filled narrative. The teaser keeps the plot largely mysterious, offering just enough intrigue to spark curiosity ahead of the film’s theatrical release on August 7.
The promo also gives a brief glimpse of Mohanlal himself, who appears in a pivotal role, and introduces Ashish Joe Antony as the second lead. "Thudakkam" is Jude Anthany Joseph’s first directorial effort since the 2018 blockbuster, and it is the 37th production of Aashirvad Cinemas, produced by Antony Perumbavoor. The ensemble cast includes Dinesh Prabhakar, Jaffer Idukki, Kottayam Ramesh, Jibin Gopinath, Sivadas Kannur, Jeys Jose, Jayakurup, Ashwini Vijayan, and T. G. Ravi in key roles.
Lineesh Nellickal, Akhil Krishna, and Jude Anthany Joseph have penned the screenplay, while Jakes Bejoy composes the music. Cinematography is handled by Akhil George and Jomon T. John, and the film is executive produced by Dr. Emil Vincent and Dr. Aneesha Antony. Vismaya’s debut has been eagerly awaited, especially after her brother Pranav Mohanlal’s successful entry into Malayalam cinema.
