The Malayalam film industry has been abuzz with anticipation as Mohanlal unveiled Thaliromale, the first song from Thudakkam, a forthcoming adventure thriller directed by Jude Anthany Joseph. The track, composed by Jakes Bejoy and sung by the legendary K. S. Chithra, is a lyrical, emotionally rich piece that has already struck a chord with audiences. Written by Joe Paul, the song’s delicate orchestration and Chithra’s timeless voice provide a glimpse into the film’s emotional landscape, setting the stage for what promises to be a compelling cinematic experience.

Thudakkam, produced by Antony Perumbavoor under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas, is scheduled for release on 7 August 2026. The film introduces Vismaya Mohanlal, daughter of Mohanlal, in her acting debut, alongside Aashish Joe Antony, son of the producer. This double debut has added an extra layer of intrigue to the project, with fans eager to see how the newcomers fare under Jude Anthany Joseph’s direction. Known for his acclaimed work on 2018, Joseph has built a reputation for blending human drama with large-scale storytelling, and Thudakkam appears poised to continue that tradition.

The cast features an impressive line-up of seasoned performers, including Sai Kumar, Manoj K. Jayan, Ganesh Kumar and Chippy Ranjith, with Mohanlal himself making a guest appearance. The technical crew is equally strong, with cinematography by Jomon T. John and Akhil George, editing by Chaman Chakko, and sound design by Vishnu Govind.
