Actress Dushara Vijayan will be seen as a character named Lucy in the upcoming pan-Indian Malayalam action thriller 'Kattalan', the film's production house confirmed on 18 May 2026. The revelation is the third character unveil by Cubes Entertainments, ahead of the film's worldwide release on 28 May 2026.
Character Reveals So Far
Kabir Duhan Singh and Parth Tiwarii had their characters disclosed in earlier announcements — Singh plays a character called Eddt, while Tiwarii portrays Roby. Additionally, Raj Tirandasu, who earned wide recognition for his role in the pan-Indian blockbuster Pushpa, is set to play a character named Maari 95 in the film.
Behind the Camera
'Kattalan' is directed by Paul George, with the story penned by Paul George, Joby Varghese, and Jero Jacob — marking the writing debut of all three. The film's music is composed by Ravi Basrur, who came on board following an earlier announcement that Ajaneesh Loknath, known for Kantara 2, would score the film. Cinematography is handled by Renadive, editing by Shameer Muhammed, and costumes by Dhanya Balakrishnan.
The Cast and Production
The film stars Antony Varghese (popularly known as Pepe) and Rajisha Vijayan in the lead roles. The ensemble also includes Rapper Baby Jean, Telugu actor Sunil — known for his appearances in Pushpa: The Rise (2021), Pushpa 2 (2024), and Jailer (2023) — alongside veteran Malayalam actors Jagadeesh and Siddique in pivotal roles. Shareef Muhammed of Cubes Entertainments, the producer behind the blockbuster Marco, is backing the project.
Road to Release
Filming was wrapped up in February 2026. The production house had originally announced a 14 May release date before shifting it to 28 May 2026. Notably, the unit drew praise late last year when it publicly honoured the stuntmen on the film, releasing footage of a four-wheeler overturning during a stunt sequence as a tribute to their courage. The film is described as a gritty, high-stakes narrative exploring themes of power, betrayal, and deadly missions.
Point of View
From Ajaneesh Loknath to Ravi Basrur, which suggests creative recalibration at a late stage. With producer Shareef Muhammed riding the commercial credibility of 'Marco', the pressure on 'Kattalan' to deliver at the box office is real — and the multi-lingual ensemble cast signals that the makers are betting on wide territorial reach rather than a niche Malayalam audience.
