Chennai, Aug 6 (NationPress) If the speculations circulating in the film industry hold any truth, director Jithin K Jose's eagerly anticipated film Kalamkaval, which stars Malayalam icon Mammootty alongside Vinayakan, is set to hit theaters on October 9 this year.

Industry insiders suggest that Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films, the film's distributor, has notified cinema owners about the planned release date of October 9.

However, an official confirmation regarding the release date has yet to be made public by the film's producers or by Wayfarer Films. It's notable that Mammootty, whose production company Mammootty Kampany is behind this project, previously shared the film's first look poster and title on his X account.

This film marks the seventh production from Mammootty Kampany, featuring the tagline, “The venom beneath.”

Earlier this year, the producers unveiled a second look poster of Mammootty from the film. While sharing it, Mammootty Kampany stated, "Some Faces Raise Questions… Not Answers... Presenting The Second Look Poster of #Kalamkaval Directed by Jithin K Jose."

'Kalamkaval', which completed filming in November of last year, has a story and screenplay crafted by Jithin K Jose and Jishnu Sreekumar. Editing is handled by Praveen Prabhakar, while Faisal Ali takes charge of cinematography. The film's music will be composed by the talented Mujeeb Majeed, and action sequences are choreographed by Action Santhosh.

The film has generated buzz due to its promise to present Mammootty in a role unlike any he has portrayed before.

There are already rumors suggesting that Mammootty will take on a character with grey shades. Nevertheless, this has not been officially validated as of now.
