First release of Jayasurya-Rojin Thomas' "Kathanar"
The film "Kathanar" was produced by Gokulam Gopalan Sree Gokulam Movies brand
The chief associate directors of the film are Gopesh Sarath and Shaalam. The movie was co-produced by VC Praveen and Baiju Gopalan, and the executive producer is Krishnamoorthy.
The first trailer for the high-profile movie Kathanar, which was produced by Gokulam Gopalan under the Sree Gokulam Movies label, was unveiled on 31 August 2025. Actor Jayasurya's birthday coincided with the premiere of the movie's first look. According to the first impression, the movie promises to be a cosmic cinematic experience that elevates Malayalam cinema to a new level. The movie's preview video, which was released earlier, was well-received by viewers. The film's initial appearance and trailer suggest that Kathanar will emerge as Jayasurya's most compelling character.
The story of Kadamattathu Kathanar, a Keralan priest who was thought to possess supernatural abilities, served as the inspiration for the movie. The first glance, however, also suggests that Kathanar's persona has been developed in this movie very differently from the tales we have been hearing and watching for a very long time. Following Indrans' National Award-winning film Home, Rojin Thomas also directed Kathanar. Modern technology, such as virtual production, was used in the film's creation.
Prabhu Deva joined Jayasurya's Kathanar, helmed by Rojin Thomas, on 16 March 2024. The actor who reached the set was welcomed by the crew members. "Prabhu Deva is coming for a Malayalam film. It is a matter of happiness. He has been a part of many films, and it is a pleasure and excitement for him is act in this film. After 'Urumi' was released in 2011, Prabhu Deva's next Malayalam film is Katanaar. We consider it a great privilege to be able to work with him. We are now trying to create a visual feast for the audience through Katanaar. We hope that it will be a film that will amaze the audience," said Krishnamurthy, executive producer of Sri Gokulam Movies.
The news of Anushka Shetty joining the film was released by the crew last day. Anushka Shetty's first Malayalam movie is 'Kathanar'. The two-minute-long glimpse video of the film, which is being shot using virtual production technology, has been well-received. It is a Brahmandum film releasing in more than thirty languages.
The incredible first-look video for the movie "Kathanar: The Wild Sorcerer" was released on 31 August 2023, sparking fascinating comments about the film on social media. In the interim, a video introducing the movie's heroine has been published by the crew. Anushka Shetty, a stunning South Indian actress who won over audiences with her performances as Rudrama Devi and Devasena, will portray the title role. The actor, who has been in the movie business for more than 15 years, also makes his debut in Malayalam. The actor may be seen joining the movie in the footage.
The initial trailers for the film, which is expected to set new standards in Indian cinema, have piqued viewers' interest. The film will be a fantastic visual treat with fantasy, action, horror, and exciting moments, according to the preview video that was released recently. One of the most eagerly anticipated upcoming Malayalam films is "Kathanar".
Vijay Babu, under the banner Friday Film House, announced the movie, and later Gokulam Gopalan of Sree Gokulam Movie took up the production of the movie. The biggest budget movie in Mollywood, the first Malayalam film made entirely in virtual production technology used in foreign films such as The Jungle Book and The Lion King. Senthil Nathan heads the virtual production, and Vishnu Raj is the CGI head. The shooting of the film Kathanar is going on in Chennai, Rome, and Kochi.
The music for the film 'Kathanar' is composed by Rahul Subrahmanian from the lyrics of Arun Alat, Vinayak Sasikumar, and Sachin S Kumar.
