‘I, Nobody’: Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Next Release Finalised, To Arrive on July 9

Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran has confirmed that his film I, Nobody will release on July 9. This is ahead of his mega-budget action film Khalifa, which is being slotted for an Onam release in August.

I, Nobody is directed by Nissam Bhasheer, who had previously directed Mammootty’s Rorsharch and Asif Ali’s Kettiyollaanu Ente Maalakha. The film, said to be a heist thriller, also stars Parvathy Thiruvothu. The cast also includes Hakkim Shahjahan, Ashokan, Vijayaraghavan, Madhupal, Shankar Ramakrishnan, Nakshathra, Aira and Nishanth Sagar.

Prithviraj posted a new poster of the film on Instagram with the new release dates of the film. The announcement has started speculation of whether his film Khalifa will hit screens on the already crowded Onam festival release window, which has films like Dulquer Salmaan’s I’m Game and Nivin Pauly’s Girish AD film Bethlehem Kundumba Unit lined up for release.

I, Nobody is produced by Supriya Menon, Mukesh R. Mehta, and CV Sarathi under the banners of Prithviraj Productions and E4 Experiments. The film is written by Sameer Abdul. The cinematography is by Dinesh Purushothaman, while Ramees MB is the editor.

An 80-second teaser of the film hints at a thriller that begins with Prithviraj’s character Rajeevan, a ‘nobody’, faking a bank heist using the help of three masked robbers. The amount being stolen is ₹17 crore and how Rajeevan gets away with crime could be the basis of the plot. Parvathi plays his wife, and the couple have a daughter, as glimpsed in the trailer.

A day ago, Prithviraj confirmed the entry of Dharma Productions into the Malayalam industry with Rahul Sadasivan’s Odiyan. In a press note, he expressed, “The Odiyan is not just a myth, it is a piece of Kerala's identity, a legend that has travelled through generations and continues to hold a powerful place in our cultural consciousness. Bringing this story to the screen in a way that honours its mythology and the culture it comes from, has been a pursuit very close to my heart.”
