The Malayalam film industry is abuzz as Dulquer Salmaan kickstarts his much-anticipated 40th film, titled “I Am Game,” with a traditional pooja ceremony held in Thiruvananthapuram. Directed by Nahas Hidayath, who rose to fame with his blockbuster action film RDX, this marks the beginning of a project that is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about films of 2025. Produced under Wayfarer Films, Dulquer’s own production banner, I Am Game is reportedly his biggest Malayalam film to date in terms of scale, budget, and ensemble cast. The pooja ceremony, held at the film’s primary shooting location, was attended by core cast and crew including acclaimed Malayalam actor Antony Varghese, and celebrated Tamil filmmaker-actor Mysskin, who will be seen playing a pivotal role.

Significantly, this film marks Mysskin’s acting debut in Malayalam cinema, adding a cross-industry appeal to the project. Known for his distinct style and impactful performances in Tamil films, Mysskin's presence in I Am Game has generated immense excitement among both Malayalam and Tamil film fans. The story for I Am Game has been crafted by Sajeer Baba, Ismail Abubacker, and Bilal Moidu, with dialogues penned by Aadharsh Sukumaran and Shahabas Rasheed. The narrative is expected to combine intense action with deep emotional layers, a format that has gained popularity among audiences in recent years.

The film’s first schedule has already begun in Thiruvananthapuram, and the production team is working on creating large-scale action sequences that promise to push the boundaries of Malayalam cinema. With a unique visual style and an ensemble cast, I Am Game is poised to deliver a high-octane cinematic experience. The official title poster for the film, which was unveiled recently, went viral across social media platforms. Its edgy design and bold typography signaled the tone of the filmgritty, modern, and action-packed. Fans and industry insiders were quick to speculate that I Am Game may represent a genre shift for Dulquer, who is known for his versatile filmography across Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu industries.
Director Nahas Hidayath, riding high on the success of RDX, is aiming to make I Am Game his next big milestone. Industry sources suggest that the film will feature adrenaline-pumping action, stylized set pieces, and strong performances elements that Nahas is fast becoming known for.

Dulquer Salmaan’s continued evolution as both an actor and producer is reflected in this ambitious project. While he has previously delivered hits in both mainstream and experimental formats, I Am Game could become a defining film in his career, particularly in the Malayalam industry where expectations for fresh, big-budget storytelling continue to grow.
With its star-studded lineup, fresh direction, and crossover appeal, I Am Game is already being counted among the top must-watch films of the upcoming year. As shooting progresses, more announcements about additional cast members, music director, and theatrical release timeline are expected in the coming weeks. Stay tuned as I Am Game continues filming and sets the stage for one of the biggest cinematic spectacles Malayalam cinema has ever seen.
