Dulquer Salmaan has unveiled the first look poster for his upcoming Malayalam film, I'M GAME, showcasing a rugged and intense avatar. The poster, released on November 28, 2025, at 6 PM, has already generated significant buzz among fans eager to see the actor back in Malayalam cinema.
I'M GAME marks Dulquer Salmaan's return to Malayalam cinema after a two-year hiatus, following his 2023 film King of Kotha. Since then, he has been focusing on projects in other languages, including the recently released Tamil period thriller Kaantha. This new film, directed by Nahas Hidhayath of RDX fame, promises to be a high-octane action thriller.
The first look poster, released by the makers, features Dulquer Salmaan in a suited look, ready to take on a mission while holding a gun. In March 2025, Dulquer shared another poster, revealing a wounded hand gripping a playing card, hinting at the intense and thrilling story. The actor also added a caption that read, “The Game is On! #RollYourDice #ImGame”.
In a conversation with Baradwaj Rangan, Dulquer described his character in I'M GAME as "a very modern and cool character" and clarified that it is "not a retro-style film". He assured fans that they would enjoy the film, which is planned for a grand release in April 2026.
Nahas Hidhayath shared his enthusiasm for the project, stating, "I too am waiting to see Dulquer in theatres. We are trying to deliver exactly what the audience wants. I hope it comes out the same way. All of us are working hard". He also confirmed that the shoot is progressing with powerful action sequences and intense drama.
The film boasts a strong ensemble cast, including Antony Varghese, Tamil filmmaker Mysskin (making his Malayalam acting debut), Kathir, and Samyuktha Viswanathan. The screenplay is penned by Bilal Moidu, Ismail Aboobacker, and Sajeer Baba, with dialogues by Shahabas Rasheed and Aadarsh Sukumaran.
The technical crew includes cinematographer Jimshi Khalid, music director Jakes Bejoy, editor Chaman Chakko, and action choreographers Anbariv, known for their work in films like KGF, Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. Dulquer Salmaan is co-producing I'M GAME with Jom Varghese under the Wayfarer Films banner.
I'M GAME is anticipated to be an adrenaline-pumping action thriller with high drama. The film is currently being shot in Kochi and is expected to exceed audience expectations.
