Director Dijo Jose Antony has officially locked the theatrical release of his upcoming film Pallichattambi, starring Tovino Thomas in the lead. The action driven period drama is set to hit theatres on April 9, marking an important moment for both the filmmaker and its star, who continue to explore ambitious narrative spaces within mainstream Malayalam cinema. Mounted on a larger canvas, Pallichattambi went on floors in February 2025 and has been positioned as a film that leans heavily into action and historical flavour.
