CHENNAI, India — The makers of director Dijo Jose Antony’s upcoming Malayalam action entertainer “Pallichattambi” on Wednesday released “Kaattuchembakam,” the first single from the film, drawing an enthusiastic response from fans and film lovers.
Actor Tovino Thomas shared the song on his social media, describing it as a moment “when love bloomed,” and confirmed that the film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on April 9, 2026.
The romantic track, picturised on Tovino Thomas and Kayadu Lohar, has been composed by Jakes Bejoy. The song features lyrics by Kaithapram and is sung by Vishal Mishra and Aavani Malhar.
The release of the single comes shortly after the film’s director announced the completion of shooting. Sharing images from various filming locations, Dijo Jose Antony said the project had wrapped after an extensive schedule that began in Thodupuzha and concluded with patchwork shoots across multiple states. He described the film as a long and rewarding journey and reiterated its April 9, 2026, release date.
