Taking to his X timeline to share pictures of the unit on the last day of shooting, Dulquer wrote, "Wrap day smiles say it all. #ImGame shoot done & dusted, couldn't be happier! Grateful for this journey… see you all on August 20."

It may be recalled that in February this year, the makers of the film had marked actor Dulquer Salmaan's completion of 14 years as an actor by releasing a poster of his from the film.

Dulquer Salmaan had then taken to his Instagram page to pen a post of gratitude. He had said, "Today marks 14 years of my journey as an actor. Thank you, each and every one of you ! For the endless love. For the encouragement. For a place in your hearts. To mark this milestone sharing a poster from my next ! #ImGame. Coming to Cinemas near you this Onam."

It may be recalled that the makers of the film had only in December last year welcomed actress Kayadu Lohar onboard the unit of the film.

Kayadu Lohar is best known for her performance in director Ashwath Marimuthu's Tamil film 'Dragon', in which she played one of the female leads. More recently, she was seen in the Malayalam film Pallichattambi with Tovino Thomas.

More about I'm Game

The film has triggered huge interest in fans and film buffs ever since the makers released the first look poster of Dulquer Salmaan in the film. The first look poster had Dulquer striking a stylish pose with a pistol in his hand.

I'm Game marks director Nahas Hidayath's next venture after the blockbuster hit RDX. Posters featuring the other lead actors too have been released by the makers. The movie has quickly become one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

It may be recalled that the film officially went on floors on May 3 last year. Actors Antony Varghese, Mysskin, Kathir, Parth Thiwari, and Tamil actress Samyuktha Viswanathan play pivotal roles in the project.

Produced by Dulquer Salmaan along with Jom Verghese, I'm Game has triggered immense interest as this will mark Dulquer's return to Malayalam cinema. The story of 'I'm Game', which happens to be Dulquer's 40th film, is by Nahas Hidhayath himself while its screenplay is by Sajeer Baba, Bilal Moidu and Ismail Aboobacker.
