The makers of the upcoming Malayalam film Kathanar have unveiled the teaser trailer, offering a glimpse into its mythological world. The film has been one of the most anticipated projects since its announcement. Kathanar, popularly known as Kadamattathu Kathanar, is widely considered a legendary or mythological figure rooted in 9th-century Kerala folklore rather than a strictly documented historical person. While he is associated with the ancient Kadamattom Church, the tales of his magical powers, sorcery, and miracles are largely part of folklore, though a priest named Paulose is believed to have inspired the legends. Kathanar teaser trailer On Tuesday, the makers of the Jayasurya and Anushka Shetty-starrer unveiled the teaser trailer. Directed by Rojin Thomas, the video offers a glimpse of the scale at which the story has been envisioned for the big screen. The two-minute-long teaser introduces the first looks of several characters, including Jayasurya as Kathanar. Anushka Shetty plays the popular ghost Neeli (who was also portrayed by Kalyani Priyadarshan in Lokah). Jayasurya and Anushka Shetty’s looks and characters In August last year, marking Jayasurya’s birthday, the makers unveiled his first look from the film, raising excitement among fans. The production house Sree Gokulam Movies shared the poster on its Instagram page on August 31. Releasing the poster, the team wrote, “Not the tale you know, but the one rewritten by time. An epic reborn for a new era. Happy Birthday, dear Jayasurya—the face of our wild sorcerer, Kathanar.” Actress Anushka Shetty, who plays one of the leads, also wished Jayasurya on the occasion. A month later, in November, the makers introduced her character Nila (likely inspired by Neeli). About the excitement around Kathanar The film, first announced in 2023, has generated significant interest among fans and film enthusiasts. One major reason is the makers’ claim that the film will feature technology never before used in Indian cinema. At the time of the launch, the makers stated that Kathanar would utilise advanced virtual production techniques, including Tech-Viz, Stunt-Viz, and Post-Viz workflows. They also revealed the use of full-body 3D scans through a 200-DSLR photogrammetry rig and Vicon-based infrared motion capture technology. They further noted that Hollywood films like The Jungle Book and The Lion King pioneered similar technologies, and expressed excitement about bringing such innovations to Malayalam cinema. Directed by Rojin Thomas, Kathanar is produced by Gokulam Gopalan and co-produced by VC Praveen and Baiju Gopalan. Written by R Ramanand, the film features cinematography by Neil D'Cunha and music by Rahul Subrahmanian.

The body has also demanded a high-level, time-bound judicial inquiry into the incident to determine accountability. “AICWA will not remain silent,” the statement asserted, adding that the organisation is committed to ensuring justice for the late actor and his family. Apart from legal proceedings, the association has sought financial compensation of Rs 1 crore for Banerjee’s family, to be recovered from the production entities involved. It has further called for the blacklisting of the producers, production house, and the channel linked to the show, demanding a complete ban on their operations until strict safety compliance measures are enforced. All about the actor's demise According to reports, the incident occurred while Banerjee was filming a sequence in knee-deep water with a co-actor when both reportedly slipped into a ditch. While the co-actor survived, Banerjee could not be saved despite being rushed to a nearby hospital. The tragedy has sent shockwaves across the entertainment fraternity, with several actors and industry members demanding a thorough investigation. AICWA has also appealed to government authorities to intervene swiftly and ensure that such incidents do not recur, emphasising the urgent need for stricter safety enforcement on film and television sets.
