Dulquer Salmaan’s much-awaited I’m Game, which has been positioned as the actor’s homecoming to Malayalam cinema, may not arrive in theatres during the Onam 2026 festive season as planned. The film was earlier scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 20, but a new report suggests that the release could be postponed because of delays in post-production. The makers, however, have not officially confirmed any change in the release date.

Dulquer Salmaan's I'm Game sees yet another delay

According to a report by Let’s Cinema, ongoing post-production work has reportedly affected the film’s August 20 release plan. If the postponement goes ahead, I’m Game could step out of the crowded Onam release race and avoid a potential box-office clash with other major Malayalam films, including Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Khalifa: Part 1 and Nivin Pauly’s Bethlehem Kudumba Unit.
