The first look poster of Kaathal, the upcoming Malayalam film starring Mammootty and Jyothika, was released on Saturday. 

The poster featured both actors sitting on the verandah of the house. While Jyothika looks elegant in a saree, Mammootty looks dashing in a mundu and shirt. 

Directed by Jeo Baby, the film is produced by Mammotty's home production banner Mammootty Kampany and Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films banner is distributing it. The film also stars Lalu Alex, Muthumani, Chinnu Chandni, Sudhi Kozhikode, Anagha Akku, Josi Sijo and Adarsh Sukumaran. The script is penned by Adarsh Sukumaran and Paulson Skaria.

Jeo Baby brings back his technical crew of The Great Indian Kitchen, consisting of cinematographer Salu K Thomas, editor Francies Louis and music director Mathews Pulickal, for Kaathal. Recently, a few stills of film sets went viral on social media. One of the photos is of a banner erected in the sets that featured Mammootty as a politician named Mathew Devassy, an election candidate from a left-wing party.
