The makers of the Tovino Thomas-starrer Identity has dropped the film's teaser on Wednesday. It is set for a January 2025 release, though an exact date is yet to be confirmed. Billed as a two-part action-packed thriller, the film is co-written and directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, the duo who made their directorial debut with Tovino's 2020 film Forensic.
The 1 minute 41-second teaser of Identity begins with Tovino's character engaged in a conversation with Trisha's character, who appears to be describing a face for Tovino to sketch. She mentions that the face resembles the shape of a pentagon, with the chin extending downward like a fifth corner. The teaser then cuts to a series of action-packed, stylised visuals featuring chases and stunts. Vinay Rai is seen portraying a police officer, though the teaser reveals little about the roles of Tovino and Trisha. The film promises to be an intriguing, high-octane actioner.
Identity also stars Mandira Bedi, Shammi Thilakan, Aju Varghese, Arjun Radhakrishnan, Archana Kavi, Gopika Ramesh, Aneesh Gopal, Giju John, and Dhruvan. The film's technical crew includes cinematographer Akhil George, editor Chaman Chakko, and music director Jakes Bejoy. Notably, the action sequences are choreographed by Yannick Ben and Phoenix Prabu, known for their work in the Tamil film Maaveeran (2023).
Identity is produced by Raju Malliath and Dr Roy CJ under the banners of Ragam Movies and Confident Group, respectively.
