On Thursday, actor Shane Nigam announced through social media that his 25th film will be an "intense action thriller" produced by Santhosh T Kuruvilla and Binu Alexander George under the banner of STK Frames. It is written and directed by debutant Unni Sivalingam, who previously worked as an assistant director in Saheed Arafath's Thankam (2023).
