Bazooka is highly anticipated for several reasons, chief among them being Mammootty’s stellar performance and the involvement of ace director Gautham Vasudev Menon
Director Deeno Dennis’s much-awaited action thriller, Bazooka, starring Malayalam superstar Mammootty in the lead, is set to hit screens worldwide on April 10, 2025. The film, which was initially slated for a Valentine’s Day release, has generated significant buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting the debut of this high-octane, gangster drama.
Although the release was pushed back from February 14, the makers had kept the new release date under wraps until Mammootty himself revealed it on his X (formerly Twitter) timeline. “#Bazooka in Cinemas Worldwide from April 10, 2025 #BazookaFromApril10,” the actor shared, much to the delight of his fans.
Bazooka is highly anticipated for several reasons, chief among them being Mammootty’s stellar performance and the involvement of ace director Gautham Vasudev Menon. Menon, who is known for his brilliant direction in films like Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and Neethaane En Ponvasantham, is also acting in the film. He plays Benjamin, an ACP from Cochin city, who is on a mission to hunt down some of the most dangerous criminals. Menon’s portrayal of a tough cop in this gangster drama is expected to be one of the film’s major highlights.
The trailer, which was released earlier this year, provides a glimpse into the action-packed world of Bazooka. The teaser shows Benjamin, played by Menon, and his partner in crime-fighting, strategically watching gangsters battle it out. The gritty trailer is filled with tense moments and high-stakes action, setting the stage for a thrilling cinematic experience. The voiceover in the trailer teases that Bazooka is not just a battle of good versus evil, but a game where the ultimate goal is salvation.
While Menon’s character of Benjamin is getting a lot of attention, the trailer also provides a peek into Mammootty’s role, though the details remain mysterious. A scene where Menon asks Mammootty, “What is your role in this story?” and Mammootty’s reply, “There is no role that I haven’t done, brother,” only heightens the intrigue surrounding his character. This dialogue suggests that Mammootty’s role will be multifaceted and dynamic, leaving audiences eager to discover how he fits into the larger narrative.
Additionally, the film boasts a solid supporting cast, including Shine Tom Chacko, who plays Franco Salvatore, a crucial character in the film’s storyline. The announcement of Chacko’s involvement, along with a picture of his look from the movie, further piqued the excitement of fans. Chacko’s character adds another layer of complexity to the already tense narrative, and his interactions with Mammootty’s and Menon’s characters are expected to be key to the film’s plot development.
In yet another exciting reveal, the makers recently announced that actress Divya Pillai would be playing the role of Annie Benjamin, adding a female lead to this predominantly male-driven narrative. The presence of Pillai is likely to bring an interesting dynamic to the story, and her character is expected to play a significant role in the unfolding events of the film.
The film has been produced by Vikram Mehra, Sidharth Anand Kumar, Dolwin Kuriakose, Jinu V Abhraham, and co-produced by Sahil S Sharma. The action-packed drama features music by Midhun Mukundan and cinematography by Nimish Ravi. The film’s editing has been handled by Nishadh Yusuf, while the stunts are choreographed by Mahesh Mathew, Vicky, PC Stunts, and Mafia Sasi. The attention to detail in the film’s action sequences is expected to be one of its standout features.
Bazooka is shaping up to be an action extravaganza with a gripping storyline, strong performances, and high-impact action sequences. As one of the most anticipated films of the year, it promises to deliver a thrilling experience for audiences who love intense, high-stakes dramas. With Mammootty leading the charge, supported by the talented Gautham Menon and an ensemble cast, Bazooka is poised to be a box-office hit.
Mammootty’s fans, especially those who enjoyed his previous collaborations with Menon, are eagerly awaiting this explosive reunion on-screen. Moreover, the film’s genre, focusing on a hard-hitting battle between good and evil, is sure to attract action movie enthusiasts.
With less than a week to go before its release, Bazooka is expected to make a massive impact at the box office. The collaboration between some of the most talented names in the industry, both in front of and behind the camera, promises an unforgettable cinematic experience.
Bazooka will be released in cinemas worldwide on April 10, 2025, and is expected to be one of the major action films of the year, drawing in fans of both Mammootty and Gautham Menon.
