A Trailer That Packs a Punch
The pre-release trailer of Bazooka has taken social media by storm, generating excitement among fans with its powerful visuals and gripping one-liners. One line that stood out was Mammootty’s intense voiceover:
“If you encounter enemies on your chosen path, it simply means you’re heading in the right direction.”
The trailer showcases Mammootty in a never-seen-before ultra-stylish avatar, navigating a gritty world filled with gun battles, mind games, and fast-paced action. With intense sequences and cinematic flair, Bazooka is being hailed as Malayalam cinema’s first-ever game thriller — a genre that blends digital-era storytelling with traditional gangster drama elements.
Star-Studded Cast and Crew
Directed by debutant Dino Dennis, Bazooka features a stellar cast including acclaimed filmmaker-actor Gautham Vasudev Menon and Sidharth Bharathan in pivotal roles. The film promises an adrenaline-packed experience, diving deep into themes of vengeance, survival, and redemption.
The movie is produced by Vikram Mehra, Dolwin Kuriakose, Sidharth Anand Kumar, and Jinu V. Abraham, with Sahil S. Sharma serving as co-producer.
Behind the scenes, the film features a powerhouse technical crew — Midhun Mukundan helms the music, Nimish Ravi handles the cinematography, and editing is done by Nishadh Yusuf. The action sequences are choreographed by top stunt experts including Mahesh Mathew, PC Stunts, Vicky, and Mafia Sasi.
