Malayalam superstar Dulquer Salmaan has officially dropped the first look poster for his highly anticipated action thriller, I’m Game, marking his 40th lead role and a stylish comeback to Malayalam cinema after a short hiatus. The post, shared on his social media, was captioned: "H O M E C O M I N G, @NAHASKh1 @VarghesePepe @am_kathir @iamSandy_Off @DirectorMysskin @samyukthav @anbariv @jakes_bejoy @ImGameMovie @DQsWayfarerFilm #DulquerSalmaan #NahasHidayath #AntonyVarghese #ImGameFirstLook #dQ40 #IamGame #WayfarerFilms"
The poster immediately grabs attention with Dulquer in a pinstripe suit, gripping a gun while seated on a red chair in a neon-lit casino, surrounded by floating cash and playing cards. The imagery hints at a story packed with high-stakes intrigue, danger, and psychological tension.
Directed by Nahas Hidayath, known for the hit action film RDX, the movie boasts a pan-Indian ensemble cast including Antony Varghese, Tamil filmmaker-actor Mysskin in his Malayalam debut as the antagonist, and Kathir. Samyuktha and acclaimed choreographer duo Anbariv also contribute to the project, ensuring a sleek, visually striking action experience.
Produced under Dulquer’s banner, Wayfarer Films, I’m Game is planned for release in five languages—Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada in April 2026, highlighting the star’s ambitions to expand his footprint across Indian cinema.
Hints from the poster suggest the film revolves around themes of chance, strategy, and danger, with a wounded hand clutching a playing card symbolizing the high-risk gambles at the heart of the story. Interestingly, cricket is reportedly integrated into the narrative, adding a uniquely local flavor to this high-octane thriller.
With its stylish visual language, ensemble cast, and pan-Indian ambitions, I’m Game positions Dulquer Salmaan for another career-defining performance and promises to be a must-watch action spectacle for 2026.
