Fresh off the roaring success of Marco, which rumbled its way across India and beyond, producer Shareef Muhammed of Cubes Entertainments is back with another beast of a film – Kattalan. This pan-Indian action thriller stars the ever-intense Antony Varghese (aka Pepe) and is helmed by Paul George, who clearly isn’t here to play nice.
Shareef ropes in Kantara 2’s sonic wizard Ajaneesh Loknath to crank up the chaos. Known for crafting soundscapes that crawl under your skin, Ajaneesh’s entry officially sends expectations for Kattalan into the stratosphere.
A visual gut-punch gives off the poster. Pepe soaked in rain, standing like a storm incarnate, surrounded by fallen bodies and elephant tusks. It’s brutal! Add to that a title design by Ident Labs – the folks who gave fonts their own fanbase with Jailer, Leo, Jawan, and Coolie.
With Cubes Entertainments doubling down on cinematic scale, and Pepe thriving in roles that redefine ‘intensity,’ Kattalan is shaping up to be a full-blown spectacle. If Marco opened the gates, Kattalan might just break them down.
