About Padakkalam Movie

Padakkalam (Malayalam: പടക്കളം) is an upcoming Malayalam fantasy drama film directed by debutant Manu Swaraj and written by Nithin C Babu. This much-anticipated movie brings together a talented cast, including Suraj Venjaramoodu, Sharafudheen, Ishan Shoukath, Pooja Mohanraj, and Niranjana Anoop. Produced by Vijay Babu, Yogi G. Raj, and Vijay Subramaniam under the banner of Friday Film House in association with 29 September Works, Padakkalam is all set to hit the big screen on May 2, 2025.

Friday Film House, known for producing quality Malayalam films for the past decade, is backing this project. With a track record of over twenty successful films, the production house has introduced 16 new directors through its journey. Manu Swaraj, who has been working as an associate director for the past eight years and has directed several short films in Bengaluru, is the latest talent to make his directorial debut under this banner.

The film’s official announcement was made during a press conference in Kochi, attended by various crew members. The pooja ceremony took place at the famous Chottanikkara temple in Ernakulam. Padakkalam is primarily set in a college, with Amal Jyothi Engineering College serving as the main backdrop. The shooting commenced on September 10, 2024, and was completed in seventy days across two schedules, all within the campus premises. According to producer Vijay Babu, almost ninety percent of the film’s scenes will be shot there.

Padakkalam is not just another campus film; it aims to break many stereotypes associated with the genre. Unlike conventional college dramas, which often revolve around romance or rivalry, this film blends fun, fantasy, and a fresh perspective on campus life.

The story revolves around a group of new-generation students who are highly intellectual and have unique perspectives. In an era dominated by scientific advancements, they still cherish the thrill of comics and superheroes. However, their intelligence and curiosity soon lead them into unforeseen challenges. The way they navigate these crises, using their wit and teamwork, forms the crux of the story. The film promises plenty of humor and exciting moments, making it stand apart from traditional campus dramas.

With a strong production team, a promising storyline, and a cast full of seasoned and young talents, Padakkalam is shaping up to be an exciting addition to Malayalam cinema. As the release date approaches, fans are eagerly awaiting to see how this unique blend of fantasy and campus life unfolds on the big screen.
