Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan’s much-awaited action entertainer ‘I’m Game’ will now release worldwide on September 3, the actor announced on Thursday.
Directed by Nahas Hidhayath, the film was earlier scheduled to hit theatres globally on August 20. Announcing the postponement, Dulquer acknowledged the anticipation surrounding the project and said the new date would allow the film to reach a wider audience.
“The game gets bigger. The release gets wider. We understand the anticipation and we apologise for the delay, but #imgame will now release worldwide on 3rd September, moving from its earlier release date of 20th August,” Dulquer said in a statement.
He added that the revised release date was part of a larger plan to give the film a wider theatrical rollout across markets.
“The new release date comes with a larger vision for the film as #imgame gears up for a wider theatrical release across markets. The film will now simultaneously release in multiple languages — Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada — taking the experience to audiences across the country and beyond,” he said.
Dulquer said the decision was aimed at ensuring that the film receives the scale, reach and theatrical platform it deserves.
“This decision has been made to give #imgame the scale, reach, and theatrical platform it truly deserves, allowing audiences across different markets to experience it on the big screen. The wait gets a little longer, but the game gets bigger!” he added.
‘I’m Game’ marks Dulquer’s return to Malayalam cinema and has been mounted on an ambitious scale. The production involved an 11-month shooting schedule spanning 156 days, with filming conducted across more than 100 locations in South India.
The film also stars Antony Varghese, Mysskin, Kayadu Lohar, Kathir, Parth Tiwari and Samyuktha Viswanathan.
Jakes Bejoy has composed the music, while Anbariv Masters have choreographed the action sequences. The film is produced by Dulquer Salmaan and Jom Varghese under the banner of Wayfarer Films.
