Helmed by Kiran Das, the film is headlined by Kunchacko Boban and Lijomol Jose, bringing together two performers known for their emotional depth and nuanced portrayals.
UNMADHAM follows a police constable battling a fragile family life as he reopens a long-unsolved case believed to have supernatural undertones. As he digs deeper, the mystery intensifies, blurring the line between reality and delusion.
Presenting the film, Bhushan Kumar, Chairman and Managing Director of T-Series said, “UNMADHAM is the kind of story that stays with you; it’s layered with psychological intensity and emotionally grounded narrative. The film’s unique blend of suspense with human conflict, set against a gripping investigative backdrop is what makes it a compelling cinematic experience, and we at T-Series are proud to back such films that are bold in their vision and tell a story not said before.”
Speaking about the film, producer Kumar Mangat Pathak, Chairman of Panorama Studios said, “With UNMADHAM, we wanted to create an experience that keeps the audience constantly questioning what is real and what isn’t. It’s a film that builds tension in a very grounded way. Collaborating with T-Series on this slate has allowed us to scale these stories and reach a wider audience.”
Abhishek Pathak, producer at Panorama Studios, added, “What excited me about UNMADHAM is the tension at its heart — a simple police constable reopening a forgotten case that slowly begins to consume his life and sanity. At Panorama Studios, we believe in backing stories that challenge and engage viewers, and UNMADHAM is exactly that — gripping, unpredictable, and rooted in powerful performances.”
Known for his award-winning performances, Kunchacko Boban said, “UNMADHAM is about the frenzy that builds quietly within a person. My character is torn between responsibility and doubt, and as the case unfolds, his world begins to shift in unexpected ways. It’s a role that demanded emotional intensity and restraint at the same time.”
Speaking about the atmosphere that defines the story, Lijomol Jose shared, “The title itself suggests a state where fear, confusion, and truth collide. The story draws you into the life of ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances. What I love most is how grounded and real the emotions feel, even when the situation spirals.”
Marking his directorial debut, Kiran Das, one of Malayalam cinema’s most acclaimed editors, shared his thoughts on the title: “UNMADHAM reflects a state of frenzy — not just in the events of the story, but in the experience of the central character. We want the audience to feel the uncertainty he feels. Is what he’s chasing truly supernatural, or is something else at play? That tension drives the film.”
Kiran Das, a Kerala State Film Award winner for Ishq, has edited several landmark films including Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, Joji, Moothon, Romancham, Rorschach, Joseph, and Ela Veezha Poonchira.
The film is written by National Award-winning writer Shahi Kabir (Nayattu, Joseph), who reunites with Kunchacko Boban for UNMADHAM after the commercial success of Officer On Duty. Music is composed by Mujeeb Majeed (Kishkindha Kandam), with action by Kalai Kingson (Marco, Bhramayugam).
UNMADHAM is presented by Gulshan Kumar, Bhushan Kumar, T-Series Films and Panorama Studios, and produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak. The film is co-produced by Ram Mirchandani and Rajesh Menon, with Abhinav Mehrotra serving as creative producer.
With a compelling title, a powerhouse creative team, and a story that promises to keep audiences questioning what is real and what lies beneath the surface, UNMADHAM is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing Malayalam films to watch out for. Further updates, including the film’s first look and release plans, will be announced soon.
