Kathanar First Look: The success of the superhero movie Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra, which debuted to overwhelmingly positive reviews, has put Malayalam cinema on a high note. However, a new trailer for an upcoming film has surfaced, exciting the public. The creators of the eagerly awaited fantasy thriller Kathanar: The Wild Sorcerer have made a significant announcement by revealing the first-look poster for the title character, which promises an unprecedented experience.
Kathanar First Look Details:
The first-look poster provides an engrossing and microcosmic preview of the thriller, showcasing a masterful fusion of myth and horror, and is based on the traditions surrounding Kadamattathu Kathanar, a Christian priest thought to have possessed magical abilities who lived in the ninth century. Actor Jayasurya, who plays Kadamattathu Kathanar, is depicted on the poster standing on the brink of a cliff covered in aerial roots that are blood-red and black. The rock’s rough texture gives the impression that it is in a remote, isolated area. His beard and long hair highlight that Kathanar is more than just a priest—he is a warrior who fights bad powers.
Take a look a the post:
Not the tale you know, but the one rewritten by time.
An epic reborn, for a new era.
