Touted to be an action-packed venture, ‘I'm Game’ marks Dulquer’s return to Malayalam cinema after his 2023 drama ‘King of Kotha.’ Directed by Abhilash Joshiy, the gangster action flick followed the story of Kotha Raju, also known as Raju Madrassi.

Directed by Venky Atluri and produced by Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya, ‘Lucky Baskhar’ follows the journey of Bhaskar Kumar, a middle-class bank employee struggling with financial burdens. His meagre salary leaves him in debt to the entire village, pushing him to take a gamble on a risky investment out of desperation.
‘Lucky Baskhar’ was released in theatres worldwide on October 31, 2024.
