Actor-producer Unni Mukundan joins hands with Panaroma Studios for his 50th film
Unni Mukundan takes on the role of writer-director for the action thriller film, set to release on a pan-Indian canvas
Mumbai-based Panorama Studios forged a partnership with Unni Mukundan and his banner, Unni Mukundan Films (UMF), on Monday (September 9). The actor is slated to headline the film and script-direct it. The title, supporting cast, and filming timeline remain undisclosed, though the movie is slated to be a Malayalam action thriller released nationwide.
This marks Unni Mukundan's 50th venture as an actor, counting his debut in the 2011 Tamil film Seedan. His Malayalam debut was Bombay March 12 in the same year. In a statement, the actor expressed that "My 50th film is a very special milestone for me, and being able to step into the role of writer-director makes it even more meaningful.
I've always wanted to tell stories in my own voice, and this felt like the right project and the right time to take that step." Unni Mukundan is also set to appear in Whistle, directed by Rajeev Krishna, announced in July. He also starred in Maa Vande, where the actor played Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which was announced last year.
His recent releases include Mindiyum Paranjum (2025), Get-Set Baby (2025), and Marco (2024). The Hindu reviewed Marco as "high on 'mass-y' gore," stating that the film is "about how the brothers wreak havoc on their brother's murderers — Tony Issac and his sons." Panorama Studios, owned by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, previously collaborated with Malayalam creators, distributing films like Drishyam 3, Unmadham and Anomie: The Equation of Death.
