Malayalam superstar Mohanlal's highly anticipated magnum opus Vrusshabha will now release worldwide on 25 December 2025. The film, originally slated for an October 16 release, was shifted first to November 6 and has now been postponed to coincide with Christmas.
Mohanlal shared the update on his X timeline, posting a video clip that offers a glimpse of an intense action sequence. He wrote, “Some stories are more than cinema, they’re legacies. This Christmas, witness that legacy roar to life in #Vrusshabha. A film that celebrates emotion, grandeur, and destiny. Releasing worldwide on 25th December 2025.” The video also featured statements like, “A king’s arrival is royal. The preparations must be grand. Prepare for the king Vrusshabha.”
The excitement around Vrusshabha began earlier this year when Mohanlal’s first‑look poster was unveiled on his birthday. The poster showcased him as a fierce warrior in intricately detailed golden‑brown armour with dragon‑scale patterns, long hair, a thick beard, white tilak, and traditional ornaments. Directed and penned by Nanda Kishore, Vrusshabha is a fantasy action drama shot simultaneously in Malayalam and Telugu.
The film is presented by Connekkt Media in collaboration with Balaji Telefilms, and jointly produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ekta R. Kapoor, CK Padma Kumar, Varun Mathur, Saurabh Mishra, Abhishek S. Vyas, Vishal Gurnani, and Juhi Parekh Mehta. The movie will release in five languages – Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada – ensuring a pan‑Indian reach.
