The thrilling glimpse video of the character portrayed by Murali Gopy in the upcoming Malayalam film ‘Ananthan Kaadu’ has been released. Directed by Jiyen Krishnakumar and written by Murali Gopy, the film follows their previous critically and commercially acclaimed collaboration "Tiyaan". Murali Gopy plays a striking character named Thangaraj Ponnappan, and the glimpse features a high-voltage scene that gives us a peek into his persona. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on June 25.

Thangaraj's defiant nature is evident in the released glimpse. This sequence hints at the film's deep political themes.
