The wait is finally over! Mammootty’s Bazooka to hit screens on THIS date
Chennai: The wait is finally over for Mammootty fans as his much-anticipated action thriller Bazooka is set to hit cinemas worldwide on April 10. The makers of the film announced the new release date on Friday, putting an end to weeks of speculation.
Originally slated for a Valentine’s Day release on February 14, the film was delayed for undisclosed reasons. While it was known that the release had been postponed, the makers had remained tight-lipped about the new date—until now.
On Friday, Mammootty, who plays the lead in the film, took to his X timeline to announce the new release date. He wrote, “#Bazooka in Cinemas Worldwide from April 10 , 2025 #BazookaFromApril10”
The film has been generating massive buzz, not just for Mammootty’s presence but also because it features renowned filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon in a pivotal role. Menon, who last worked with Mammootty on Dominic and the Ladies Purse, will be seen playing a police officer in this intense gangster drama.
Bazooka is produced by Vikram Mehra, Sidharth Anand Kumar, Dolwin Kuriakose, Jinu V Abhraham and co-produced by Sahil S Sharma.
The official teaser released by the makers a few weeks ago gives away the fact that Gautham Menon’s character in the film is called Benjamin.
The teaser opens with Benjamin and his partner from the force, wait in a car, eating popcorn and watching gangsters taking on each other. When his boss calls him, asking him not to fetch any fresh trouble, Benjamin lies to his boss that they are in a theatre watching a late night show. Soon after, there is an encounter.
The teaser has Benjamin explaining that this is a game that starts at one and ends at 100. He then says that this is a game between the good and the bad. The teaser then has Mammootty’s introduction.
However, the teaser doesn’t give any details of his role. In fact, there is a scene in which Gautham Menon asks Mammootty, “Actually, what is your role in this story?”. To this Mammootty replies, “There is no role that I haven’t done, brother.”
The film has music by Midhun Mukundan and cinematography by Nimish Ravi. Nishadh Yusuf has handled the editing of the film, which has its stunts choreographed by Mahesh Mathew, Vicky , PC Stunts and Mafia Sasi.
