The second-look poster of Malayalam film Dhoomakethu features Sajin Gopu, Nikhila Vimal and Ganapathi in a chaotic wedding setting

The makers of ‘Dhoomakethu’ have unveiled the film's second-look poster. The poster features Sajin Gopu, Nikhila Vimal and Ganapathi in the middle of what appears to be a chaotic wedding celebration, with the groom seen removing his mundu and making a run for it.
The film, produced jointly by Happy Hours Entertainments and A & HS Production House, is scheduled to hit theatres worldwide in September.
The new poster seems to hint at the fun and unpredictable nature of ‘Dhoomakethu’. Sajin Gopu is seen as the groom, while Nikhila Vimal and Ganapathi also feature prominently in the artwork.
With the groom suddenly taking off his mundu and running away, while dumbbells and axes appear to be flying around, the poster leaves plenty of room for curiosity about what exactly is unfolding in the film.
The first-look poster had already caught the attention of viewers, particularly for its underwater imagery. Such sequences are relatively uncommon in Malayalam cinema, and the unusual visual helped build interest around the project.
Directed by Sudhi Madison, ‘Dhoomakethu’ features Sajin Gopu, Nikhila Vimal, Shine Tom Chacko and Ganapathi in key roles. Siddharth Bharathan is also part of the cast.
The film brings together a team with considerable experience behind the camera. Sameer Thahir, Shyju Khalid, Sajin Ali and Abbas Thirunavaya are producing the film, while Sonny and Manu have written the screenplay.
