I'm Game (2026)

I'm Game is a Malayalam action thriller directed by Nahas Hidhayath, which opened in theatres in September 2026. Dulquer Salmaan plays Dan John, a stylish, carefree gambler who plays for luxury stakes and relies on an algorithm-driven, pattern-based method. When unexpected events break that method apart, Dan is pulled into a dangerous series of incidents involving threats far more powerful than he anticipated. The story moves across South India and combines sports betting, corporate crime, psychological drama and large-scale action with a fantasy element that the makers have kept under wraps. Kayadu Lohar, Antony Varghese, Mysskin, Kathir, Vinay Forrt, Samyuktha Viswanathan, Parth Tiwari, Aadam and Ashish Mathew are also in the cast. Bilal Moidu, Ismail Aboobacker and Sajeer Baba wrote the film, which Dulquer Salmaan and Jom Varghese produce under Wayfarer Films. Jakes Bejoy composes the music, Nimish Ravi and Jimshi Khalid handle the cinematography and Chaman Chacko edits. Developed under the working title DQ40, the film was shot over 156 days between March 2025 and April 2026 at more than 100 locations.
