The film's music label, Sony Music South, had put out the first eight reveals one a day, from October 16 to 23. As of Saturday evening, Paulie is official only through Tovino's post. Every official reveal carries the line "An Amal Neerad Film".

Who is Paulie?
Beyond the name, nothing about the character has been shared. The posters show Jyothirmayi in a muted olive shirt against a warm orange backdrop, with no tagline. The official reveals spell her name Jyothirmayee, while she is widely credited as Jyothirmayi.
Jyothirmayi and Amal Neerad
The casting has a personal link. Jyothirmayi married Amal Neerad in 2015, according to reports. She stepped away from films after 2013 and returned in his Bougainvillea in 2024, reports say. Malayalam audiences know her best from Bhavam (2002), which earned her a National Film Award special mention, and from Meesa Madhavan.
The eight before her
Naslen opened the run as Sony on October 16. Soubin Shahir followed as Dani on October 17, both through the same daily reveal format.
Sharafudheen as Pappan came third, then Sreenath Bhasi as Xavi. Chandu Salimkumar as Mammu and Shine Tom Chacko as Guru were next. Nadiya Moidu as Anna Mathews and Rajisha Vijayan as Simple completed the first eight. The full list with dates is in the cast table above.
Still under wraps
A few names in the official posts have not had their turn yet. Kunchacko Boban is tagged in every reveal, but his character has not been announced. Tovino is tagged too, and reports say he has a cameo, though no official post names a role for him. Paris Lakshmi is also tagged, with her role yet to be revealed.
Hansika Krishna plays Carol. Tovino confirmed it on X on October 25, sharing two character posters with the line "Hansika Krishna is Carol."
