Disco, the new Malayalam film from director Ullas Chemban, has a cast to watch. Antony Varghese leads a group of familiar faces in the teaser, which the Chembosky Motion Pictures channel published on October 6. Several trade handles and an overseas distributor have reported a November 6 release. The teaser itself does not give a date.
The makers have put out only a teaser so far, and there is no trailer yet. You can find more on our Disco movie page.
The official cast of Disco
The teaser description names ten actors. The makers have not announced any character names, so this guide lists only the cast.
- Antony Varghese: leads the cast list

A Chemban family project
Chemban Vinod wrote Disco, and Ullas Chemban directs it, the teaser description says. Chemban Vinod also produces the film with Ahmad Golchin, under the Chembosky Motion Pictures and Phars Film banners.
Chemban Vinod Jose is known as the writer of Angamaly Diaries (2017) and Bheemante Vazhi (2021), as trade posts describe him. Disco is Ullas Chemban's second directorial after Anchakkallakokkan, according to trade posts.
The film has also released a song, Ithinno Aadame, which we covered in our Ithinno Aadame story.
The crew
The teaser description lists the main crew:
- Camera: ARMO
- Editing: Rohit VS Variyath
- Music and score: Manikandan Ayyappa
- Production design: A V Gokuldas
- Action: Kalai Kingson
- Choreography: Jishnu Das
- Sound design: R Kannadasan
Release week
If the reported November 6 date holds, our Diwali releases guide covers the other films opening around then. The AU and NZ distributor WanderlustFilm has also posted the November 6 date. The makers have not confirmed a date in the teaser.
One post on X wrongly called Disco a Dileep film with a pre-Diwali release. Dileep is not in the official credits.
Our take
With an ensemble of ten actors led by Antony Varghese, and Chemban Vinod working as writer, producer and actor, Disco looks set to lean on its cast. A trailer with a firm date would be the next thing to watch for.
