The makers of director Subhash Lalitha Subrahmanian's musical horror comedy film 'Karakkam' have announced that the film will now hit screens on May 28 this year.
Krown Star Entertainment, one of the production houses behind the film, took to social media on Friday to make the announcement. The post read, "A haunting tune is all set to take over theatres on May 28. Expect screams. Expect laughs. Expect the unexpected! #Karakkam worldwide release on May 28."
A teaser released a few days ago promises a chilling blend of horror, humour, and high-energy chaos. It offers a lively yet unsettling glimpse into the world of the film. At its core, the story follows a group of young friends whose lives are thrown into chaos when uninvited spirits enter the picture.
The teaser shows the group being chased by five spirits, setting up a tense and unpredictable situation. It hints that these spirits are from another time, stepping into the characters' lives with both mischief and menace. While the characters are clearly on the run, their reactions carry a mix of fear, confusion, and even humour. Because of this, 'Karakkam' feels less like a straightforward horror film and more like a chaotic ride where the characters constantly try to make sense of their surroundings. The teaser handles the tone well, balancing eeriness and fun simultaneously.
The buzz around the film picked up when actor Prithviraj Sukumaran shared its first look. The project is led by producers Ankush Singh and Kimberly Trinidade under Krown Stars Entertainment and Black Turtle Productions, and is directed by Subhash Lalitha Subrahmanian, best known for directing 'Charles Enterprises'.
South Indian music sensation Sam C. S. has handled both the score and songs. The film features a stellar cast including Sreenath Bhasi, Femina George, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Sidharth Bharathan, Shaun Romy, Bijukuttan, Manikandan R. Achari, and Midhutty.
The script is a collaboration between Nipin Narayanan, Subhash Lalitha Subrahmanian, and Arjun Narayanan, with the story written by Dhanush Varghese. Cinematography is by Bablu Aju, with Nithin Arol handling editing. The songs feature lyrics from a top-tier team including Anwar Ali, Vinayak Sasikumar, Muhsin Parari, and Hareesh Mohanan.
Rounding out the crew are Rajesh P. Velayudhan on art direction, Aravind Menon on sound mixing, and the team at Sync Cinema handling sound design. Marketing and communications have been managed by Dr. Sangeetha Janachandran (Stories Social).
