Today, February 3, 2026, marks Dulquer Salmaan's 14th year in the film industry, and to commemorate this milestone, the makers of his upcoming action thriller, I'm Game, have released a new poster, confirming the film's release during Onam 2026. While the exact release date remains unannounced, the poster offers a glimpse into the film's gritty and intense narrative.

The new poster features Salmaan in a rugged and bruised look, holding a gun with a blood-soaked hand close to his face, hinting at the film's action-packed gangster storyline. Salmaan also took to social media to mark the occasion, expressing gratitude to his fans for their unwavering support throughout his career.

I'm Game is directed by Nahas Hidhayath, known for his impressive debut with the 2023 action film RDX. This film marks Salmaan's return to Malayalam cinema after the 2023 release of King of Kotha. Since King of Kotha, Salmaan has focused on projects in other languages, including the Tamil period film Kaantha and upcoming Telugu films Aakasamlo Oka Tara and the tentatively titled DQ 41.

The film's story is by Nahas Hidhayath, with the screenplay co-written by Bilal Moidu, Ismail Aboobacker, and Sajeer Baba. The dialogues are penned by Shahabas Rasheed and Aadarsh Sukumaran. The technical crew includes cinematographer Jimshi Khalid, music director Jakes Bejoy, editor Chaman Chakko, and production designer Ajayan Chalissery. The action sequences are choreographed by Anbariv, the celebrated stunt duo known for their work in major pan-Indian blockbusters.

I'm Game also stars Antony Varghese, Kathir, Mysskin, and Samyuktha Viswanathan in pivotal roles. The film is produced by Dulquer Salmaan and Jom Varghese.

The first look poster, released in late November 2025, depicts Salmaan sitting on a red sofa, holding a gun, further suggesting his gangster role in the film. The poster release was accompanied by the caption "Homecoming" on Salmaan's Instagram. The film is expected to be a high-octane action thriller.

I'm Game is anticipated to be Salmaan's 40th film. The film commenced shooting on May 3, 2025. I'm Game is expected to release in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada.
