Good Luck Chico marks the big-screen debut of Karikku, one of Malayalam’s most prominent digital-content platforms, which built a massive audience through its web series and distinctive brand of comedy. The project is directed by Karikku founder Nikhil Prasad, who also produces the film alongside Dr. Ananthu S. The film is being made under Dr. Ananthu Productions and Karikku Studios. The project had been in development for some time, with its pooja held in April 2026, before the title was finally revealed with the first-look poster. The announcement brings Karikku’s familiar in-house creative ecosystem to the big screen, while the makers have so far kept the film’s storyline and character details under wraps. The film is scheduled for a 2027 release.
