About the Movie
Khalifa is an action-packed entertainer starring Prithviraj, directed by Vyshak, and written by Jinu Abraham. The film is slated for release during the Onam 2026 festive season.
Mounted on a big budget, Khalifa has been extensively shot across London (UK), Nepal, and Dubai, reflecting its масштаб and international appeal. The film carries strong box office expectations, further boosted by an extended cameo appearance by Mohanlal.
Although Vyshak’s recent films haven’t performed well, he remains one of Malayalam cinema’s most dependable directors when it comes to delivering large-scale mass entertainers. His strength lies in crafting high-energy action sequences with conviction, supported by effective use of stunt choreography and commercial storytelling.
The film is also crucial for Prithviraj, as his recent solo outings, including Vilayath Buddha, didn’t create significant impact at the Kerala box office. Khalifa could serve as a major comeback vehicle if it connects with audiences.
