Tovino Thomas is reuniting with Akhil Paul and Anas Khan, the director duo who made the acclaimed crime thriller Forensic, for his next outing in Malayalam cinema. The project, titled Identity, has been under production from quite some time now. Trisha Krishnan is making a comeback to Malayalam cinema with the much-awaited project, which was supposed to be released in December 2024, as a Christmas special release. But latest updates suggest that Identity’s release has been pushed to 2025.

According to the grapevine, the release of Identity, which marks Tovino Thomas’ first onscreen collaboration with Trisha Krishnan, has been pushed to January 2025. The makers are reportedly planning to release the crime thriller on January 2, 2025, as one of the first Malayalam releases of the year. If the reports are to be believed, the makers of Identity decided to push the release, to avoid a box office clash with other major Christmas releases of 2024, including Mohanlal’s directorial debut Barroz and Aashiq Abu’s Rifle Club.
