Chennai, February 17 – The makers of the highly anticipated thriller 'Patriot', directed by Mahesh Narayanan and starring Malayalam cinema superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal, have announced that Mammootty has completed the dubbing for his portions in the film.
In a post on the film's official Instagram handle, the makers wrote, "Undeniable presence. Mammootty completes dubbing for #Patriot. In Cinemas Worldwide from April 23, 2026. #Mammootty #Mohanlal #MaheshNarayanan #AntoJoseph."
It may be recalled that the makers of 'Patriot' had already confirmed that Mohanlal had completed the dubbing for his portions in the film.
On the film's official Instagram handle, the makers recently posted a video clip of Mohanlal giving a thumbs-up after dubbing, and wrote, "Some voices don't just speak; they define moments. Mohanlal has completed dubbing for Patriot. In Cinemas Worldwide from April 23. #Mohanlal #AntoJoseph #AntoJosephFilmCompany #Patriot #MaheshNarayanan."
Just a few days ago, the makers released a Behind The Scenes (BTS) video made using clips shot on the film's sets while the crew was shooting in Sri Lanka.
Actor Mohanlal wrote on his X timeline, "#Patriot Behind The Scenes : Sri Lanka. In Cinemas Worldwide from April 23, 2026."
The BTS video released had visuals shot at an airbase, filled with helicopters, planes, and fighter aircraft. The BTS video also showed glimpses of Mohanlal and Mammootty at the airbase, highlighting that the two legends of Malayalam cinema were coming together after 18 years.
One interesting visual showed Fahadh Faasil sitting inside the cockpit of a fighter aircraft with a professional explaining the aircraft's controls to him. It may be recalled that actor Fahadh Faasil had recently disclosed that he plays the villain in the film.
Fahadh, who participated in an event recently, made this disclosure on stage. "I play the villain in Patriot," he said, and also confirmed that there would be a second part to his blockbuster film 'Aavesham'. "Yes, Aavesham 2 is there. That is a question that people ask me everywhere I go. Hopefully, (in) 2027 or 2028," he said.
For the unaware, Patriot is scheduled to hit screens worldwide on April 23 this year.
On January 4 this year, the makers of the film had announced that the unit had wrapped up the film's shooting. They wrote, "That’s a wrap. Blood, sweat, belief. #PATRIOT marches on. See you on the Big screen."
They also shared a BTS video of all the stars on the sets on the occasion.
The film, which has generated huge expectations ever since it was announced, also features acclaimed actors Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, and Revathy, in addition to the two Malayalam superstars.
A teaser which the makers released last year went on to amplify the expectations of fans and film buffs.
The teaser begins with a voiceover which says, "I remember there was a time when this nation was controlled by the two of them. Together. Over these years, what they earned wasn't just followers. Faith. Trust."
We then see a series of intriguing but intense scenes and hear Mammootty's voice say, "They are going to bring social score to people." We next hear Mohanlal, who appears to play an army general in the film, say, "There are three of us. Do you think you can stop us?"
The teaser then gives us an idea that there is a program called Periscope and that Kunchacko Boban plays a character called Daniel.
Nayanthara is heard asking,"This program which is part of the student laptop scheme. Is that similar to Periscope?" We also hear another voice, asking,"Is this program watching them secretly?" The teaser ends with Mammootty asking someone to complete the sentence, "Great Indian traitor... or Patriot."
Overall, the teaser gives the impression that the film will revolve around a group of socially responsible individuals trying to thwart an illegal attempt by the government to monitor its citizens.
