Mammootty and Mohanlal are set to hit the big screens together after a decade with the spy action drama Patriot. Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, the film is scheduled to release in theatres on May 1, 2026.
Ahead of its release, the makers have unveiled a trailer that is classy and stylish from the outset.
Patriot Trailer OUT
In a trailer that runs for more than three minutes, Patriot begins with Nayanthara’s character inquiring about a situation she had to endure. As the trailer progresses, it explores how an intelligence system is being privatized and how it could be catastrophic if it falls into the wrong hands.
While one man embarks on a mission to oppose them, he too becomes the target of hostility, even being labelled a criminal. In his quest to expose the truth, he must gain the support of his closest friend, leading to a dynamic unlike any other.
Here’s the trailer:
With Mammootty and Mohanlal as co-leads, the multi-starrer film also features Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, Revathi, Rajiv Menon, Darshana Rajendran, and many others in key roles.
Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, the film has its music and background score composed by Sushin Shyam. The cinematography is handled by Manush Nandan ISC, while Mahesh Narayanan and Rahul Radhakrishnan serve as the editors.
Initially, Patriot was slated to release in theatres on April 23, 2026. However, the film has been postponed and will now hit the big screens on May 1, 2026.
