Following the release, Mammootty expressed his gratitude and admiration for producer Anto Joseph through a heartfelt message shared on Instagram. In his post, he acknowledged the producer’s relentless commitment and dedication, writing that the project’s success was a result of sleepless nights, perseverance, and unwavering belief. He stated that the world is now witnessing the realization of the producer’s vision and extended his wishes for the film, noting that the release day belongs to Anto Joseph.
The actor’s message quickly resonated on social media, drawing widespread appreciation from fans and industry observers.
During a recent Instagram Live session with Mohanlal and Kunchacko Boban, Mammootty revealed that the non-Malayalam language versions of the film are expected to release approximately one week after the initial launch. He explained that the decision was made to prioritize audiences in Kerala, while additional time is required to secure censorship clearance for dubbed versions.
Mammootty also noted that Patriot carries a strong social message and expressed cautious optimism regarding its box office prospects. While he conveyed confidence in the film’s overall quality, he emphasized that its ultimate performance depends entirely on audience reception. He further remarked that the film’s outcome could influence the future production of similar large-scale projects within Malayalam cinema.
The narrative of Patriot centers on a retired Judge Advocate General officer, portrayed by Mammootty, who is falsely accused of espionage. As he seeks to clear his name, he becomes involved in a covert national security operation. Mohanlal plays a seasoned armed forces operative who joins him on the mission, intensifying the storyline. Fahadh Faasil appears in a pivotal role, with his character expressing concerns over the alliance, adding layers of internal conflict and escalating stakes.
The film also features an ensemble cast including Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, and Revathy in key roles.
Patriot also marks the long-awaited on-screen reunion of Mohanlal and Mammootty in full-fledged roles. The two celebrated actors were last seen together in a complete film in Twenty 20 (2008). Although Mohanlal made a cameo appearance in Mammootty’s Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty (2013), this release marks their first major collaboration in over a decade.
As Patriot begins its theatrical journey, its reception is being closely watched, not only for its star power but also for its potential impact on the evolving landscape of Malayalam cinema.
