Antony Varghese roped in for Dulquer Salmaan’s ‘I’m Game’

Antony Varghese is back in action and reuniting with ‘RDX: Robert Dony Xavier’ director Nahas Hidhayath for the much-anticipated Malayalam film ‘I’m Game’.

A high-octane entertainer
The high-octane entertainer promises a wild cinematic ride with an ensemble team and multilingual reach.
“Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride!”
Taking to social media on Thursday, both Dulquer and Antony confirmed the actor’s inclusion in the project. Dulquer wrote, “We are excited to welcome Antony Varghese Pepe on board for I’m Game,” while Antony shared his excitement saying, “Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride!” Their announcements come just a day after Dulquer had teased fans with a poster captioned, “Who’s in the Game?”—hinting at a major cast reveal, which took place on May 1 at 6 PM.
The post was soon flooded with comments. One comment read, “Pepe with DQ wow.” Another comment read, “Welcome to the Game.” A third one commented, “DQ × Pepe Combo.”

Directed by Nahas Hidhayath from a screenplay by Sajeer Baba, Bilal Moidu, and Ismail Aboobacker, 'I’m Game' is positioned as an intense action-thriller. The title design, featuring a cracked ground and a suspended metal die, sets the tone for a film centered around risk, unpredictability, and high stakes.
Impressive technical crew
The technical crew behind the project includes top talents such as cinematographer Jimshi Khalid, music director Jakes Bejoy, editor Chaman Chakko, and production designer Ajayan Chalissery.
A pan- Indian flick
With plans for release in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi, I’m Game marks a major pan-Indian move for Antony Varghese and a new genre entry for Dulquer Salmaan’s production house.
Meanwhile, Dulquer Salmaan’s previous outing in Malayalam was the action entertainer ‘King of Kotha’. With huge hype, the film failed to impress the audiences and did an underwhelming box office performance. ‘I’M Game’ is expected to mark the comeback of DQ.
