Prithviraj Sukumaran’s ‘I, Nobody’ Gets CBFC green signal ahead of release, But fans spot a date twist…

The much-awaited Malayalam thriller ‘I, Nobody’, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Parvathy Thiruvothu, has officially received a U/A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), clearing the final hurdle before its theatrical release.

Sharing the news with fans on social media, Prithviraj confirmed that the film has completed the certification process and is ready for the big screen.”Cleared. Certified. Ready. In cinemas worldwide. #INobody #ANobodyLikeYou #EveryNobody. I, Nobody trailer is out now,” the actor wrote.

The certification has further heightened anticipation for the heist thriller, which promises a gripping blend of suspense, mystery and psychological drama.

A Story Built Around Secrets and Identity

Directed by Nissam Basheer and written by Sameer Abdul, I, Nobody revolves around Rajeevan, played by Prithviraj Sukumaran, a government employee whose quiet life takes an unexpected turn after he becomes entangled in a police investigation.

The trailer hints at a layered narrative that explores themes of identity, guilt, deception and hidden truths, while maintaining an intense thriller atmosphere.

Alongside Prithviraj, Parvathy Thiruvothu plays a pivotal role, with Hakim Shajahan also featuring prominently in the film.

Strong Supporting Cast and Technical Crew

The film boasts an impressive ensemble featuring Aira, Nishanth Sagar, Nandhu, Noushad Bombay, Hakim Shajahan, Ashokan, Vijayaraghavan, Madhupal, Shankar Ramakrishnan and Nakshathra.

On the technical front, Harshavardhan Rameshwar has composed the music, while Dinesh Purushothaman has handled cinematography. Dhanya Balakrishnan has designed the costumes, and Ronnex Xavier has overseen the makeup department.

The project was officially launched with a traditional pooja ceremony at Wellington Island in Ernakulam in April last year before moving into production.

Release Date Confusion

While the film’s promotional announcement confirms that I, Nobody is set for a worldwide theatrical release on July 9, some promotional material also mentions August 20, 2026, coinciding with the Onam festive season.

The makers are yet to clarify the discrepancy, but the latest official update from Prithviraj points to the earlier announced release schedule.

Prithviraj’s Busy Line-Up

Prithviraj Sukumaran was last seen in the Malayalam action thriller ‘Pallichattambi’. He has a packed slate of upcoming projects, including ‘Khalifa’ and the ambitious time-travel action film ‘Varanasi’, where he is set to portray the antagonist Kumbha.

Directed by SS Rajamouli, Varanasi also stars Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in key roles, making it one of the most anticipated Indian films currently in production.
