'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.

He smiled through his pain, he smiled through his trauma.'Director Coogler shared insights on shaping the twins, revealing he consulted real-life identical twins Noah and Logan Miller for authenticity. He noted, 'They were able to work with Michael to get into the psychology of who Smoke and Stack are... Since I've known these guys, they've shared one cell phone. You'd call and not know who'd pick up, but you always knew the other one was right there.'Jordan, reflecting on the creative process, said, 'What we kind of understood about identical twins is that one is more dominant in certain areas than the other. So discovering those little details was really fun and quite insightful from a process point of view.'Along with its digital release, a special featurette titled 'Thicker Than Blood: Becoming the Smokestack Twins' is available, offering a deeper look into the preparation behind Jordan's dual roles.

Many may choose to wait until the film is either added to subscription-based libraries or re-released with regional language support.
