Official! Keerthy Suresh's 'Revolver Rita' locks release date; aims THIS festival in August
The much-awaited release date of
Keerthy Suresh
's next film 'Revolver Rita' has been announced. The film is set to hit theaters on 27 August, aligning with the celebration of Vinayagar Chaturthi.
This official confirmation has encouraged the fans, who have been waiting for the update since the film's teaser, which was unveiled on Keerthy Suresh's birthday.
With the prescribed release during a major festival, producers are expecting to attract large family audiences to theaters.
Anticipated for Keerthy Suresh's strong comeback
'Revolver Rita' is an important film in Keerthy Suresh's career, especially after the lackluster reception her recent films have received.
Her last Tamil outing, 'Raghu Thatha', was released in 2024, but failed to leave an impression at the box office. She then played the lead role in 'Baby John,' which was the Hindi remake of Vijay's 'Theri', which did not perform as expected. Despite the failures, Keerthy Suresh continues to work in diverse roles, and 'Revolver Rita' is expected to be shown in a bold and dynamic avatar.
Stellar cast and crew raise expectations
Directed by JK Chandru, who first helmed 'Naveena Saraswati Sabadham', 'Revolver Rita' boasts a unique story and an ensemble cast. Along with Keerthy Suresh, the film also stars Sunil, Ajay Ghosh,
John Vijay
, Redin Kingsley, Suresh Chakravarthy, and
Blade Shankar
.
The technical team consists of cinematography by Dinesh Krishnan and music composed by Sean Roldan, as both bring a rich creative value to the project.
Teaser generated great buzz
After wrapping her shooting in 2024, 'Revolver Rita' has been in post-production for several months. The teaser indicated a bizarre, action-packed story, where Keerthy Suresh is playing a powerful, possibly eccentric character with Suresh. Now with its dramatic release, 'Revolver Rita' aims to offer a fresh cinematic experience to the audience.

Kerala Crime Files Season 2 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Aju Varghese and Lal's Malayalam series
Kerala Crime Files Season 2 OTT Release Date: After the strong buzz around its debut season, Kerala Crime Files is back with a second round, and this time, the mystery cuts deeper. Titled Kerala Crime Files: The Hunt for CPO Ambili, Season 2 is all set to premiere on June 20, 2025, on JioHotstar. It will stream not just in Malayalam but also in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. The first season that set the tone When Kerala Crime Files dropped its first season last year, it didn't come in with a lot of noise. But what worked in its favour was how quietly gripping the narrative turned out to be. Directed by Ahammed Khabeer, the story followed the investigation into the murder of a sex worker found dead in a shady lodge. The only clue? A fake ID left behind with the name Shiju. No melodrama, no heroism, just six grounded episodes that focused on the step-by-step police investigation, handled by SI Manoj (played by Aju Varghese) and his superior, played by Lal. It won praise for its realistic portrayal of crime-solving and the kind of quiet tension that stays with you. What's new in Season 2? This time, the case hits closer to home. The storyline revolves around the sudden disappearance of a police officer, CPO Ambili Raju, and the chain of events that unfold when his team sets out to find him. Veteran actor Indrans plays Ambili, and though he's missing for most of the series, his presence, or rather, absence, becomes the emotional core of the narrative. The returning cast includes Aju Varghese, Lal, Sanju Sanichen, and Navas Vallikunnu, but the big new addition this season is Arjun Radhakrishnan, who takes on the role of SI Noble, the cop leading the hunt. If Arjun's name rings a bell, that's because he was seen in projects like Rocket Boys, Ullozhukku, and Kannur Squad, known for taking up intense roles that require a lot of emotional range. The supporting cast also gets a boost with actors like Harishree Ashokan, Noorin Shereef, Shibla Fara, and Jeo Baby. Who's behind it? Ahammed Khabeer again directs Kerala Crime Files Season 2. The writing this time is handled by Bahul Ramesh, the same writer behind Kishkinda Kaandam, which was appreciated for its quirky tone and sharp dialogues. Before the official release, the team has planned a special screening in Kochi on June 18 for members of the film fraternity and media. The series will follow a weekly drop format and is expected to have 6 to 8 episodes, similar to its first run.
