The film went on floors in May 2025 and is currently under production. Jayasurya will reprise his iconic role as Shaji Pappan, the rugged and quirky tug-of-war team leader whose accidental adventures drive the story.
From goat to time travel
The 'Aadu' franchise began with a bizarrely fun premise — a tug-of-war team winning a goat as a prize, only to get caught up in a whirlwind of politicians, gangsters, and a pink bag full of trouble. Vinayakan, Vijay Babu, Dharmajan Bolgatty, and Indrans are expected to return as part of the ensemble cast. Jayasurya will be next seen in 'Kathanar: The Wild Sorcerer'.
