A Much-Awaited Film
The makers of the film had released the teaser on their Instagram handle on August 15 with the caption, "The King is Here & The Game Begins !!!"
The teaser opens with an introduction to Gautham Vasudev Menon's character including some impressive shots of a gun fight before a voiceover from the actor-director takes over. The voiceover ends with him asking, "So then, who are you?" before the focus shifts to Mammootty in character, as his voiceover takes over. The actor is featured in a stylish avatar, dressed in a crisp black and white suit, sporting shades and a tiny tuft of his hair tied back.
The official title of the film was announced in April 2023, and has, since then, been building anticipation among fans. Principal photography began in May 2023 in Kochi. Deeno has also served as the writer of Bazooka.
The film, the production of which got wrapped in March this year, also stars Tamil director-actor Gautham Vasudev Menon in an important role, and thus marks the first acting collaboration between Mammootty and Gautham. Interestingly, the Tamil director and the Malayalam actor are also now collaborating on another project that the former is directing. The cast of Bazooka also includes actors Sidharth Bharthan, Babu Antony, Hakim Shahjahan, Bhama Arun, Divya Pillai, and Sumith Naval of Big B-fame, among others.
