Patriot: Nayanthara looks fiery in first-look poster
The excitement around the upcoming film Patriot has intensified with the release of a powerful first look poster featuring Nayanthara.
The new image showcases the actress in a serious and intense avatar — half her face visible in the frame — accompanied by the bold tagline “Dissent is patriotic”, setting a tone of defiance and complex themes for her character.
The poster’s release comes as Patriot continues to build anticipation among fans months after its teaser dropped late last year.
The film, directed and written by Mahesh Narayanan, brings together some of Malayalam cinema’s biggest stars in a story that blends political tension with high-stakes drama.
Alongside Nayanthara, the cast includes veterans Mammootty and Mohanlal, marking another major collaboration between the two icons after years.
In Patriot, Mammootty plays Dr. Daniel James, while Mohanlal portrays Col Rahim Naik, pivotal characters at the heart of the film’s mysterious and intense narrative.
The teaser and promotional material have hinted at clandestine programmes, power struggles and moral questions, inviting intrigue over who really drives the story — a force for good or a threat disguised as a protector.
