Dulquer Salmaan-starrer ‘I’m Game’, directed by Nahas Hidhayath, will no longer release during the Onam season. The makers have postponed the film’s release from August 20 to Sep 3.
Dulquer announced the new release date on Instagram, saying the delay would help the team give the film a wider release and a better experience for audiences. He also assured fans that the additional time would allow the film to reach more viewers across different markets.
“The game gets bigger and the release gets wider,” Dulquer said while sharing the update.
The film will now hit theatres worldwide on September 3 in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada, with a simultaneous release in all five languages. The move is expected to take the film beyond the Malayalam-speaking audience, with plans for a wider theatrical presence across India and overseas.
The makers said the decision was taken to give the film a bigger release and the reach it deserves. The wider rollout is also expected to allow audiences in more regions to experience the film on the big screen.

The postponement means ‘I’m Game’ will miss the much-awaited Onam release window, which was expected to give the Dulquer-starrer a strong opening at the box office. The team, however, appears to have prioritised a wider release over an earlier arrival.
Directed by Nahas Hidhayath, who previously helmed the popular road movie ‘RDX’, ‘I’m Game’ has already generated interest with Dulquer Salmaan in the lead. With the film now set for a worldwide release across five languages, expectations remain high.
The wait for fans will be a little longer, but the makers are looking to make the September 3 theatrical arrival a bigger release for ‘I’m Game’.
