Sharing a striking poster from the film on social media, Dulquer wrote, “The countdown ends and the real game begins! ..`I`m Game` is locked, loaded, and arriving in theaters this August 20 for the ultimate Onam celebration!..Get ready to witness the magic on the big screen.”
`I`m Game` also marks Dulquer Salmaan`s return to Malayalam cinema after his 2023 film `King of Kotha`. It was directed by Abhilash Joshiy in his directorial debut.
