National Award–winning screenwriter Syam Pushkaran, best known for his sharp and humane storytelling in Malayalam cinema, is all set to make his Tamil debut. He has been roped in as the writer for KH 237, Kamal Haasan’s upcoming action film directed by the stunt-choreographer duo Anbariv.

Pushkaran first caught attention with Aashiq Abu’s Salt N’ Pepper and went on to pen modern classics like Iyobinte Pusthakam (2014), Maheshinte Prathikaaram (2016), Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum (2017), Kumbalangi Nights (2019), Joji (2021), and most recently Rifle Club (2024). Having collaborated with Abu on half of his projects, Pushkaran has built a reputation for crafting layered characters and nuanced drama. His entry into a large-scale Tamil actioner marks a striking new chapter in his career.

For fans, the big question now is how Pushkaran’s delicate narrative touch will blend with Anbariv’s trademark adrenaline-charged style. The marriage of intimate writing and explosive action could be the unique selling point of KH 237.

Kamal, Anbariv & The Road Ahead

The project will see Kamal Haasan headline the actioner while also backing it under his banner Raaj Kamal Films International. Known for constantly reinventing himself, Haasan is coming off the release of Thug Life earlier this year. Meanwhile, the future of Indian 3 remains uncertain after the lukewarm reception of Indian 2 in 2024 — making KH 237 an important film for the actor both creatively and commercially.

Directors Anbariv, the twin brothers Anbumani and Arivumani, are household names in South Indian cinema for their action design. Their stunt work in Vikram and Thug Life drew particular praise, and with KH 237 they are stepping into the director’s chair for the first time. Their reputation ensures that the action quotient will be sky-high.

With Syam Pushkaran now steering the script, anticipation is mounting around the film’s tone. Will it be a gritty action drama with emotional heft, or an all-out spectacle with a fresh narrative twist? The official announcements so far have been tight-lipped, but the creative team assembled suggests something ambitious is in the works.
