The makers of the pan-Indian Malayalam film ‘Kattalan’, featuring actor Antony Varghese (Pepe) in the lead, recently released footage of a jeep turning turtle during a stunt sequence, paying tribute to the brave stuntmen whose courage allows such sequences to be filmed.

The clip showed the jeep overturning during a stunt, with the entire unit rushing to extract the stuntman from the vehicle. They captioned the post with a heartfelt message: “Salute to the unseen HEROES behind the screen!”
Interest in the film continues to grow among fans and film buffs. Earlier in October, the makers unveiled the first-look poster featuring Antony Varghese (Pepe).

This striking look radiated raw intensity, setting the tone for an exciting mass entertainer. The blood-stained face and hands emphasized the film’s gritty action essence, showcasing Antony in a fierce new avatar.
