Shahi Kabir, a former police officer turned filmmaker, is best known for scripting the National Award-winning Nayattu and Joseph. His real-life experience in law enforcement adds authenticity to the genre he's now revisiting with Ronth. This new film is expected to offer an emotionally charged and grounded take on police life—one shaped by someone who has lived it.

The cast of Ronth includes celebrated actor-filmmaker Dileesh Pothan, whose naturalistic performances have long been praised, and Roshan Mathew, who plays a police officer for the first time in his career. Mathew’s casting adds a fresh dimension to the familiar setup, while Pothan’s involvement lends credibility and depth to the narrative.

Malayalam cinema has a strong legacy of realistic police dramas, and Ronth aims to build on that foundation. Junglee Pictures’ decision to enter this space reflects its growing interest in regional cinema and its focus on stories rooted in cultural and emotional authenticity.

Teasers and early visuals from Ronth suggest a raw, character-driven narrative that explores the moral complexities of police duty. Rather than aiming for surface-level thrills, the film seems poised to dive into the inner lives of its protagonists and the ethical dilemmas they face.

With Ronth, Junglee Pictures marks its Malayalam debut by aligning with a team that has consistently delivered impactful stories. The collaboration signals the studio’s intent to expand its footprint in regional cinema while staying true to its storytelling ethos.
