Fahadh Faasil is a familiar face to Telugu audiences. The Malayalam actor, along with Dileesh Pothan and Syam Pushkaran, is producing the upcoming film Picnic.
After co-writing the successful films Premalu and Bethlehem Kudumba Unit, Kiran Josey is making his directorial debut with the film, which is being produced under the Bhavana Studios banner.
Sandeep Pradeep leads the cast, while Indrajith Sukumaran and Dileesh Pothan play key roles. The film promises to explore the lighter and more entertaining side of family dynamics through a multi-generational story.
The title Picnic itself gets an interesting visual interpretation in the first-look poster. It captures the warmth and togetherness of a family outing.
The central portion features a young couple, an elderly woman and another woman seated casually, while two men hold up a large sheet behind them.
What makes the visual interesting is the scenic image revealed on the sheet, showing a lush green landscape filled with vibrant flowers and surrounded by hills.
Govind Vasantha is composing the music. His notable filmography includes the widely appreciated 96 and Sathyam Sundaram, adding another interesting creative element to the project.
Bhavana Studios is taking an expansive approach to the film’s release, with Picnic set to hit screens simultaneously in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release during Sankranthi on January 14, 2027.
Showing Business is handling the Telugu theatrical release. The production and distribution house has previously been associated with Bhavana Studios through Premalu, which made a strong impact among Telugu audiences.
