After Bazooka, Mammootty is set to play a detective in his upcoming film, Dominic and The Lady’s Purse. Directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, this comedy-investigative thriller marks their first collaboration.

Malayalam superstar Mammootty shared the trailer on his X handle on Wednesday. According to the one minute thirty-two second trailer, the story follows a detective who begins investigating the owner of a purse, but uncovers a darker case involving missing persons.

The clip begins with Mammootty’s character greeting someone and saying, “Welcome to the Dominic Detective Agency.” As he goes deeper into his first case, Gokul Suresh’s character asks how he solves them. Dominic responds by emphasizing the importance of his detective skills, which depend on focus and keen observation.

A few moments into the trailer, a twist is revealed when Viji Venkatesh’s character urges Dominic to find out the owner of the women’s purse. What initially begins as a simple search for a missing purse soon develops into a case involving two missing persons.

Dominic and Ladies Purse is backed by Mammootty’s Mammootty Companies. Gokul Suresh, Lena, Siddique, Vijay Babu and Viji Venkatesh are part of the supporting cast. The screenplay is written by Neeraj Rajan, Sooraj Rajan and Gautham Vasudev Menon.

Mammootty’s Dominic and The Lady’s Purse will release in theaters worldwide on January 23, 2025.
