Joju George-starrer 'Varavu' was released in theaters on July 16, 2026, directed by Shaji Kailas.

Many critics found the revenge plot outdated and predictable, criticizing the writing and execution.

The film reportedly draws inspiration from the success of 'Pani,' with Shaji Kailas and writer A K Sajan attempting a similar gritty action style.
