Anupama Parameswaran’s tense thriller Lockdown earns a prestigious IFFI 2025 premiere before its theatrical release, backed by a strong cast and technical team.
Anupama Parameswaran is set to return to the spotlight as her upcoming thriller Lockdown will make its world premiere at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. The announcement, made by Lyca Productions, marks a proud moment for the team and underscores the film’s growing buzz ahead of its theatrical release. Directed by newcomer AR Jeeva, Lockdown promises to be a tense and emotionally charged narrative. It will hit theatres on December 5th, just after its festival outing, offering audiences a chance to experience the story on the big screen.
The ensemble cast for Lockdown is extensive, featuring performers such as Charlie, Nirosha, Priya Venkat, Livingston, Indhumathi, Rajkumar, Shamji, Lollu Saba Maran, Vinayak Raj, Vidhu, Abhirami, Ravathi, Sanjivie, Priya Ganesh, and Asha. Their combined talents lend the film a layered appeal, blending intensity with human drama.
Technically, the film rounds out a strong creative crew. Music is composed by NR Raghunanthan and Siddharth Vipin, offering a score designed to heighten the suspense and emotional weight of the narrative. KA Sakthivel handles the cinematography, expected to bring a raw, grounded feel to the visuals, while VJ Sabu Joseph oversees the film’s editing. A Jayakumar is on board as art director, shaping the film’s aesthetic and setting the visual tone for this thriller.
For Lyca Productions, which backs the film, having Lockdown premiere at IFFI represents more than just a festival credit – it’s a milestone. As Anupama Parameswaran continues to build a diverse filmography, this project stands out as a bold and emotionally gripping venture.
