Premam Hero Makes Strong Comeback After a Decade

Nivin Pauly, a promising talent in the Malayalam film industry, had secured a significant blockbuster after a decade. Nivin Pauly’s latest film, Sarvam Maya, released on 25th December 2025 as a Christmas gift to his fans and proved to be a treat for moviegoers across Kerala. Sarvam Maya has been a box-office sensation, grossing over Rs 100 crores within 10 days.

A supernatural comedy, Sarvam Maya features Riya Shibu in the lead role and has received critical acclaim for her performance. The entire story revolves around her character and Nivin Pauly, who plays an atheist-turned-priest in unexpected circumstances.

His performance has also garnered significant acclaim from film critics, contributing to the film’s strong box office performance.

With this blockbuster success, Nivin Pauly re-enters the spotlight alongside other rising young heroes such as Tovino Thomas and Basil Joseph, who are currently dominating headlines in the Malayalam film industry.

Nivin Pauly has been constantly struggling to score a hit and his last big blockbuster was Premam which was released in 2015.
