Mammootty’s critically acclaimed Malayalam folk-horror film Bramayugam is set to receive a rare international honour. The superstar took to X to announce that the film has been officially selected for a special screening at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. Remarkably, it will be the only Indian film featured in the museum’s curated series titled ‘Where the Forest Meets the Sea: Folklore from Around the World’.
Sharing his excitement, Mammootty wrote, “Excited to share that #Bramayugam will be screened as the only Indian film at the Academy Museum’s ‘Where the Forest Meets the Sea’ film series in Los Angeles on February 12, 2026. Another moment of pride for the entire team behind #Bramayugam!”
The Academy Museum also confirmed the announcement, stating: “‘Bramayugam’ [2024] [Malayalam], produced by Night Shift Studios & YNOT Studios and written & directed by Rahul Sadasivan, will screen at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. The screening will take place on February 12, 2026, as part of the Academy Museum’s ‘Where the Forest Meets the Sea: Folklore from Around the World’ film series, screening January 10–February 12.”
Bramayugam, released in February 2024, is a period folk-horror thriller that deep dives into Kerala’s sacred mysteries, myths and ancient folklore. Directed by Rahul Sadasivan, the film is the second chapter in his expanding horror universe following Bhoothakaalam (2022). Shot entirely in black-and-white, the film stars Mammootty in one of his most chilling performances, alongside Arjun Ashokan and Sidharth Bharathan.
The film drew widespread critical acclaim for its atmospheric world-building, genre-defying storytelling and Mammootty’s layered portrayal of Kodumon Potti. His performance earned him the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor — his seventh win in the category — further cementing the film’s cultural impact.
The Academy Museum recognition marks another milestone for Bramayugam, placing Malayalam cinema firmly on the global stage. The film’s inclusion in a series celebrating international folklore underscores its thematic depth, visual ambition and rooted storytelling.
With this honour, Bramayugam continues its journey from regional success to international recognition — a proud moment for Mammootty, the cast and crew, and Malayalam cinema as a whole.
