The Pet Detective OTT Release: When and where to watch Sharaf U Dheen’s Malayalam action comedy online

Sharaf U Dheen’s Malayalam action comedy, The Pet Detective, is all set for its OTT debut. After a successful theatrical run, the film will premiere on Zee5 on November 28, 2025, giving viewers the chance to stream the movie from the comfort of their homes. Directed by Praneesh Vijayan and co-written with Jai Vishnu, the film marks Sharaf U Dheen’s debut as a producer.

The movie features an ensemble cast including Sharaf U Dheen, Anupama Parameswaran, Vinayakan, Vinay Forrt, Shyam Mohan, Joemon Jyothir, Bhagath Manuel, Vijayaraghavan, Renji Panicker, Shobi Thilakan, Nishanth Sagar, and P.P. Kunhikrishnan. Sharaf plays Tony Jose Alula, a young man deeply in love with Kaikeyi, portrayed by Anupama Parameswaran. To win over her strict father, Tony takes up a job as a pet detective.

Here’s what to expect from the plot

What begins as a simple case of lost pets soon spirals into an unexpected adventure. Tony finds himself entangled with an international mafia, facing dangerous situations mixed with comedy and chaos. The film blends action and humor effectively, making it a light-hearted entertainer for Malayalam cinema fans.

Critics praised the film for its performances, especially Sharaf U Dheen, Joemon Jyothir, and Anupama Parameswaran. The humor, music, screenplay, editing, and direction by Praneesh Vijayan were also highlighted in positive reviews. The film received a U certificate from the CBFC in India and a 12A rating from the BBFC in the UK, noting moderate violence, threats, some injury details, and implied strong language.

Originally scheduled to release on April 25, 2025, the film was postponed to October 16, 2025, to avoid clashing with the movie Thudarum. It released in India and on limited screens in the UK, Ireland, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain on the same day. The theatrical success of the film has now paved the way for its OTT release, making it accessible to a wider audience.

Chiranjeevi graces Spirit muhurat puja, Sandeep Reddy Vanga says, ‘Prabhas anna’s hands were…’

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s much-awaited cop action drama with Rebel star Prabhas officially went on the floors today, on November 23. The shoot began with a traditional muhurat puja in the presence of the cast and crew. Megastar Chiranjeevi graced the auspicious occasion as the guest of honour. 

T-Series Films, which is backing the highly anticipated project, shared the official pictures on their social media handles and wrote, “Shoot prarambham! India’s biggest superstar Prabhas’s “SPIRIT” goes ON FLOORS today! A monumental beginning, produced by Bhushan Kumar and helmed by blockbuster director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the muhurat puja witnessed the presence of Prabhas, Triptii Dimri, Bhushan Kumar, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Pranay Reddy Vanga & Shiv Chanana, with Megastar Chiranjeevi joining as the special guest of honour. A historic cinematic journey begins now. #Spirit #OneBadHabit.”

The team smartly kept Prabhas’ presence at the event a secret. Later on, Sandeep Reddy Vanga shared a special picture where Prabhas’ hands were shown holding the clapboard. The Animal director wrote, “Dear fans… I thought PRABHAS anna’s hands were enough to EXCITE YOU ALL…… So on this muhurath day, I’m posting this for you — with gratitude and love. SPIRIT.”

Speculations are rife that the makers are hiding Prabhas to keep his character’s look for Spirit under wraps. Reports suggest that Prabhas underwent a rigorous physical transformation for his cop role in Spirit. His look will be something that fans have never seen before.

For the unversed, Spirit stars Prabhas in the lead role of a police officer. The movie has Triptii Dimri as the female lead, while Vivek Oberoi, Prakash Raj and Kanchana are playing the other key roles. There have been rumours of Korean actor Don Lee joining the cast of Spirit; however, no official confirmation has been made on the same. As of now, Spirit is locked for a grand 2026 theatrical release.
