Nivin Pauly Sets Christmas Ablaze With Spooks And …

Nivin Pauly has officially kicked off the festive hype, announcing on X that his next film, Sarvam Maya, will hit theatres on December 25th. With the cheeky caption, “Fun is about to get spooky!”, the actor promises a Christmas packed with chills, chuckles, and a touch of the supernatural. And judging by the poster he dropped — featuring Nivin, Aju Varghese, and Janardhanan in spiritual getups inside a temple-like backdrop — the film seems ready to blend mysticism with mischief.

Directed by Akhil Sathyan, Sarvam Maya marks Nivin’s leap into full-fledged horror-comedy fantasy territory, a genre fans have long wanted to see him explore. After carving a legacy with beloved performances in films like Premam, Action Hero Biju, and Hey Jude, the actor looks set to embrace something wilder, weirder, and wonderfully entertaining. The poster’s aesthetic — part divine, part chaotic — hints at a story where rituals meet ridiculousness and spirits collide with slapstick.

Also starring Aju Varghese, Preity Mukundhan, and a lively supporting cast, Sarvam Maya is backed by Firefly Films, known for their quirky, heartfelt productions. With Aju’s comic timing and Nivin’s effortless charm, the film seems poised to find that sweet spot between eerie and hilarious — the kind of movie where a temple bell might summon a ghost… or just the next joke.

The announcement comes at a time when Malayalam cinema is thriving in genre experimentation, and Sarvam Maya feels like a bold addition to that streak. The tagline alone — “Fun is about to get spooky!” — sets the tone: this isn’t horror that keeps you up at night, but horror that keeps you laughing through the jump scares.

As Christmas approaches, fans can expect magic, mayhem, and a whole lot of Nivin-style mischief. If the poster’s energy is anything to go by, Sarvam Maya is shaping up to be a festive treat with a supernatural twist.
