The Malayalam suspense thriller film **"Mirage"**, directed by Jeethu Joseph and starring Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali, is set for its OTT release on **SonyLIV on October 20, 2025**, following its theatrical release on September 19, 2025[1][3][5]. The plot revolves around **Abhirami (Aparna Balamurali)**, who embarks on a quest to find her missing fiancé, **Kiran (Hakim Shahjahan)**, uncovering dark secrets connected to his involvement with a financial consultancy. She teams up with **Aswin (Asif Ali)**, an online investigative journalist, and together they navigate a complex web of conspiracies, betrayals, and hidden truths. The film explores themes of illusion versus reality, reflective of its title "Mirage"[1][3][4]. The OTT release will feature multiple language options including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, and Bengali, making it accessible to a wider regional audience[3]. The film blends mystery and emotional drama, typical of Jeethu Joseph's style, and although it received mixed reviews and was a box-office failure, it is anticipated by fans of the genre and the lead actors[4][6]. Additional notes include Asif Ali's next project titled *TikiTaka*, slated for Christmas release[1].
