Malayalam fantasy-action film 'I Am Game' will premiere on JioHotstar on November 6, 2026, two months after its theatrical release on September 3. Directed by Nahas Hidhayath and produced by Dulquer Salmaan and Jom Varghese under Wayfarer Films, the film stars Salmaan as Dan John, a businessman and gambling addict whose life changes dramatically after a road accident.

The plot centres on Dan John, who loses his right arm in a serious accident and undergoes a hand transplant. After surgery, he discovers the transplanted hand behaves independently, moving against his will and displaying unusual strength. He learns the hand belonged to Vicky, a celebrated cricketer who died under mysterious circumstances. With Vicky's consciousness seemingly connected to the hand, Dan finds himself entangled in a dangerous conflict involving Toni, a powerful figure controlling a cricket betting network.

The ensemble cast includes Antony Varghese as Vicky Das, Mysskin as antagonist David Abraham, and Kayadu Lohar as Isha, a physiotherapist who helps Dan manage his condition. Additional cast members include Kathir, Vinay Forrt, Samyuktha Viswanathan, and Parth Tiwari.
