The duo intends to release Antima Kshana in theatres and a date is likely to be announced shortly.

Forensic is a wh odunit psychological crime thriller that revolves around Samuel John Kattukaran (Tovino), a police forensic personnel, who is assigned to a serial killer case in which the victims are little girls. Samuel joins Rithika Xavier (Mamta Mohandas), the chief investigating officer in the case, who also happens to be his brother’s ex-wife.
