On Friday, ZEE5 announced the digital premiere of the high-energy Malayalam action-comedy titled The Pet Detective. The film starring Sharaf U Dheen and Anupama Parmeswaran in the lead will be available for streaming on the platform from November 28.
Directed by Praneesh Vijayan, The Pet Detective features Sharaf U Dheen in the lead role, marking his debut as producer, alongside a talented ensemble cast including Vinayakan, Vinay Forrt, Anupama Parameswaran, Shyam Mohan, and Joemon Jyothir. The film follows Tony Jose Alula (Sharaf U Dheen), an underachieving but determined detective who takes on a simple missing-pet case to prove himself. Anupama Parameswaran plays Kaikeyi, his love interest. In an attempt to win over Kaikeyi`s father, Tony becomes a pet detective. What begins as a routine assignment quickly spirals into a chaotic chain of events involving international smugglers, kidnappers, a missing child, a Mexican mafia don, exotic fish, and a competitive police inspector vying for the same girl.
