After making waves with her performance in Irudhi Suttru and appearing in a special dance number in King of Kotha, actress Ritika Singh is finally set for a full-fledged Malayalam film debut. The actress has officially joined the star-studded cast of the upcoming action-thriller Operation Tral, headlined by Jayasurya.
The Big Leap
While Ritika Singh has previously graced Malayalam screens for a song sequence, Operation Tral marks her first substantial role in the industry. Her inclusion in the film was announced alongside the commencement of filming, which officially kicked off on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
The announcement has generated significant buzz, with fans eager to see how the National Award-winning actress will handle the intensity of a high-stakes military actioner.
About Operation Tral
Directed by composer-turned-filmmaker Ratheesh Vega, Operation Tral is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious projects in the Malayalam industry this year. The film is inspired by real-life intelligence missions and centres on a gripping narrative involving an Indian Army convoy ambush in Kashmir.
Jayasurya plays the lead as an NIA operative navigating the blurred lines between politics and patriotism. The film is produced by Joby George Thadathil under the Goodwill Entertainments banner and is planned as a pan-India release.
A Powerful Ensemble
Ritika Singh isn’t the only major addition to the film. The makers have confirmed a robust ensemble cast that includes Vinay Rai, Anegan-fame Amyra Dastur, Siddique, Saikumar, Nandu, and Anson Paul.
With filming now underway across various locations, the team is aiming for a grand cinematic experience. Given the mix of heavyweights in the cast and the gritty premise of the script, Operation Tral is already being positioned as a major contender for the year’s most intense thrillers.
