The highly anticipated trailer for the third instalment of the Aadu film series, helmed by Midhun Manuel Thomas, is here, offering glimpses of the fantasy action-comedy, which unfolds across multiple intertwined timelines.

The promo opens by taking us to a bygone era, where a king (Jayasurya) is talking about a secret weapon that “wields a force unknown to mankind.” The British describe it as the “Mysore Rocket,” and the king proclaims, “Throughout history, forces of darkness have pursued it.”

Soon, the trailer hints that the secret weapon’s power may have echoed across the centuries, opening a wormhole that connects disparate points in time.

As Arakkal Abu’s (Saiju Kurup) “Shajiyettaa!” call reverberates across the high range of Idukki, reminding one of Captain America’s (Chris Evans) “Avengers assemble,” but in 360p, Pappan and his gang realise that the time has come for the do-or-die endgame.

With Vinayakan, Sunny Wayne, Dharmajan Bolgatty, Indrans, and Vijay Babu, among others, reprising their respective roles from previous instalments, Aadu 3 is expected to be the biggest and most chaotic entry in the franchise thus far.

The two-part fantasy action-comedy features cinematography by Akhil George, music by Shaan Rahman, background score by Dawn Vincent, and editing by Lijo Paul. Aadu 3 will hit screens worldwide on Thursday, March 19, clashing with Geetu Mohandas’ Yash-starrer Toxic and Aditya Dhar’s Ranveer Singh-led Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
