If you missed Daveed in theatres, here’s some great news—this exciting Malayalam sports drama is all set to premiere on ZEE5 on April 18, 2025! Directed by first-time filmmaker Govind Vishnu, Daveed stars Antony Varghese Pepe in the lead role, with Lijomol Jose and Saiju Kurup playing important characters. Set in the vibrant streets of Fort Kochi, this film promises a powerful mix of action, emotions, and humor.
What is Daveed About?
Daveed tells the story of Aashiq Abu, a former boxing champion played by Antony Varghese. Once full of potential, Abu now leads a quiet, simple life in the slums of Fort Kochi with his wife (Lijomol Jose) and young daughter. His days are slow and uneventful—until everything changes.
Abu is hired to work as a personal bodyguard for Sainul Akhmadov, an international boxing star. But a serious mishap during this job forces Abu to face his past and return to the boxing world he left behind. His journey takes him to Pooladikunnu, a rugged village known for its intense boxing training.
As he starts to train again, fighting both his inner demons and physical limits, Abu sets out on a path of redemption. Just when he feels ready to reclaim his lost glory, a shocking twist puts everything at risk. Can he rise to the challenge and make a comeback—or will this be the fight he can’t win?
