The almost two-minute trailer of Kalamkaval opens with an SJ Ethan's quote: “The venom beneath can’t be suppressed forever.” Then we see the recreation of TV show Vallathoru Katha, hosted by investigative journalist Babu Ramachandran. The host recalls a fight between two young men in the border town of Kottayikkonam, lying between Thiruvananthapuram and Tamil Nadu. Soon, the fight turns into a communal riot between two local communities.

Vinayakan plays a police officer who is investigating the case. Nothing much about the plot is revealed in the trailer, but it promises to be have a gripping narrative.

Towards the end of the trailer, we get a glimpse of Mammootty's character. His face is hidden in the shadows and as he smokes, he asks, “Do you know what gives the greatest pleasure when you kill it?”, which suggests that he will play a dark role in Kalamkaval.

The film also stars Jibin Gopinath and Rajisha Vijayan, in significant roles. Earlier, there were reports that Kalamkaval is based on the life and crimes of serial killer “Cyanide Mohan,” who was convicted of murdering 20 women between 2003-2009. But nothing has been confirmed yet by the film's team.

Faisal Ali has done the cinematographer, while Praveen Prabhakar has taken care of the editing. Music has been composed by Mujeeb Majeed.
