Recently, Prithviraj shared a younger-looking image of himself from the film with the caption “AAMIR – The story that was…! #KHALIFA.” He plays Aamir Ali in the movie.

On his birthday last year, the actor released a glimpse video and described the story as “a revenge forged by a lineage that spans generations.” The teaser opens with a news bulletin announcing that police and customs officials have unearthed a multi-million-dollar gold-smuggling racket operating out of the Middle East through networks in London, Nepal and Kerala.

In the sequence, an elderly man is interrogated by a customs official named Panicker, who claims that Aamir is finished and can be jailed under the COFEPOSA Act. The interrogated man responds by recounting the historical origins of the legislation, linking it to figures such as Sukur Naren Bakhia, Haji Mastan, Mudaliar and Mambaraykkal Ahmed Ali, and identifies Aamir as the grandson of Ahmed Ali.

The glimpse then shifts to action sequences featuring Prithviraj, suggesting a thriller built around high-stakes chase and stunt set-pieces.

With character posters continuing to roll out and the theatrical release scheduled for 20 August 2026, Khalifa is positioning itself as a major Onam-window action drama.
