The much-anticipated Malayalam film Maine Pyar Kiya has officially unveiled its first look,teasing a thrilling and laughter-filled cinematic journey that blends romance, comedy, and suspense.

Known for championing content-rich commercial cinema, Spire continues its legacy with this genre-bending entertainer.
The first look poster is both striking and packed with narrative hints. Hridu Haroon and Preethi Mukundan appear blood-stained and stoic against a richly designed red floral backdrop. Hridu, rugged in a disheveled mundu and vibrant shirt, bears bruises like badges of survival, while Preethi, draped in a pristine white gown, wields a bloodied machete with chilling composure. The poster is a masterclass in contrast,merging innocence with violence, and humor with tension setting the stage for an emotional rollercoaster laced with romance and chaos.

Their chemistry is set to bring freshness and spark to the narrative.
