The plot revolves around a group of intelligence officers who deal with a high-stakes national security threat involving a lost nuclear device and a larger espionage conspiracy. The film's dismal theatrical run may be the reason for its early OTT release.
Those who saw the thriller in theatres had mixed reactions, with many praising the level of detail the makers put in to show justice to the genre. Nevertheless, Mr. X can be an intriguing watch for fans of this genre this weekend. The film's creators have already disclosed that the storyline was based on actual events.
The film was bankrolled by S Lakshman Kumar and Vineet Jain under the banners of Prince Pictures and Maverik Movies Pvt Ltd. It also features music by Dhibu Ninan Thomas, cinematography by Arul Vincent, and editing by Prasanna GK. It was released in theatres on April 17, 2026, and the screenplay was written by the director, Divyanka, and Raam H. Puthran. Other recent films that have been added to JioHotstar include Vaazha 2, Thaai Kizhavi, and Sambhavam Adhyayam Onnu.
