Anupama Parameswaran’s The ‘Pet Detective OTT’ Release Announced

The digital premiere of the high-energy action-comedy The Pet Detective has been officially announced. The film will begin streaming on November 28 in Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Hindi on Zee5.

Directed by Praneesh Vijayan, the movie features Sharaf U Dheen in the lead role, who also marks his debut as a producer. The ensemble cast includes Vinayakan, Vinay Forrt, Anupama Parameswaran, Shyam Mohan, and Joemon Jyothir.

The Pet Detective revolves around Tony Jose Alula (Sharaf U Dheen), an underachieving yet determined detective who takes up a simple missing-pet case to prove himself. What starts as a routine job soon turns into a chaotic adventure involving international smugglers, kidnappers, a missing child, a Mexican mafia don, exotic fish, and even a rival police inspector competing for the same girl.

Filled with humour, eccentric characters, wild coincidences, and a classic high-voltage comedy climax reminiscent of Priyadarshan-style entertainers, the film promises a fun, fast-paced watch for families and comedy lovers.

Sharing his excitement, Sharaf U Dheen said, “The Pet Detective is very special to me, not just as an actor but because it marks my debut as a producer. We wanted to make a film that audiences can simply laugh with, without overthinking. It’s chaotic, colourful, and full of heart.”
