'Sarvam Maya' Teaser: Nivin Pauly Charms Amid Mystery & Music In Akhil Sathyan’s Fantasy Romance
The teaser of Nivin Pauly’s much-awaited film Sarvam Maya dropped on Friday, since it was the actor’s birthday, giving fans the perfect celebratory treat.
Clocking at 1 minute and 17 seconds, the teaser opens with a familiar chill — a sprawling mansion under a thunderous night sky, the echo of barking dogs, and the unmistakable air of suspense.

Within moments, the tone shifts to something warmer and whimsical — the charm of Nivin Pauly lighting up the screen, bridging mystery with music and mischief.
Akhil Sathyan, who previously helmed Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum, directs Sarvam Maya, which he describes as a musical romantic drama centred around a ghost, infused with fantasy, humour, and heart.
The teaser elegantly teases this tonal duality: we see glimpses of Nivin’s character exploring eerie corridors, followed by sunlit montages where he shares hearty laughter with Aju Varghese, his frequent on-screen collaborator.
The brief yet evocative teaser hints at a story where love, longing, and the supernatural intertwine — all wrapped in Akhil’s signature warmth.
Apart from Nivin and Aju, the film features a strong ensemble cast including Preity Mukhundhan, Janardhanan, Madhu Warrier, Althaf Salim, and Aattam director Anand Ekarshi.

On the technical front, Akhil Sathyan has retained his trusted core team from his debut film. Sharan Velayudhan handles the cinematography, Justin Prabhakaran scores the music, Rajeevan leads production design, and Anil Radhakrishnan manages sound design. The teaser’s clean aesthetic and layered soundscape reflect their creative synergy, blending realism with a touch of fantasy.
Produced by Dr Ajayya Kumar and Rajeev Menon under the banners Fire Fly Films and Akhil Sathyan Films, Sarvam Maya is confirmed for a worldwide theatrical release on December 25, 2025, promising to make Christmas “delulu,” as the tagline playfully suggests.
The film’s distribution is handled by Central Pictures (Kerala), AP International (Rest of India), Home Screen Entertainment (GCC), and Berkshire Dream House (Non-GCC).
The teaser’s release also coincided with the unveiling of birthday special posters for Nivin’s other upcoming projects, Baby Girl and Dear Students.
The actor’s impressive lineup further includes the Tamil films Benz and Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai, and the JioHotstar web series Pharma — making 2025 a busy and exciting year for the star.
