Its official trailer, which was released on September 29, shows an old man narrating the tale of a land that has always been filled with animals. The film revolves around a buffalo escaping in a village and the frenzy violence followed by.

Directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, Jallikattu features Sabumon Abdusamad, Santhy Balachandran, Chemban Vinod Jose and Antony Varghese in the lead roles.
