Previously referred to as "MMMN" during production, the title Patriot was coincidentally leaked out by Sri Lanka Tourism and later authentic confirmed by Mohanlal. This marks the official beginning of the film's public journey.
Besides Mammootty and Mohanlal, Patriot comprises a well-formed supporting cast of Nayanthara, Fahadh Faasil, Kunchacko Boban, Darshana Rajendran, Revathi, Zarin Shihab, and Grace Antony, thereby suggesting a narrative depth and scale rarely attempted in Malayalam cinema.
