The investigation quickly spirals into chaos.
ZEE5 Global has confirmed the digital premiere of its latest action comedy, The Pet Detective, arriving on the platform for worldwide viewers from November 28.
The announcement was made on November 24, with the platform highlighting the film’s energetic storyline and strong appeal for South Asian audiences.
Directed by Praneesh Vijayan, the film stars Sharaf U Dheen in the lead and also marks his debut as a producer.
He appears alongside Vinayakan, Vinay Forrt, Anupama Parameswaran, Shyam Mohan and Joemon Jyothir, forming an ensemble cast packed with comic flair.
The film introduces Tony Jose Alula, played by Sharaf U Dheen, an underachieving but determined detective desperate to prove his abilities.
Tony accepts what seems like a simple missing pet case, hoping the assignment will finally validate his career.
However, the investigation quickly spirals into chaos as he becomes entangled in a string of unpredictable events involving international smugglers and a dangerous kidnapping plot.
The mayhem intensifies when the story expands to a missing child, a feared Mexican mafia don and a batch of fish that spark further confusion.
Tony also faces rivalry from a competitive police inspector who inconveniently competes with him for the same girl.
These twists set the stage for a whirlwind narrative driven by humour and eccentric personalities.
The Pet Detective blends wild coincidences, quirky characters and rapid-fire comedy to deliver a light-hearted ride for families and comedy fans.
Its high-voltage climax evokes the classic comedic rhythm often associated with celebrated filmmaker Priyadarshan.
Sharaf U Dheen expressed his pride in the project and reflected on the significance of taking on dual roles.
He said that the film felt particularly meaningful because it marked his transition into producing as well as acting.
He added that the team wanted to create something joyful, colourful and heartfelt that audiences could watch without overthinking.
Sharaf U Dheen explained that the film’s chaos was built to entertain while maintaining warmth and emotional sincerity.
He also shared his excitement about Malayalam-speaking audiences across the world being able to enjoy the film on ZEE5 Global.
The Pet Detective will begin streaming exclusively on ZEE5 Global from November 28.
Its release adds another lively title to the platform’s growing catalogue of multilingual entertainment.
ZEE5 Global continues to expand its offerings for South Asian viewers seeking diverse and culturally rooted stories.
As India’s largest homegrown streaming platform, ZEE5 reaches audiences across more than 190 countries.
