The filmmakers have confirmed that Mohanlal has finished dubbing for his role in Patriot. Posting a video on the film’s official Instagram, the team wrote, "Some voices do not just speak, they define moments. Mohanlal has completed dubbing for Patriot. In Cinemas Worldwide from April 23."

In January, the makers announced the completion of shooting with the social media post: "That’s a wrap. Blood, sweat, belief. #PATRIOT marches on. See you on the Big screen." Behind-the-scenes footage featuring the cast was also released.

Expectations around Patriot have been high since its announcement, with the cast also including Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, and Revathy. The teaser, released last year, offered a glimpse into the film’s intense narrative and generated considerable attention.
