Identity is a 2025 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller film[3] written and directed by Akhil Paul and Anas Khan.
[5] Amar Felix, an employee at a clothing store, secretly records a woman in a changing room and blackmails her for money.
Weeks later, DYSP Dineshan is contacted by Malayali-Tamil CI Allen Jacob of the Karnataka Police, who has been assigned to investigate Amar's murder.
Dineshan offers them a safe house in his building, where Haran Shankar, a part-time karate instructor with OCD caused by an abusive father, lives with his sister Devika and half-sister Neerja.
Realizing his identity might be compromised, Haran attempts to break into Ann's house but is caught by his uncle Sudarshan, a doctor.
Four weeks earlier, Alisha Abdul Samad, a news presenter, had been informed by Nakul, a hacker, about Amar's crimes.
Seeking to expose him, she secretly entered Amar's warehouse but was caught in the fire set by Haran and fled, only to be struck by a truck, leading to her developing prosopagnosia.
Allen's backstory reveals he is a suspended officer who exploited the Witness Protection Scheme to sell new identities to criminals, including business magnate Chinappa.
Haran disables the flight's transponder, averting the crash thereby saving the lives of numerous passengers on board, but Allen manages to escape easily.
Tovino Thomas was cast in the lead role, marking his second collaboration with Anas Khan and Akhil Paul after Forensic.
