Panthadikkaam on Zee 5: Mammootty and Vysakh Perambra Bring Football and Courage Together

Kerala’s love for football is not limited to packed stadiums or major tournaments. It can be seen on village grounds, in spirited local matches and in people who refuse to leave the game behind. Panthadikkaam, formerly known as Ground Zero, is an upcoming Malayalam football-themed title that aims to capture this powerful connection.

Featuring Mammootty and Indian amputee footballer Vysakh Perambra, the project brings together star presence and a deeply inspiring sporting journey. Viewers can now watch Panthadikkaam streaming on Zee 5.

What Is Panthadikkaam About

What if losing a leg could not stop a football dream?

Panthadikkaam explores Kerala’s deep love for football through Vysakh Perambra, who returned to the field after losing his right leg in a teenage accident. He later captained the Indian Amputee Football Team and earned an AIFF D coaching licence.

Featuring Mammootty, the project promises an inspiring story of courage, ambition and resilience. Zee 5 has yet to reveal whether it will be a film, documentary, series or special programme.
