Directed by Praneesh Vijayan, The Pet Detective features Sharaf U Dheen in the lead role, marking his debut as producer, alongside a talented ensemble cast including Vinayakan, Vinay Forrt, Anupama Parameswaran, Shyam Mohan, and Joemon Jyothir. The film follows Tony Jose Alula (Sharaf U Dheen), an underachieving but determined detective who takes on a simple missing-pet case to prove himself. Anupama Parameswaran plays Kaikeyi, his love interest. In an attempt to win over Kaikeyi's father, Tony becomes a pet detective. What begins as a routine assignment quickly spirals into a chaotic chain of events involving international smugglers, kidnappers, a missing child, a Mexican mafia don, exotic fish, and a competitive police inspector vying for the same girl.

With its humour, eccentric characters, wild coincidences and a classic, high-voltage comedy climax reminiscent of Priyadarshan's style, 'The Pet Detective' offers a fun, fast-paced entertainer for families and comedy lovers alike.

The film was released in theatres on October 16. It was released on the big screen along with Rima Kallingal's critically praised film Theatre and Navya Nair's cop drama Paathirathri, which also starred Soubin Shahir. Sharf U Dheen and Anupama-starrer did better than both the other releases at the box office. The Pet Detective is now anticipated to reach a wider audience thanks to its digital release soon. The other two films have not yet been released on OTT.

The producer and lead actor, Sharaf U Dheen said, "The Pet Detective is very special to me, not just as an actor, but because it marks my debut as a producer. We wanted to make a film that audiences can simply laugh with, without overthinking. It's chaotic, colourful and full of heart. I'm thrilled that viewers across can now enjoy it on Malayalam ZEE5."
