Nivin Pauly Gears Up for a Genre-Hopping Comeback with Baby Girl, The Ghost Story, and Benz

Nivin Pauly is diving headfirst into a packed slate of films that promise to mark a thrilling new chapter in his career. From intense thrillers to genre-bending narratives and a possible turn as an antagonist, the actor’s upcoming roles showcase his versatility and reinvention.

The first among these is ‘Baby Girl’, a thriller directed by Garudan fame Arun Varma, which has officially completed its shoot. Nivin announced the wrap via his Instagram story, confirming the end of production on the much-anticipated project. The film, which initially had Kunchacko Boban in the lead, saw Nivin step in after a last-minute casting change. With a story penned by the renowned screenwriting duo Bobby and Sanjay, Baby Girl is expected to deliver a gripping narrative packed with emotional depth and tension. The cast also includes Lijomol Jose, Aditi Ravi, and Sangeeth Prathap in key roles.

With Baby Girl behind him, Nivin is now preparing for his next venture—‘The Ghost Story’, the second directorial by Akhil Sathyan. The film, currently in its second shooting schedule in Ottapalam, reportedly weaves in fantasy elements and marks a complete tonal shift from Nivin’s last outing. While plot details remain under wraps, fans are eager to see what this collaboration delivers.

And that’s not all. Nivin is also rumored to take on a negative role in the upcoming LCU film Benz, headlined by Raghava Lawrence. The makers teased his involvement with a cryptic message on social media: “You are ‘N’ot Ready for this. That’s it. That’s the clue.” If confirmed, this marks Nivin’s debut as a villain in a cinematic universe, adding another intriguing layer to his evolving filmography.

Fresh off the success of Varshangalkku Shesham, where he played the endearing Nithin Molly, Nivin Pauly’s diverse choices underline a phase of bold experimentation. With Baby Girl, The Ghost Story, and Benz, the actor seems ready to reclaim his spotlight with performances that surprise, engage, and challenge expectations.
