Pluto cast guide: Neeraj Madhav, Althaf Salim and every confirmed role

The Pluto cast brings together Neeraj Madhav, Althaf Salim, Aju Varghese and Aarsha Chandini Baiju for a Malayalam alien comedy with a large supporting ensemble. Neeraj plays Vicky, the man pulled into the visitor’s orbit, while Althaf plays the alien at the centre of the story.

Several supporting character names are now public, but the film has not revealed every actor’s role. This guide separates the named characters from the still-undisclosed parts and connects them to the film’s July 30 theatrical release.

Neeraj Madhav plays Vicky

Neeraj Madhav leads Pluto as Vicky. He is the human point of entry into the film’s unusual premise, with his life changing after he encounters an extraterrestrial visitor.

The trailer positions Vicky inside a recognisably local world before the alien arrival turns that reality upside down. That gives Neeraj the job of grounding the science-fiction setup while the comedy grows around him.

Althaf Salim plays the alien

Althaf Salim plays the alien visitor. The visitor is also the figure that gives the film its title: promotional coverage calls him Pluto, while the current cast credit labels the role simply as Alien.

His arrival in Kerala supplies the movie’s central collision between the ordinary and the interstellar. The trailer presents the character as a source of humour and disruption, but the film is also being framed as an adventure with emotional stakes rather than a sketch built around one joke.

Aarsha Chandini Baiju and Aju Varghese are key cast members

Aarsha Chandini Baiju is among Pluto’s prominently billed actors, but her character name has not been announced. She appears throughout the film’s official campaign alongside the principal cast.

Aju Varghese also has a prominent part. The first glimpse drew attention to his transformed appearance, but the public cast listing does not yet attach a character name to him. Until the film or its makers name the role, the character remains undisclosed.

The named supporting characters

Four supporting actors currently have character names attached to their credits:

• Vineeth Thattil David plays Mallan.
• Subin Tarzan plays Jose.
• Nihal Nizam plays Naveen.
• Nimna Fathoomi plays Jomol.

The film has not released detailed character biographies for those roles, so their relationships to Vicky and the alien are best left to the movie rather than expanded into unsupported plot descriptions.

Other confirmed Pluto cast members

The wider ensemble includes Vipin Atley, Dinesh Prabhakar, Thushara Pillai, Zaheer Muhammed and Advaith Ajayan. Their character names have not been announced.

That distinction matters for Pluto because the trailer uses costumes and genre imagery that can make a character look easy to label. Billing order, makeup and a single shot are not enough to turn an unnamed part into a reliable character description.

Who directed and wrote Pluto?

Adithyan Chandrashekar directs Pluto. The writing credits list Niyas Muhammed, Nithiraj and Anandhu S. Raj. Reju Kumar and Resmi Reju are credited as producers, and Orchid Films International is the production company attached to the film.

Arcado and Neeraj Madhav are listed for music, Vishnu Sarma is the cinematographer, Sanath Sivaraj is the editor, and Stephy Zaviour is the costume designer.

When can you watch the Pluto cast on screen?

Pluto will release in cinemas worldwide on July 30, 2026. Its OTT platform and streaming date have not been announced. For the trailer, release rollout and current streaming status, see the full Pluto release-date guide.
