Taking to Twitter, the director Manu Anand wrote, "After years of waiting, I am glad that we get to present Mr X to you! I am grateful to my cast, crew and producers for trusting me with this film. Hope all of you will come to theatres to watch us on the 17th of April. Thank you #MrX."

Arya leads as the central spy figure. Gautham Karthik receives praise as the surprise package. Manju Warrier delivers powerful action sequences. Supporting actors including Anagha, R. Sarathkumar, Raiza Wilson and Athulya Ravi contribute well.
Dhibu Ninan Thomas music and background score get special mention for elevating key portions.The film revolves around secret intelligence operations tackling major national threats. It features high-octane action and clever twists. The cast also includes Jayaprakash and Kaali Venkat in notable roles. Manu Anand keeps the screenplay fast and engaging throughout, as per the early reviews.As the early reactions are positive, there seems to be a small hope for 'Mr X' to perform well at the box office.
