Said to be the biggest Malayalam film in terms of the budget and expanse, the project showcases the martial art of Kalaripayattu. The project, scheduled for later this year, will release in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
Being directed by M Padmakumar, the film also stars Prachi Tehlan, Malavika Menon, Neeraj Madhav, Unni Mukundan, Prachi Desai and Kaniha among others.
The film was originally supposed to be directed Sajeev Pillai, who even shot the first schedule. However, he was removed by the makers for going overboard with the budget in the second schedule and was subsequently replaced by veteran Padmakumar.
In an interview to The Times of India, Mammootty said about the film, “The challenge in the film is to meld the graphics with the original visuals so that the audience cannot distinguish between the two.”
