Aashiq Abu's take on Vaikom Mohammed Basheer's screenplay of Bhargavi Nilayam - based on the author's Neelavelicham - went on floors in Pinarayi, Thalassery.
The film, which had earlier Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kunchacko Boban attached to star, is now moving ahead with the updated cast of Tovino Thomas, Roshan Mathew, Rima Kallingal, Shine Tom Chacko and Rajesh Madhavan, among others.
'Neelavelicham' is a remake of the 1964 film Bhargavinilayam, scripted by Vaikom Mohammad Basheer and directed by Vincent Master and starring Madhu, Prem Nazeer, Vijayanirmala, Adoor Bhasi and Kuthiravattam Pappu.
