After the success of Aanandam, director Ganesh Raj is helming a film titled Pookkaalam. It stars Vijayaraghavan and KPAC Leela as the leads. After shooting for 37 days, the makers have wrapped up the shoot.

The filmmaker also added that he has been working on the film's script for four years with the pre-production alone taking up a year.

Pookkaalam also stars Basil Joseph, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Suhasini Maniratnam, Jagadish, Johny Antony, Abu Salim, Annu Antony, Roshan Mathew, Sarasa Balussery, Arun Kurian, Sarath Sabha, and Aristo Suresh among others. The film has Anend C Chandran as the cinematographer and music by Sachin Warrier. It is produced by Vinod Shornur and Thomas Thiruvalla.
