We earlier reported that actor Bhavana is teaming up with director Shaji Kailas for Hunt. The film's production commenced on Wednesday in Palakkad.

Sharing the photos of the pooja ceremony, Shaji wrote, "Hunt starts rolling. Need all your support and prayers.” The film is billed as a suspense thriller set in the backdrop of a medical college. It may be noted that Bhavana's last film with Shaji Kailas, Chinthamani Kolacase (2006), was also a thriller set in a similar backdrop.

Hunt, scripted by debutant Nikhil Anand, also stars Aditi Ravi, Chandhunadh, Ajmal Ameer, Rahul Madhav, G Suresh Kumar, Renji Panicker and Nandu, among others. Bhavana is said to play a PG resident doctor Keerthy in Hunt. Produced by Jayalakshmi Films, the film has cinematography by Jackson and music by Kailas Menon. Meanwhile, Bhavana has Ntikkakkakkoru Premandaarnnu which is expected to hit the theatres soon. The film, also starring Sharafudheen in the lead, is directed by debutant Adhil Maimoonath Asharaf. On the other hand, Shaji Kailas' Kaapa is currently running in the theatres and garnering positive responses.
