The much anticipated Puzhu, starring Mammootty and Parvathy Thiruvoth, is gearing up for release. The film, directed by Ratheena, has cleared censors with a 'U' certificate.

Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films is backing the film jointly with S George's Cyn-Cyl Celluloid. With the former handling distribution, Puzhu marks the first collaboration of the father-son duo. Besides, the film has already generated a strong buzz considering the first-time team-up of Mammootty and Parvathy.

After kickstarting the careers of numerous successful directors in Malayalam, Mammootty is launching a woman director for the first time through Puzhu.

Harshad, Sharfu, and Suhas has written the screenplay from a story by Harshad. Theni Eshwar has cranked the camera while Deepu Joseph handles the edits. Jakes Bejoy is in charge of the film's soundtrack.
