We had earlier reported about Jyotika making her comeback to Malayalam cinema with Kaathal opposite Mammootty. Directed by Jeo Baby, the film's shoot is currently progressing at a brisk pace. Jyotika's husband actor Suriya visited the sets on Wednesday. Photos from his interaction with Mammootty and Jyotika are currently doing the rounds on social media. 

Earlier, when the project was announced, Suriya tweeted wishing luck to Jyotika, Mammootty, and the whole team of Kaathal. The film marks Jyotika's return to Malayalam after a long gap. Her last Malayalam release was the TK Rajeev Kumar directorial Seetha Kalyanam (2009).

Kaathal, scripted by Adarsh Sukumaran and Paulson Skaria, has Mammootty playing a politician named Mathew Devassy, a left-representing election candidate. The film also stars Lalu Alex, Muthumani, Chinnu Chandni, Sudhi Kozhikode, Anagha Akku, Josi Sijo and Adarsh Sukumaran.

Mammootty's home production banner Mammootty Kampany is backing the film, and Dulquer Salmaan's Wayfarer Films will be distributing it. Cinematographer Salu K Thomas, editor Francies Louis and music director Mathews Pulickal form the core technical team.
