The much-hyped Mammotty-Lijo Jose Pellissery film Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam will hit the theatres on January 19.

Earlier, the film premiered at the 27th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK). According to IFFK, Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam "follows a drama troupe returning from their pilgrimage in their bus, eventually falling asleep after a good meal. The lead character James hastily stops the bus to retreat into a village, where he attaches himself to the soul of Sundaram, living his life as Sundaram all of a sudden, caught between the act is the two families who can only watch from the frontlines, unwittingly attending to his presence. Slowly coming to terms that he's indwelling James, Sundaram is left shaken that life itself had gone ahead without him."

Produced by Mammootty's home banner, Mammootty Kampany, the film stars Ramya Pandian, Ashokan, and Rajesh Sharma. The film's technical crew includes DOP Theni Eswar, editor Deepu Joseph and art director Gokul Das.
