Sooraj Cherukat, also known as Hanumankind, will be making his acting debut in the upcoming Malayalam film Rifle Club, directed by Aashiq Abu. The makers announced the same on Sunday along with a character poster introducing him as Beera, wielding a gun. The Kerala-born rapper recently achieved a significant spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 with his globally acclaimed song 'Big Dawgs'.

Apart from Hanumankind, Rifle Club features an ensemble cast that includes Dileesh Pothan, Vishnu Agasthya, Vani Viswanath, Vijayaraghavan, Darshana Rajendran, Vincy Aloshious, Suresh Krishna, Vineeth Kumar, Ramzan Muhammed, Surabhi Lakshmi, Unnimaya Prasad, and directors Senna Hegde and Natesh Hegde. Also, ace Bollywood filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap is making his Malayalam debut with the film by reportedly playing a negative role.

Rifle Club is jointly scripted by Syam Pushkaran, Dileesh Karunakaran, Suhas, and Sharfu. The film's technical crew includes music director Rex Vijayan, editor V Saajan, production designer Ajayan Chalissery, sound designer Vishnu Govind and action choreographer Supreme Sundar. Aashiq is also doubling as the film's cinematographer. He has earlier wielded the camera for the upcoming film Lovely, helmed by Dileesh Karunakaran and headlined by Matthew Thomas.

Rifle Club is bankrolled by the director's home production OPM Cinemas in partnership with TRU Stories Entertainment.
