Jayasurya has joined the sets of Mayan - Chapter 1, the makers announced through social media, sharing a behind-the-scenes video of the actor from the ongoing shoot.
The Kerala schedule of the mystery thriller is currently underway in Peermade, Kottayam. The film's foreign schedule was completed in Russia earlier this month.
Directed by Jithin K Jose, Mayan marks his second directorial venture after the Mammootty-starrer Kalanakaval. The upcoming film explores the lesser-known ritual of vipareetha aaraadhana and other obscure traditions believed to exist in Kerala. The film also stars Nyla Usha, Vijay Babu, Officer On Duty actor Aiswarya Raj and Dies Irae-fame Jibin Gopinath in prominent roles. The screenplay has been co-written by Jithin and veteran filmmaker Raffi.
Mayan reunites Jithin with several members of his Kalanakaval technical team, including cinematographer Faisal Ali, music director Mujeeb Majeed and editor Praveen Prabhakar. The film is produced by Rajeev Govindan under the banner of Magic Moon Productions.
