Given the number of Soubin Shahir projects being announced lately, it seems like he is turning out to be one of the busiest actors in Malayalam cinema. After the recently announced Siddarth Bharathan directorial Jinn, which will see the actor star alongside Nimisha Sajayan, Soubin has added one more film to his kitty.

The yet-untitled project has just started rolling at Cherthala, and will also feature Suraj Venjaramoodu, Vincy, Surabhi Santosh, Mamukoya, Baburaj, and Sudheer Karamana among others.

“As we don’t want to reveal some details yet, all we can say at the moment is that it will be a family drama. It’s a story based on real-life incidents. We are planning to launch the title and first-look poster in a few days,” says producer AD Sreekumar.

The team has planned a 40-day shoot in and around Kochi, and the film is produced jointly by Sreekumar with Ganesh Kumar and Lakshmi Warrier. The project, with cinematographer by Alby, will be the directorial debut of ad filmmaker MC Joseph.

Meanwhile, Soubin has completed filming for the Russia portions of his next film, Android Kunjappan ver 5.25. The remaining schedule of the Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval directorial will continue once Soubin finishes work in the MC Joseph film.

Last seen in Oru Yamandan Premakadha, Soubin will be next seen in Aashiq Abu’s Nipah-based thriller Virus, which arrives in theatres on June 7. Soubin is also part of Guppy director John Paul George’s Ambili. The film completed its shoot recently and is currently in the post-production phase.
