The filming of Odiyan, which was supposed to start in August, was postponed to September.  The movie has Mohanlal playing Manikyan, a member of the Odiyan tribe. The movie, with elements of magical realism, will also have Manju Warrier playing a significant role. As per reports, action choreographer Peter Hein has already flown down to join the sets of Odiyan.
