After working with Prithviraj in Ranam, Jakes Bejoy has joined the actor’s new film, Ayyappanum Koshiyum.

The Sachy-directorial will have Prithviraj sharing the screen with Biju Menon for the second time after Anarkali, Sachy’s debut. Prithviraj will play a retired army officer, while Biju will play a sub-inspector in this mass action film.

The shoot is expected to begin next month in and around Attapadi. Sachy’s friend, Sasidharan, and director Ranjith are jointly bankrolling the film. Sudeep Elamon (Sleeplessly Yours) will be in charge of the cinematography.

Prithviraj is currently shooting for director Lal Jr’s Driving License, which also has Suraj Venjaramoodu in a pivotal part. Biju is slated to appear in Vellimoonga-director Jibu Jacob’s Adhyarathri and Rajeev Ravi’s Thuramukham.

Apart from Ayyappanum Koshiyum, Jakes has Santhosh Sivan’s Jack & Jill, Tovino Thomas’ 563 St. Charles Street, and Jayasurya’s Anveshanam coming up next.
