The production of Vellam, the second film of Jayasurya with director Prajesh Sen, is progressing smoothly, and the makers have now released the first look.

The film's first look shows the actor in the look of a mason. Samyuktha Menon plays the female lead in the film that Jayasurya calls the most "challenging" of his career.

In a statement, he wrote, "The protagonist in Vellam is the most challenging character I've done so far. Vellam is about the unique past of an individual who lives amongst us. I'm sure there is someone like him in our family or friends."

The film holds much promise as Jayasurya had won a Kerala State award for his performance in Captain, which was the biopic of late football captain VP Sathyan. The supporting cast of Vellam includes Dileesh Pothan, Siddique, and Jaffer Idukki, among others.

Roby Varghese Raj is handling the camera, Bijith Bala the editing and Bijibal the music. Vellam is produced by Friendly Productions.
