The first look of Vijay Sethupathi’s Malayalam debut Marconi Mathai was released online yesterday. The film, starring Jayaram and Athmiya in lead roles, will have Sethupathi playing himself in an extended cameo appearance.

Touted as a light-hearted film, the shooting of Marconi Mathai commenced in January. It is notable that Sethupathi will be speaking in both Tamil and Malayalam in the film. The actor was in Ernakulam recently to film his portions.

Directed by Sanil Kalathil, the film tells the love story of a security guard, Mathai (Jayaram), and a sweeper, Anna (Athmiya). The script has been penned jointly by Sanil and Rejissh Midhila (Varikkuzhiyile Kolapathakam).

Jayaram’s latest release was My Great Grandfather, while Athmiya was last seen in Joseph, as the wife of Joju George’s character. Aside from Marconi Mathai, Jayaram will be seen next in Kannan Thamarakulam’s Pattabhiraman.
