In a conversation with Cinema Express, Nithin said the film is not connected to Lelam, as speculated earlier. The as-yet-untitled film is said to be an action family drama telling a story of two generations. Lal will be essaying a powerful character in the film.
Irupathiyonnaam Noottaandu-fame Zaya David will be playing an integral character as well. Muthumani, IM Vijayan, Sujith Sankar, Alencier, and Kannan Rajan P Dev are also part of the cast.
Joby George, who backed Kasaba, Abrahaminte Santhathikal, and the upcoming Mammootty-starrer Shylock, is bankrolling the project under his banner Goodwill Entertainments. The title and first-look poster will be released soon.
National award-winner Nikhil S Praveen (Bhayanakam) will be behind the camera with Mansoor Muthootti handling the editing and Ranjin Raj the music.
