Aaraattu, the upcoming Mohanlal-B Unnikrishnan film, is nearing completion and, as per reports, AR Rahman will appear in the film in a pivotal scene.

The big-budget film, which has Shraddha Srinath as the female lead, has a few portions left to be shot. Key segments of the film have already been wrapped up in Ottappalam and Ooty.

If the news of Rahman's involvement is true, then Aaraattu will mark his reunion with Mohanlal after 29 years. Rahman composed the music for the actor's blockbuster, Yodha, directed by Sangeeth Sivan. Rahman is also reportedly composing the score for the Prithviraj-Blessy film Aadujeevitham.

Scripted by Pulimurugan-fame Udayakrishna, Aaraattu has music by Rahul Raj and cinematography by Vijay Ulaganath. Shammeer Muhammed is the editor.

Nedumudi Venu, Sai Kumar, Siddique, Vijayaraghavan, Indrans, Johny Antony, Sheela, Rachana Narayanankutty and Swasika are also part of the cast of film. 

B Unnikrishnan's RD Illuminations is jointly producing the film with Sajeesh Manjery.
