Martin Prakkat's eagerly anticipated thriller Nayattu is confirmed for release on April 8. The film, also starring Joju George and Nimisha Sajayan, sees Prakkat returning to the director's chair after five years.

Nayattu has a script from policeman-turned-screenwriter Shahi Kabir, who made his debut with the Joju George-starrer Joseph.

In Nayattu, the three actors essay police officers. Anjaam Pathira-fame Shyju Khalid has cranked the camera, while CU Soon maker Mahesh Narayanan is the film's editor.

Martin Prakkat, who last directed Dulquer Salmaan in Charlie, has jointly produced Nayattu with Ranjith and P Sasidharan's Gold Coin Motion Picture Company.
