Thankam trailer: Syam Pushkaran attempts a thriller this time

The trailer of Vineeth Sreenivasan-Biju Menon starrer Thankam dropped on Tuesday. Directed by Saheed Arafath, the film looks like a thriller set in the backdrop of the gold business in Tamil Nadu. National award winner Syam Pushkaran is scripting the film, and this is perhaps his first full-fledged thriller attempt.

In the trailer, Vineeth Sreenivasan is a man on the run with some 'items', and an investigation team from Mumbai is behind him. Bollywood actor Girish Kulkarni, noted for his roles in films like Ugly and Dangal, plays a prominent role as a cop who heads the investigation. Parallelly, there's Biju Menon and Vineeth Thattil, who also seem to be on the lookout for Vineeth Sreenivasan. Aparna Balamurali also makes a brief appearance as Vineeth's wife in the 2.31-long video. 

Here is the video: 

The technical crew of Thankam includes cinematographer Gautham Sankar, composer Bijibal and editor Kiran Das. It is produced by Fahadh Faasil, Dileesh Pothan, and Syam Pushkaran under the banner of Bhavana Studios. The film is set to hit screens on January 26.
