Vinay Forrt, Sharaf U Dheen, Lijomol Jose and Priyamvada Krishnan are headlining the upcoming Malayalam feature Samshayam. Slated to hit theatres soon, the film was announced on Tuesday via social media, accompanied by a motion poster. The artwork features two illustrated roosters facing each other, with two eggs placed between them.
Written and directed by debutant Rajesh Ravi, Samshayam is described as a "fun-filled family entertainer bursting with humour and surprises." On the technical front, the film has State Award-winning cinematographer Manesh Madhavan, editor Lijo Paul, and music director Hesham Abdul Wahab. It is produced by Suraj P S, Dixon Poduthas, and Lino Philip under the banner of 1895 Studios.
Earlier, Rajesh was supposed to make his debut with Bismi Special, headlined by Nivin Pauly and produced by Weekend Blockbusters. Though the film was officially announced in 2020, there have been no updates since and its current status remains unknown.
Vinay is currently shooting for Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, the sophomore directorial venture of Althaf Salim. The film stars Fahadh Faasil and Kalyani Priyadarshan in the lead roles.
Sharaf's forthcoming film The Pet Detective, opposite Anupama Parameswaran, is slated for release on April 25. Additionally, the Hello Mummy actor has Padakkalam, alongside Suraj Venjaramoodu, in the pipeline.
Lijomol was last seen in the Tamil film Gentlewoman. She is also set to make her web series debut with SonyLIV’s Blindfold, alongside Arjun Radhakrishnan. In Malayalam, she previously appeared in the Antony Varghese-starrer Daveed.
Priyamvada's upcoming slate includes the Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer Vilayath Buddha and Narivetta, led by Tovino Thomas.
