Manju Warrier, Soubin Shahir to lead Vellarikka Pattanam

Manju Warrier and Soubin Shahir are set to reteam for debutant Mahesh Vettiyaar's Vellarikka Pattanam. Bankrolled by Fullon Studios, the film will be lensed by Jayesh Nair.

Manju and Soubin first worked together in Santosh Sivan's upcoming Jack and Jill.

Mahesh, who has previously worked on animation films and cartoons, has penned the script of Vellarikka Pattanam jointly with Sarath Krishna. The film is said to be a quirky, family-oriented entertainer.

Appu Bhattathiri and Arju Benn will be editing the film while Sachin Shankor Mannath will compose the music to Vinayak Sasikumar's lyrics.

Manju's other upcoming films include her brother Madhu Warrier's Lalitham Sundaram, Sanal Kumar Sasidharan's Kayattam, The Priest (with Mammootty), and Padavettu (with Nivin Pauly). She is also part of Priyadarshan's big-budget Marakkar, which will be released next year.

Soubin also has Siddarth Barathan's Jinn and Zakariya's Halal Love Story coming up next.
