Previously, we reported that actor Raiza Wilson, known for Bigg Boss and Pyar Prema Kadhal, is all set to headline Nova: Phase One – The Arrival. The film is set to be helmed by first-time filmmaker Milo, who has previously helmed about 20 commercial advertisements. Recently, the makers reported that the film's production is nearing completion.
Apart from Raiza, the film will also star Dhruva, Advithi Shetty, Hridika Biswas, Joe John Chacko, Sendrayan, Swathika and Krishna. Roya Fortuna Creations, which previously backed Aadhi Pinisetty and Hansika's Partner, is the production banner of the upcoming film.
Speaking about Nova, director Milo said in a press note, "This film has been crafted as a horror science-fiction supernatural fantasy thriller. The story simply cannot be confined to a single genre. Marking her comeback after two years, Raiza Wilson returns to the screen through this project. Moreover, we have brought together a unique multi-language cast, featuring one actor each from Kannada, Malayalam, and Bengali cinema. Adding to the excitement, Joe John Chacko, brother of renowned Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko, is making his Tamil debut with this film.”
On the technical front, Nova will feature Christo Bob's camera work, Yuvaraj Chandran's compositions, Prem B's editing, Devendran's artwork and Rambo Vimal's stunt choreography. The film has been shot across locales of the Western Ghats and Kerala. The film is also set to be released in Telugu, apart from Tamil. The film's Telugu dubbing is currently in progress. More details about the film's release date and plot are yet to be announced by the makers.
Raiza was last seen in Kajal Aggarwal's Karungapiyam. She is also working on The Chase, a Telugu film, at present.
