A fresh and exciting collaboration is set to take the Malayalam film industry by storm as Biju Menon, Dhyan Sreenivasan, and Suraj Venjaramoodu, three stars of the silver screen, unite to lead an upcoming film directed by the acclaimed Nisam Basheer, known for his directorial success with ‘Rorschach’. This highly anticipated project is poised to blend elements of satire with the gripping tension of a thriller, promising a cinematic experience that will engage audiences with its innovative storytelling and high-caliber performances.
The screenplay for this unnamed film is penned by Sameer Abdul, who previously collaborated with Nisam Basheer on ‘Rorschach’. While the specifics of the plot are yet to be disclosed, the film is shrouded in an air of mystery that is sure to generate buzz and anticipation among moviegoers and critics alike.
Director Nisam Basheer first made waves in the Malayalam cinema with his 2019 directorial debut ‘Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha’, starring Asif Ali. However, it was his 2022 psychological thriller ‘Rorschach’, which featured superstar Mammootty in the role of a complex anti-hero on a vengeful journey, that truly established Basheer as a filmmaker to watch. The film’s critical and commercial success marked a turning point in Basheer’s career, showcasing his flair for crafting dark and intricate narratives.
Further enhancing the anticipation, last year Nisam Basheer publicly announced an upcoming collaboration with actors Dileep and Suraj Venjaramoodu for a project written by Sameer Abdul. Despite the earlier announcement, details about the progression of this project remain elusive, keeping fans waiting on the edge of their seats.
Turning our attention to the bustling career of Dhyan Sreenivasan, the actor is riding a wave of productivity with several releases lined up, including ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’ and ‘Malayalee From India’. Furthermore, he is set to appear alongside Tovino Thomas and Soubin Shahir in the upcoming ‘Nadikarand Anand Sreebala’, which features a robust cast, including Arjun Ashokan and Aparna Das.
In parallel, the versatile Suraj Venjaramoodu is sharing the spotlight with Biju Menon in the eagerly awaited ‘Nadanna Sambhavam’, directed by Vishnu Narayan, whose work on ‘Maradona’ was critically acclaimed. Suraj’s impressive portfolio continues to grow, with several films in the pipeline such as Suresh Gopi’s ‘Varaham’, Asif Ali’s ‘Adios Amigo’, Kunchacko Boban’s ‘Grrr’, and ‘Madhuvidhu’. Adding to his versatility, Suraj also plans to captivate the Tamil audience with his debut in Chiyaan Vikram’s ‘Veera Dheera Sooran’.
The prolific Biju Menon, not to be outdone, has exciting projects around the corner, including ‘Thalavan’ with co-star Asif Ali, and ‘Kadha Innuvare’. The actor is also making his much-anticipated return to Tamil cinema after a hiatus of 14 years with the upcoming Sivakarthikeyan film directed by AR Murugadoss.
These developments are a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of Malayalam cinema. With a trifecta of talent at the helm of this new venture, audiences can expect a production that melds humor with suspense, paving the way for a unique and entertaining ride through the eyes of some of Kerala’s finest. As the film industry waits with bated breath for more details to surface, this amalgamation of three powerhouse performers and an innovative director promises to be one of the most talked-about projects in Indian cinema.
