‘Kappela’ was the last mainstream Malayalam film to hit screens in Kerala before the lockdown was announced. The film got released in theatres across Kerala on March 4 and opened to pretty good reviews. However, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, theatre response was largely dull and eventually, the run had to be cut short.
‘Kappela’ stars Anna Ben, Roshan Mathew and Sreenath Bhasi in the lead roles. Director Musthafa has scripted the film jointly with Nikhil Vahid and Sudhas. Anna Ben, Sreenath Bhasi and Roshan Mathew play the lead roles. ‘Ambili’ fame Tanvi Ram, James Elia, Vijileesh, Navas Vallikkunnu, Sudheesh, Nisha Sarang and Sudhi Koppa have essayed supporting roles.
