Anoop Menon, Unni Mukundan and Wamiqa Gabbi in Kannan Thamarakkulam’s next

Director Kannan Thamarakkulam’s last movie Achayans was commercially successful, though critics panned it heavily. The director is now prepping up to start his next movie, which like Achayans, is also a multistarrer. Unni Mukundan and Anoop Menon will be playing the lead roles in the movie.

This upcoming movie is scripted by Dinesh Pallath, who was also the writer of Kannan Thamarakkulam’s first two films – Thinkal Muthal Velli Vere and Aadupuliyattam. It is said to be an action packed thriller movie.

Punjabi actress Wamiqa Gabbi has been roped in to play the female lead. Wamiqa made an impressive debut earlier this year with Basil Joseph’s Godha, in which she played the role of a wrestler. Her power packed performance in the movie won her appreciation from all corners. Reportedly, Wamiqa Gabbi was brought on baord for Kannan’s movie as the character offers ample scope for performance. Wamiqa is also simultaneously working in a Tamil movie, Iravaakaalam also starring SJ Suryah and Sshivada.

Unni Mukundan on the other hand has two big releases coming up. He is playing a crucial role in Anushka Shetty’s multilingual movie Bhagmati. He is also part of Megastar Mammootty’s upcoming movie Masterpiece. Unni will be seen as a police officer in this Ajai Vasudev directorial, which is scheduled as a Christmas release.

Kannan Thamarakulam will start shooting for his movie once his lead actors are free from their respective commitments.
