Antony Varghese’s next is a campus-based mass entertainer

Antony Varghese currently has a handful of projects in Malayalam. He is also set to make his Tamil debut with ‘Thalapathy 64’. The actor has now added one more to the list. He will be teaming up with debutant director Nahas Hidhayath for a campus flick. Anil Narayanan has scripted the film, which will have prominence to action and romance. Thomas Panicker of Opus Penta is producing the film. Notably, Antony’s last release ‘Jallikattu’ was also backed by the same banner.

Director Nahas Hidhayath is a former associate of Basil Joseph. He had assisted Basil in the superhit film ‘Godha’. Nihas’ debut film is expected to give a new makeover for Antony as the actor has been doing rugged, rustic roles back to back. A debutante has been paired opposite him. The cast also includes Shine Tom Chacko, Renji Panicker and Saiju Kurup in major roles.

On the technical front, cinematography will be done by Sudeep Elamon of ‘Pathinettam Padi’ and ‘Finals’ fame, edits by Noufal Abdullah and costumes designed by Sameera Saneesh. Jakes Bejoy will be handling the background score. The film is scheduled to go on floors from February 2020.
