Jayasurya to play a mysterious drunkard in Vellam

Recently, it was announced that Jayasurya would be teaming up with his ‘Captain’ director Prajesh Sen for a movie titled ‘Vellam’. The makers had also released an intriguing first look poster through Jayasurya’s official social media handle. ‘Vellam’, scripted by Prajeesh, is the story of a mysterious drunkard based in Kannur. The lead character to be played by Jayasurya is said to be a very challenging one.

Apparently, the actor gave open dates for the project as he was highly impressed by Prajesh’s narration. More details regarding the supporting cast and technical crew members will be announced shortly. The movie is being produced by Friendly Productions. The makers are planning to start shooting by May.

Director Prajesh is currently in Mumbai assisting Madhavan in his directorial debut, ‘Rocketry – The Nambi Effect’, which is the biopic of former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan. Prajesh had earlier planned Nambi Narayanan’s biopic with Mammootty in the lead, but it didn’t materialize due to some technical reasons. He later made a documentary on Nambi Narayanan.

Jayasurya on the other hand is on a break after working in multiple projects back to back last year. Apart from ‘Vellam’, the only other film he has signed for is ‘Turbo Peter’ with Midhun Manuel Thomas. A third part in the Aadu series is also on cards.
