Jayasurya-Sajid Yahiya to team up again after IDI

Jayasurya teamed up with debutant director Sajid Yahiya earlier this year for the movie Inspector Dawood Ibrahim (IDI).

IDI was released in August this year to poor reviews both from critics and the audience. IDI was a comedy entertainer that narrated the story of an ambitious police officer who gets trapped in a rural area.

After failing to please the auidence, the movie ended up as a commercial failure.

But now, the director-actor duo is teaming up again for a new movie, this time a gangster story set in the backdrop of Thrissur Pooram. The movie has been titled as Gangs of Vadakkumnathan.

Jayasurya will be playing the character ‘Varal Jaison’, a gangster based in Thrissur.

Shoot will commence in May next year. The plot is set from the first day to the last day of the festival in five parts. Reportedly, the makers are planning to film many important portions during the actual Pooram.

It is to be remembered that in the 2013 release D Company, an anthology of three films, Jayasurya played the character Varal Jaison in the part Gangs of Vadakkumnathan.

It is still not known whether the new movie is the continuation from the part in D Company.

Jayasurya has earlier acted as a Thrissur native in Punyalan Agarbathis.
