Kunchako Boban to star in National award winner Soumya Sadanandan’s directorial debut

Kunchako Boban is as busy as ever with multiple projects in his kitty. He is currently shooting for Sugeeth’s fun entertainer Shikkari Shambu. The actor has recently committed for a new film to be directed by debutant Soumya Sadanandan. Last year the anchor-turned-filmmaker’s documentary Chembai: My Discovery of a Legend, won National level recognition with the Special Mention for a Non-Feature Film.

Her debut directorial with Kunchacko Boban is still in the initial stages. Newcomer Arun is scripting this film. More details regarding its genre or other cast members are not yet known. Soumya has previously acted in a couple of films like David and Goliath and Ormayundo Ee Mukham. Her TV show Film Lounge is also very popular among the Malayali cinephiles.

Kunchacko Boban’s next release will be Diwanjimoola Grand Prix, directed by Anil Radhakrishna Menon. In this upcoming movie, the actor is reprising his character of Sajan Joseph IAS from Lohithadas’ 2003 film Kasthuriman. Chackochan, as he is fondly called, is also playing a brief but prominent role in Abrid Shine’s Poomaram, which stars Kalidas Jayaram in the lead. Ramesh Pisharody’s directorial debut Panchavarna Thathaa is his other film in the pipeline.
