Martin Prakkatt’s next after Charlie set to go on floors!

Five years after the release of his sensational hit film, ‘Charlie’, Martin Prakkat is finally making his comeback as a filmmaker. His new film has Kunchacko Boban, Joju George and Nimisha Sajayan in the lead roles. The film is scripted by Shahi Kabir, who made his debut as a scenarist last year with the superhit film ‘Joseph’. Pre-production works have been progressing for the last few months and shoot is slated to begin on January 11.

Though details regarding the film’s genre is not yet known, we hear that Kunchacko Boban plays the role of a police officer in it. The actor has previously done cop roles in films like ‘School Bus’ and ‘Allu Ramendran’. Unlike his earlier films, this one will have more scope for performance and the actor is quite excited about it.

It must be noted that scriptwriter Shahi Kabir is a policeman in his real-life. His experiences as a cop proved to be helpful in ‘Joseph’, which was a story about a retired policeman exposing the organ transplant mafia operating in the state. His detailed writing in the film was widely appreciated. It seems like his new film with director Martin Prakkat also belong to his familiar terrain.

This yet-to-be titled film has a good technical crew. Shyju Khalid has been signed as the cinematographer and Mahesh Narayanan will be handling the edits. Vishnu Vijay of ‘Ambili’ and ‘Guppy’ fame will be composing the music. Martin Prakkat is jointly producing the film with veteran director Ranjith’s Gold Coin Motion Pictures.
