Nalpathiyonnu: Lal Jose’s next with Biju Menon and Nimisha starts rolling

We were among the first to report about director Lal Jose roping in Biju Menon and Nimisha Sajayan for his new movie. Though the makers are yet to announce the title officially, we hear it has been christened as ‘Nalpathiyonnu’. Shoot for the movie commenced today in Kannur with a customary switch on. Biju Menon sports a long bearded look in the film.

Scripted by Prageesh PG, a former journalist, this movie is reportedly set in the backdrop of the socio-politcal issues in Kannur. The basic thread revolves around an atheist and a devotee. Going by his look and attire, Biju Menon supposedly plays the latter in the film. This is the first time Biju Menon and Nimisha are coming together for a film, so it will be interesting to see them share screen space.

Suresh Krishna and Indrans have also been cast in major roles. A few theatre artists and newcomers will also be seen essaying prominent roles in the movie. In the technical side, S Kumar will be cranking the camera and edits will be by Ranjan Abraham.
