New poster of Nivin Pauly’s Padavettu out; Makers confirm theatrical release

Nivin Pauly has just shared a new poster from his upcoming film ‘Padavettu’. It looks like a shot from an action sequence as the actor is seen soaked in mud and blood. Along with sharing the poster, Nivin has also confirmed that the film will be hitting screens in 2022.

Directed by debutant Liju Krishna, ‘Padavettu’ is touted to be a rustic entertainer set in Kannur. Nivin Pauly is said to be playing a very challenging character in the film. He will be appearing in two different looks. He had earlier gained some extra weight for playing the character and those portions have already been shot. The remaining portions are expected to be shot once he goes through a physical transforms.

‘Padavettu’ stars Manju Warrier in a cameo role. Aditi Balan and Shine Tom Chacko are also part of the cast. The film marks actor Sunny Wayne’s debut as a producer. Recently, the production was taken over by Saregama, a leading music label. Their film division Yoodlee Films is foraying into Malayalam film industry with ‘Padavettu’.
