Nivin Pauly will be seen in a stunning new makeover in Kayamkulam Kochunni

As reported by us, Nivin Pauly is playing the lead in ace filmmaker Rosshan Andrrews’ movie based on the life of Kayamkulam Kochunni. National award winning duo Bobby and Sanjay have scripted this film. The director has now unveiled a character sketch of Nivin Pauly’s look in the film through his official Facebook page.

Nivin looks a lot more beefed up with a closely cropped hair and twirled moustache. Reportedly, the actor will be undergoing a complete makeover for playing the role of Kochunni. He would also be training in Kalaripayattu for the movie.

Bobby-Sanjay scripted the movie after doing extensive research for around two years. The research works were carried out with the help of an 8 member core team, which also included history students. The movie will explore several unknown aspects of Kochunni’s life from how he became a rebel to his love life. Amala Paul has been roped in to play the female lead.

Kayamkulam Kochunni is a big budget venture produced by Gokulam Gopalan of Sri Gokulam Films. The team will be shooting majority of the portions in Sri Lanka, as the island nation has lush green areas and forests reminiscing parts of Kerala of the pre-independece era.
