Nivin Pauly in a stylish new look; Mikhael starts rolling!

Nivin Pauly’s new film, Mikhael, with director Haneef Adeni went on floors today in Ernakulam. The movie started rolling with a customary switch on and pooja ceremony. Anto Joseph is producing the movie under his banner Anto Joseph Film Company. Apart from the crew of Mikhael, the pooja was also attended by film personalities like producer Joby George, directors Arun Gopy, Anil Radhakrishna Menon, Shaji Padoor and Mahesh Narayanan.

Haneef Adeni is popular for his films like The Great Father and Abrahaminte Santhathikal (writer). Rated as one of the most stylish filmmakers in Malayalam cinema at present, Haneef has got his hero Nivin to sport a trendy new look for Mikhael. Apart from Nivin, the movie also stars another youth star Unni Mukundan in a prominent role.

Mikhael comes with the tagline ‘Guardian Angel’. Haneef has reportedly scripted the movie as a family thriller. Nivin is said to be playing the role of a family man while details about Unni’s character have not yet been revealed. JD Chakravarthy, Siddique, Renji Panciker, Ashokan, Shanthi Krishna, Kalabhavan Shajon and KPAC Lalitha are confirmed in the cast.

Shoot was supposed to start last month but the makers had to postpone due to the unprecedented floods. The movie has been planned to be shot across Indian and foreign locations.
