No high expectations! Lal Jose about Velipadinte Pusthakam
After years of speculation, Mohanlal and Lal Jose are finally working together. Shoot for their upcoming movie Velipadinte Pusthakam is currently progressing in Trivandrum. The duo were supposed to team up years back but the project could not materialize then.
Velipadinte Pusthakam went on floors last month. The movie, written by Benny P Nayarambalam is a campus based entertainer in which Mohanlal will be seen as a college vice principal. Since Mohanlal and Lal Jose are teaming up after a long wait, expectations are certainly on the higher side. However in a recent interview, the director said that the audience should not have high expectations.
He is quoted saying, “I’m not really sure about the audience expectations on the movie. That is why we didn’t want a title that will raise the anticipation levels. High expectations can backfire so I want to keep it minimal. But I can assure you that the movie will satisfy all those who seek quality entertainment.”
Mohanlal is playing the role of professor Mathew Idicula in the movie. He is sporting a new look with long hair and closely trimmed beard. Angamaly Diaries fame Anna Reshma Rajan is the female lead. The movie will showcase the relationship between teachers and students.
Anoop Menon, Priyanka Nair, Angamaly Diaries fame Sarath Kumar, Aanandam fame Arun Kurian, Siddique, Jude Anthany Joseph, Alencier Ley Lopez and many other supporting actors are also part of the cast. Shaan Rahman is composing the music while Godha fame Vishnu Sarma will be cranking the camera. The movie is produced by Mohanlal’s Aashirvad Cinemas. The makers are eyeing for an Onam release.
