Sabumon plays the antagonist in Jayasurya’s Thrissur Pooram

Shoot for ‘Thrissur Pooram’ is currently progressing at a brisk pace. It is being directed by Rajesh Mohanan and is produced by Vijay Babu’s Friday Film House. Music director Ratheesh Vega is debuting as scriptwriter with this film, which is touted to be an action-packed mass entertainer. It has Jayasurya playing a larger-than-life character named Pullu Giri. ‘Big Boss’ fame Sabumon Abdusamad plays the villain in the film. Though he has acted in quite a few films, ‘Thrissur Pooram’ will have Sabu in a fierce negative character.

‘Thrissur Pooram’ is shaping up as the most expensive film in Jayasurya’s career. As per the makers, the film is structured just like the real Pooram festival. It is divided into several chapters each signifying the various stages of the festival. Swathi Reddy reportedly plays the female lead and she will be seen as Jayasurya’s wife in the film. Vijay Babu, Gayathri Arun, Mallika Sukumaran, Manu, Manikuttan, Murugan and Sreejith Ravi are also part of the supporting cast.

‘Thrissur Pooram’ has cinematography by veteran RD Rajasekhar and edits by Deepu Joseph. Besides scripting, Ratheesh Vega is handling the music department as well.
