Suresh Gopi’s mass entertainer Kaaval starts rolling

Suresh Gopi is all set to make a comeback to the mass genre. His new film ‘Kaaval’ has gone on floors today. Nithin Renji Panicker of ‘Kasaba’ fame is directing the film. Nithin has also scripted the film that has been planned as an action-packed family drama. The story set in the high ranges of Idukki spans across two different timelines.

Along with Suresh Gopi, Lal was also supposed to play an equally important role in the film. However, due to his prior commitments in other languages, the actor opted out of ‘Kaaval’. Renji Panicker has now replaced him. The film will have both Suresh Gopi and Renji Panciker in two getups – an older and younger look.

Others in the cast include ‘Irupathiyonnaam Noottaandu’ fame Zaya David, Alencier Ley, IM Vijayan, Sujith Shankar, Kichu Tellus, Binu Pappu, Santhosh Keezhattoor, Muthumani and Pathamaraj Ratheesh. National award winner Nikhil S Praveen, noted for his work in Jayaraj’s highly acclaimed films ‘Bhayanakam’ and ‘Roudram’ is wielding the camera. Ranjin Raj of ‘Joseph’ fame has been assigned as the music director. Joby George of Goodwill Entertainments is producing the film.
