Anarkali Marikar plays an alien in Gaganachari

Gokul Suresh and Anarkali Marikar are teaming up for a new film titled ‘Gaganachari’. The film is directed by ‘Saajan Bakery’ fame Arun Chandu and produced by Vinayaka Films. Its shoot commenced in February and is currently nearing completion. The film is a science-fiction comedy set in the 1950s. It is learnt that Anarkali plays an alien in the film.

Reportedly, Anarkali’s character in the film visits the Earth to study about human culture. The alien arrives at an apartment complex where some Malayalis live. Along with Gokul Suresh, veteran Ganesh Kumar and Aju Varghese essay the other important roles in it. The film has a very intriguing concept and it will be interesting to see how it gets translated on screen.

‘Gaganachari’ is Arun Chandu’s third directorial venture. His debut film ‘Sayanna Varthakal’ stars Gokul Suresh and Dhyan Sreenivasan in the lead roles. The film has been delayed for over two years now and there is still no updates regarding its release. Arun then made ‘Saajan Bakery Since 1962’ with Aju Varghese and Lena as the leads. Ganesh Kumar played a prominent role in that film as well.

Scripted by ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ director Jijo Punnoose, ‘Barroz’ is a fantasy film set against the backdrop of the maritime history of Portugal, Spain, India and Africa.
