Veyil trailer out; Shane Nigam plays a troubled youth yet again!

As informed earlier by the makers, the trailer of Shane Nigam starrer ‘Veyil’ got released online today. The film directed by debutant Sarath Menon seems like a coming-of-age story of a youngster named Siddharth, played by Shane. In his brief career, the actor has done quite a few characters like this but he still looks perfect for the part in ‘Veyil’. Merin Jose Pottackal, James Eliya, Shine Tom Chacko, Sudhi Koppa and many others are part of the cast.

On the technical front, popular Tamil playback singer Pradeep Kumar is composing music for this film. Camera is cranked by Shaz Mohammed and Praveen Prabhakar is handling the edits. Joby George is producing the film under the banner of Goodwill Entertainments.

‘Veyil’ has to be one of the most talked about Malayalam films in recent years. It all started when Shane Nigam made allegations against producer Joby George of giving him death threats. The producer on his part accused Shane of unprofessional behavior. When shoot resumed after the intervention of various film governing bodies, Shane walked out of the location and shaved his hair as a protest against the crew. This lead to the youngster getting a temporary ban from Malayalam cinema. All the issues were settled after multiple rounds of discussions.

The makers will be hoping that all the struggle and efforts that went behind the making of ‘Veyil’ is worth it. The film is expected to get a theatrical release soon after the Corona crisis is over.
