Prithviraj and Biju Menon are both the heroes and the villains in Ayyappanum Koshiyum: Sachy

Amidst high expectations, Prithviraj-Biju Menon starrer ‘Ayyppanum Koshiyum’ is set to hit screens this Friday (February 7). Directed by Sachi, the film created a positive buzz courtesy the highly impressive trailer. The trio of Prithviraj, Biju Menon and Sachy had last teamed up for ‘Anarkali’, which was a big success. Unlike last time, both the actors have equal prominence in the film.

According to writer-director Sachy, the story of ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ is set in the Attapadi region. It is centred around a conflict between a veteran policeman and a retired solider. Biju Menon plays Ayappan Nair, a soon-to-retire cop and Prithviraj essays the part of Koshy Kurian, a havildar who is retired from the Indian army after 16 years of service.

Interestingly, the film also has a political subtext and explores issues like class divide and racism. As per the director, Prithviraj and Biju Menon are both the heroes and the villains in the film as the lead characters have multiple shades. The plot evolves after Ayyappan Nair and Koshy Kurian get into a tussle over a legal issue.

Veteran director Ranjith, Anna Reshma Rajan, Siddique, Anu Mohan, Sabumon Abdusamad, Anil Nedumangad, Shaju Sreedhar and many others are part of the supporting cast. Sudeep Elamon is the cinematographer and Jakes Bejoy handles the music department.

The film is produced by director Ranjith and PM Sasidharan under the banner of Gold Coin Motion Picture Company.

He is well known for his efficient leadership in building the Konkan Railway, Delhi Metro and Kerala’s own Kochi Metro. VK Prakash’s ‘Rama Sethu’ will focus on Sreedharan’s professional journey and since it has a biopic nature, the movie will traverse multiple timelines.
