We were among the first to report about Nivin Pauly teaming up with director Vysakh. The movie which marks the reunion of Vysakh and writer Udhayakrishna will reportedly go on floors by the end of August.

Here’s a new poster of Swathanthryam Ardharathriyilil featuring Antony Varghese, Chemban Vinod and Vinayakan!

Debutant director Tinu Pappachan’s Swathanthryam Ardharathriyilil is gearing up for release this month.

Vinayakan and Chemban Vinod Jose are also there in other major roles. A new poster featuring these three actors was released today.

From whatever little we get to see in the posters, Swathanthryam Ardharathriyilil promises to be a raw action packed flick. Tinu Pappachan is a former associate of Lijo Jose Pellissery and has worked in his cult blockbuster Angamaly Diaries, so an inspiration is clearly there to make a raw and realistic film.

Newcomer Dileep Kurian has scripted Swathanthryam Ardharathriyilil. The movie has Antony playing Jacob, a Kottayam based youngster who works in a finance company. As the title Swathanthryam Ardharathriyilil suggests, the core plot of this movie evolves over certain incidents that occur in a single night which turns the protagonist’s life upside down.

Director Lijo Jose Pellissery and few other actors from ‘AD’ are also part of this upcoming movie. Cinematographer Gireesh Gangadharan and editor Shameer Mohammed who worked in ‘AD’ are handling their respective departments in this movie as well. Jakes Bejoy is composing the music and Deepak Alexander is in charge of the background score.

The team is currently busy with the post production works and a teaser is expected to be released very soon. The movie is being produced by BC Joshi and it will be presented by director B Unnikrishnan.
