A little bit of romance, talk of a wedding, looks exchanged, slaps, fights and a lot of music become the teaser of Love Action Drama, a Malayalam film that has Nivin Pauly and Nayanthara in the lead. It’s written and directed by actor Dhyan Sreenivasan, following on the footsteps of his father Sreenivasan and brother Vineeth.

The teaser shows Nivin Pauly telling Mallika Sukumaran that he is thinking about marrying someone. Mallika responds by smiling, patting his face and telling him to go sleep. Aju Varghese, almost a permanent sidekick to Nivin Pauly, plays the friend yet again, as they have bike rides and tea shop conversations. Nayanthara is acting in a Malayalam film after three years, after her role as Vasuki Iyer in Mammootty’s Puthiya Niyamam. She plays Shobha in the film, and you see her walk with Nivin, exchange glances with him and talk on the phone with him. No dialogues for Lady Superstar in the teaser, but there appears to be a lot of music and dance and fight scenes in the film, typical of a masala entertainer.

Sreenivasan, Dhyan’s dad, also acts in the film. Interestingly, Nivin and Nayanthara are named Dineshan and Shobha in the film, the two lead characters in Sreenivasan’s award winning 1989 film Vadakkunokkiyanthram. Sreenivasan had played Dineshan and actor Parvathy played Shobha in the film that showed the former as having a complex about his wife being too good looking and therefore suspecting her every move.

Love Action Drama also features Dhyan’s brother Vineeth Sreenivasan, who has written the lyrics for the movie’s songs, composed by Shaan Rahman. Cinematography is by Jomon T John and Roby Varghese Raj and editing is done by Vivek Harshan. The film is produced by actor Aju Varghese along with Visakh Subramaniam under the banner of Funtastic Films.
