Manju Warrier and Biju Menon have earlier worked together in films like Krishnagudiyil Oru Pranayakalathu, Kudamattam, Pranayavarnangal, Innalakalillathe and Kannezhuthi Pottum Thottu and last shared screen space about two decades ago. They haven’t come together in a movie after Manju Warrier’s comeback in 2014, until now. Manju and Biju would appear in a film that will be directed by actor and producer Madhu Warrier, who is also Manju’s brother.
Pramod Mohan will be penning the script for this film. The prep work for this project which has not been titled yet is on and the shooting is scheduled to begin in October. P Sukumar will be cranking the camera for this venture.
Madhu Warrier made his acting debut with the film Wanted in 2004. He has acted in over 20 films like The Campus, Nerariyan CBI, Romeo, Veruthe Oru Bharya and so on. He has produced two films – Swa Le and Mayamohini.
The last film which Manju starred in was the Prithviraj directorial Lucifer in which she shared screen space with Mohanlal. She has quite a few films in her kitty including Priyadarshan’s Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham and Santosh Sivan’s Jack n Jill in Malayalam. The shooting of this film has been wrapped up and it is currently in the post-production mode.
Manju will also be seen in the Dhanush-Vetrimaaran project, Asuran. This film will mark her debut in the Tamil film industry. The film stars Dhanush playing the role of a father and son and Manju Warrier is paired opposite the dad.
Biju Menon was last seen in Mera Naam Shaji, directed by Nadirshah. The film featured Biju Menon, Asif Ali and Baiju in titular roles, all of them named Shaji. Biju played the Shaji from Kozhikode while Baiju played the one from Thiruvananthapuram and Asif from Kochi.
