It was announced that Jayasurya will be teaming up again with the Captain director Prajesh Sen for the film Vellam. The groundwork for this film is on and the shooting is all set to begin on November 3 in Kannur. Nimisha Sajayan has been signed up to play the female lead in this film which is based on the life of a drunkard.
It may be noted here that Jayasurya and Prajesh Sen worked together in Capatain, a biopic on the legendary footballer VP Sathyan. The film had Anu Sithara as the female lead with Renji Panicker, Siddique, Deepak Parambol, Saiju Kurup, Kamal Varadoor and Lakshmi Sharma in supporting roles. Jayasurya won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Captain.
Besides Vellam, Jayasurya has a number of films in his kitty. His upcoming film will be a fantasy thriller, which is based on the life of the legendary priest Kadamattathu Kathanar who lived in Kadamottom. The story of the mysterious Kadamattathu Kathanar is all set to be made into a film with Jayasurya roped in to play the role of the priest. The film is bankrolled by actor-producer Vijay Babu under his banner Friday Film House on a big budget. Reports are that this fantasy flick will be in the 3D format.
Further, the producer and the actor are working together in Sufiyum Sujathayum. It is an intense romantic tale, we hear. The film has Aditi Rao Hydari playing the female lead and she will be seen as Jayasurya’s wife. Wielding the megaphone for this venture is Naranipuzha Shanavas. Also, Jayasurya will be seen making a guest appearance in Poozhikkadakan, scheduled for release this year. The actor also awaits the release of Thrissur Pooram, directed by Rajesh Nair, in which he plays the character named ‘Pullu Giri’.
