The first look poster of the Malayalam film Pattabhiraman was released last month creating huge expectations. The poster featured its lead star Jayaram along with Baiju, Dharmajan, Sheelu Abraham, Hareesh Kanaran, Miya George, Ramesh Pisharody and Prem Kumar in the background.
Kannan Thamarakkulam is wielding the megaphone for this venture with Dinesh Pallath scripting it. Abraham Mathew is bankrolling the project under his banner Abaam Movies. The film is touted to be a fun entertainer that will also have a social message for the audiences. In the movie, Jayaram will be playing a government officer. Speaking to the Times of India about Jayaram’s character in Pattabhiraman, director Kannan Thamarakkullam had told earlier, “He plays a government employee. The story starts with him buying a plot in the capital city and arriving there to settle down. His journey and struggles complete the film, which will also reveal some shocking truths about how contemporary politics also has a commercial side to it.”
The roles of other characters in the film have now been revealed and we hear that Nandu will be seen as Raman Nair and Dharmarajan as police officer Sunilmon. On his role, Jayaram wrote on his social media handle, “He will make you laugh out loud. Guaranteed!”
Pattabhiraman is touted to be a social comedy with four heroines in the star cast. They are Miya George, Shamna Kasim, Parvathy Nambiar and Sheelu Abraham. The film has been shot at various places including Thiruvananthapuram, Munnar and Tirunelveli.
Director Kannan Thamarakkullam and Jayaram have worked together in three films so far and are now gearing up for their fourth film. Incidentally, the director has directed five films so far of which three had Jayaram in the star cast.
