Alphonse Puthren, director of the hit Malayalam film Premam, has turned producer. He’s currently working on a joint production with Sukumar Thekkepat for the movie Thobama, written and directed by debutant Mohsin Kassim.
The film features Premam fame Siju Wilson, Krishna Shankar and Sharafudheen – all of them recently seen in Aadhi – in lead roles. Reports suggest that a newcomer will be seen as the female lead.
Siju Wilson, Krishna Shankar and Sharafudheen had earlier shared screen space in Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela, which marked Nivin Pauly’s independent production venture. Siju and Sharafudheen also appeared in Happy Wedding, which was a huge success.
