The upcoming Malayalam-language film Pulimada, starring Joju George, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Lijomol in principal roles, began production in Wayanad yesterday. The team is looking at wrapping up the entire shoot in a single schedule of 60 days at the same location.
Pulimada marks AK Sajan’s return to direction after a long time. Additionally, the film will also see the return of veteran cinematographer-director Venu handling the camera after a huge gap of eight years.
Not much else is known about the forthcoming venture now, but some media outlets report that it is a thriller where Joju George plays the principal character of a man whose life takes a turn after he meets a woman.
Talking about the film, Sajan told a publication, “Joju plays a migrant high-range farmer based in Wayanad. He is someone who lives in the mist-filled hills of Wayanad and makes his living through farming and hunting wild boars. At one point, an urban girl, played by Aishwarya, who was brought up in Abu Dhabi, comes into his life to learn farming. The story evolves when these two people from two totally different terrains come together.”
In addition to Joju George, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Lijomol, Pulimada also features Balachandra Menon, Chemban Vinod, Johnny Antony, and Jaffer Idukki in important characters.
