, says, “It’s a stylish entertainer. The story is a biography of the titular character named Maati played by Biju Menon, and it is inspired from many real-life characters and events.”

Biju Menon will be sporting three different get-ups in the film, which is also scripted by Domin, who hints that the character of Maati will be accompanied by a team akin to gangsters.

The movie will go on floors next year and will be shot in Thrissur, Dubai, Delhi and Nainital. “The music of Maati is equally important to how the story is told,” says the director, who has roped in Jakes Bejoy as its composer.

Meanwhile, Biju Menon, who is currently busy with Sachy’s Ayyappanum Koshyum in which he plays a cop, will next join Madhu Warrier’s directorial debut which will have him team up with Manju Warrier.
