It looks like actor Kunchacko Boban is director Vysakh’s lucky mascot or vice versa. After delivering hit movies like Seniors and Mallu Singh, the duo is teaming up for the fourth time for a comic caper titled Cousins. Kunchacko plays the lead in the movie, while actors Manoj K Jayan and Suraj Venjaramoodu essay the role of his cousins. “Kunchacko and I share a good rapport.
We have been good friends for a long time and I’m in my element when I work with him,” says the
director.
Cousins will be an out and out fun movie like Seniors with elements of a thriller. “We will soon be finalising the script and the other cast, including the lead actress,” says Vysakh.
Incidentally, the director had the storyline of
Cousins in mind even before he started working on Mallu Singh. “We had to put the project on hold due to various reasons. Now that everything has fallen in place, we decided to go ahead with it.”
Sethu (of Sachi-Sethu duo, the scriptwriters of Mallu Singh and Seniors), has scripted
Cousins. The movie will go on floors in mid-March. “The shooting locales will be outside Kerala, as the characters will have a lot of travelling to do as part of the story,” he adds.
