On the movie’s plot, the film’s scriptwriter Sethu tells us, “It’s about a group of youngsters, along with Saiju Kurup’s character, going on a trip from Kochi to Khajuraho. All of them are united by their love for travelling and after Dhruvan’s character narrates a particular story about a village in Khajuraho, the group instantly decide to head there on their bikes with just a backpack in which they have carefully detailed their schedules and budgets.”

The film will be a “proper road movie” with the group starting from Kochi and reaching Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh via Wayanad, Mysore, Hubli and Nasik, says the scripwriter. “The film will show the cultures of each State as they pass through. The movie will also have a social message,” he says.

Samyuktha plays a chemist while Saiju Kurup’s character is named Chamber Job. “He is the guy whom youngsters approach when they have to amp up the sound of their bikes by tinkering with its chamber, and hence his name,” says Sethu.

The team is currently planning to start the shoot by July end in Pollachi. The film will mark the directorial debut of Manoj, who had worked as associate director of Lal Jose. Gopi Sundar is handling the music. The movie is produced by Abdurahiman SP under MARS Productions.
