Soubin Shahir’s American Junction is a fun, feel-good movie

This Diwali, actor Soubin Shahir revealed the first look poster of his upcoming movie

American Junction

, which is directed by

Prem Sreekumar

and is scripted by

Sibi Kaippan

. The poster featured a caricature of Soubin sporting a glass tinted with the American star-spangled flag against the backdrop of coconut leaves.

Ask its director Prem what the movie is about and he says, “It’s a fun, feel-good entertainer; that’s all we can say right now. We can assure you that it’s a movie that family audience would enjoy. We have started the pre-production of the film and we are hoping to start shooting next year once the pandemic subsides, theatres reopen and the audience start coming to cinema halls.”

Apart from Soubin, the debutant filmmaker, who had worked close to 20 years in the advertising industry, says that there will be a lot of known faces as part of the cast and also talented crew who will be working behind the camera. The movie is produced by Shyju Unni, who had earlier co-produced Soubin’s directorial debut

Parava

with filmmaker Anwar Rasheed.

Meanwhile, Soubin is awaiting the release of his movie Irul, which is a thriller that also has Fahadh Faasil and Darshana Rajendran in the lead. He had also finished shooting for Siddharth Bharathan’s Djinn and is also part of Manju Warrier’s upcoming movie Vellarikka Pattanam, which is directed by Mahesh Vettiyaar. The latter is a family entertainer and is expected to go on floors as soon as Manju completes shooting for Lalitham Sundaram.
