The director tells us, “Vinayakan plays an ex-bike racer in the film. His character's current job, though, is different from his past passion.”

On choosing the actor for the role, Anil says, “It’s a role that is presented with a touch of humour and Vinayakan fit the bill perfectly. Frankly, he was our first and only choice for the character.”

The actor will join the set of the film in Thrissur in a few days. The movie, touted to be a social satire, has bike racing as one of the elements of the plot.
Kunchacko Boban plays a collector in the film while Nyla, a municipal councillor. Meanwhile, Vinayakan will next be seen in a comic role in Role Models, which has Fahadh Faasil and Namitha Pramod as protagonists.
