The movie was in the news after a

tiger

, which was brought to the sets in Qatar, escaped and was finally captured in the highway. Even before that debacle, a snap of Biju Menon leaving the Qatar airport wearing a mundu made the rounds, much to the delight of Malayalis.

The film is currently in the final stages of its post-production, the director tells us. “It’s a class act from Biju Menon, who appears as an

Arab

in the film. The movie is basically a stylish comedy. All the actors including Krishna Shankar, Harish Kanaran, Balu Varghese, Lalu Alex and Saju Navodaya have done a fantastic job,” Prakash says. “In fact, during the editing, there wasn’t a moment I couldn’t stop laughing.”

The film, scripted by Y V Rajesh, was shot in Qatar, Thrissur and Thiruvananthapuram and is set for an August release.
