Unni Mukundan is set to star in a new action entertainer directed by the legendary Joshiy. The announcement, made on Joshiy's birthday, marks a significant collaboration between the actor and the veteran filmmaker. The film will be produced by Unni Mukundan's production house, Unni Mukundan Films (UMF), in association with Einstin Media.
Joshiy, a name synonymous with Malayalam commercial cinema for decades, is known for his ability to blend mass appeal with compelling storytelling. His return to directing promises a film that will resonate with long-time fans and a new generation of viewers. The film aims to bring together the soul of classic Malayalam storytelling with the energy and style of today's cinema.
Unni Mukundan expressed his excitement about the collaboration, calling it a dream come true. He acknowledged Joshiy's unmatched legacy and the opportunity to create something that blends classic Malayalam cinema with the pulse of today's audience. UMF is committed to stories that leave a mark, and this film is a landmark project for Mukundan personally and professionally.
The film's screenplay is by Abhilash N. Chandran, known for his character-driven scripts in films like 'Porinju Mariam Jose' and 'King of Kotha'. Chandran's storytelling depth ensures the film will be about action, emotion, grit, and unforgettable moments.
Unni Mukundan will be seen in a never-before-seen, high-powered action avatar, tailor-made for the big screen and designed to resonate with loyal fans and new-age audiences. Mukundan is training hard in Dubai for what promises to be his most intense action role yet.
Einstin Media, known for bold choices and quality-driven projects, backs this cinematic spectacle. Their critically acclaimed film 'Purusha Pretham' was celebrated for its dark humor, inventive storytelling, and bold narrative style.
UMF, riding high on the successes of the National Award-winning 'Meppadiyaan' and the 100-crore action drama 'Marco', seeks to raise the bar even higher by joining hands with a master craftsman who has defined Malayalam commercial cinema. With back-to-back successes like Meppadiyaan and Marco, Unni's next outing under UMF continues to push creative boundaries while staying rooted in storytelling.
This collaboration is a tribute to Joshiy's extraordinary legacy and a chance to create something rooted in the essence of Malayalam cinema but speaking to today's audience. The film is expected to be a landmark production for both UMF and Malayalam cinema.
