Bramayugam – Mammootty's character has no connection with Kadamattathu Kathanar story, reveals Rahul Sadasivan

Bramayugam, the highly anticipated horror thriller that stars Mammootty in the lead role, is gearing up for its grand theatrical release on February 15, 2024. The highly anticipated project marks the megastar’s first onscreen collaboration with Bhoothakaalam fame director Rahul Sadasivan. As reported earlier, Mammootty is set to play the role of Kunjamon Potti, a mysterious man who belongs to an aristocratic family in rural Kerala.

Both the name of the veteran actor’s character and his look in the film left the Malayalam cinema audiences curious. Some Malayalam literature lovers even speculated that Kunjamon Potti is based on a popular character from the much-celebrated Aithihyamala and Kadamattathu Kathanar story. In a recent interview with Radio Asia, director Rahul Sadasivan finally addressed the speculations and made some exciting revelations about Bramayugam.

The talented filmmaker confirmed that Mammootty’s Kunjamon Potti is an entirely fictional character and has no connection with the Kadamattathu Kathanar story, or Aithihyamala. He also revealed that the upcoming project is a full-fledged suspense thriller that is set in a fictional space.

According to the director, it is more of a suspense thriller film that has elements of horror. He further added that audiences over the age of 13 can watch the film without inhibitions. The project is set in a period era, and that is the reason why it is made in a black-and-white format.
