Kathanar – The Wild Sorcerer: All you need to know

Kathanar: The Wild Sorcerer has already created a lot of talk inside the Malayalam cinema industry. The National feature Award-winning #Home, Rojin's previous feature, has doubled the anticipation of movie enthusiasts. Computer-generated imagery and motion capture are used to virtually make the movie.

Pre-production on Kathanar started over two years ago, although Rojin and scriptwriter P Ramanand have been discussing the movie for over six years. The filmmaker also mentioned in an OTTplay interview that the film was really supposed to start production even before his debut picture, #Home.

Jayasurya, who plays the lead role of an excommunicated priest in the movie, set aside more than a year specifically for Kathanar, changing physically for the role. A pair of installments of Kathanar, which might eventually become a franchise, are reportedly being shot simultaneously, according to Rojin. He did, however, note that because the material is so vast, there might be even more chapters.
