Shooting for director Jeethu Joseph and actor-director Basil Joseph’s upcoming dark comedy film Nunakuzhi has begun today (November 6). The Drishyam director took to his Facebook (now Meta) page to announce the update, along with a photo of the cast and crew members of the upcoming film.

Nunakuzhi plot, cast and crew

Nunakuzhi’s first-look poster, which came out a while ago, revealed the tagline of the film as ‘Liar’s Day Out’, with a signpost referencing dialogues from Malayalam pop culture. Jeethu had earlier revealed that he is exploring a dark comedy with this upcoming Basil starrer, which is different from his usual thriller genre. The film is written by KR Krishnakumar. Additional details about the film’s plot are still under wraps.

After the success of Kooman, Jeethu and Krishnakumar are teaming up again for Nunakuzhi. The film is produced under the banner of Sarigama and Vintage Films. Cinematography for the movie is handled by Satish Kurup, while editing is done by Vinayak VS. The cast also includes Baiju Santhosh, Saiju Kurup, and Aju Varghese.
