In a significant development, veteran actor Vijayaraghavan has been recognized for his powerful performance in the thriller drama Pookkaalam, having won a prestigious National Award just last month. This honor comes as Vijayaraghavan joins the cast of the highly anticipated Malayalam-Tamil bilingual film 'Ananthan Kaadu', which marks the reunion of director Jiyen Krishnakumar and screenwriter Murali Gopy, the duo behind the acclaimed 2017 film Tiyaan.
'Ananthan Kaadu' is set to feature an ensemble cast led by Tamil star Arya, alongside a talented lineup that includes Indrans, Sunil (of Pushpa fame), Appani Sharath, Murali Gopy, Dev Mohan, and Achyuth Kumar. The female leads are portrayed by Nikhila Vimal, Regina Cassandra, and Shanthy Balachandran. With Murali Gopy's strong writing and B. Ajaneesh Loknath's music, the film promises to be an intense socio-political thriller rooted in the landscape of Thiruvananthapuram.
The makers have already unveiled a character poster featuring Vijayaraghavan, showcasing the veteran actor in a stern, seasoned politician-like avatar. This poster not only serves as a promotional tool but also doubles as a heartfelt congratulatory message for Vijayaraghavan's recent National Award win, further building anticipation for the film's release.
