Director: Shafi

Jayaram plays a makeup man in this film directed by Shafi, based on a script by Sachi and Sethu.

Sheela is the heroine while Prithviraj and Kunchacko Boban are seen in cameos. The film has been on the floors for a while and had to be completed in more than one schedule, due to date issues.

There is some cinema-within-cinema kinds of scenes which should make things even more interesting. Shafi says that we tend to ignore the behind-the-scenes crew members like the makeup men.
