The much-awaited release date of “Vilayath Buddha”, featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran in the role of a sandalwood smuggler named Double Mohan, has been announced. The film will hit theatres worldwide on November 21. Produced by Sandeep Senan under the banner of Urvashi Theatres, the film is directed by Jayan Nambiar.
“Vilayath Buddha” is based on the celebrated novel of the same name by G. R. Indugopan. The film, directed by Jayan Nambiar, stars Priyamvada Krishnan as the female lead. The posters, teasers, and the song ‘Katturasa’ released earlier have already won hearts across social media. The recently revealed shooting stills from the film’s promo song have also generated wide attention online.
Following hits such as “Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum”, “Sathyam Paranjal Vishwasikkuvo”, and “Saudi Vellakka”, “Vilayath Buddha” marks another grand cinematic venture from Urvashi Theatres. The film is co-produced by A. V. Anoop for AVA Productions. The screenplay has been written by G. R. Indugopan and Rajesh Pinnadan.
As suggested by the teaser, “Vilayath Buddha” unfolds as a thriller set against the backdrop of revenge, passion, and love. The story takes place in the lush sandalwood forests of Marayoor, famed for its ‘gold-bearing’ trees.
Alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran, the film features Shammi Thilakan, Anu Mohan, Rajashri Nair, and T. J. Arunachalam in prominent roles.
Jakes Bejoy is the music director. Arvind Kashyap, cinematographer of “Kantara 1 & 2” joins Renadive for the film’s cinematography. Kashyap handled the camera for “Bell Bottom”, one of the hit movies in Kannada.
