Actor/director Dileesh Pothan will play the lead in Vaarikuzhiyile Kolapathakam, a comedy-drama. The movie, directed by Rejishh Midhila, will revolve around a rustic hamlet and a series of incidents. "It is a comedy subject. But, towards the second half, there is a thriller element as well. Overall, the subject is something everybody can relate to," says Rejishh.
Besides Dileesh Pothan, the movie will have newbie Amit Chakkalakkal in a leading role. However, the highlight of the movie is that a leading actor will appear in a cameo role. "That is something we don't want to reveal now. The highlight of the movie is that. It is a cameo, but the character is very significant in the storyline," he adds.The movie, the shoot of which has already started in Vaikom, will centre around an island. It will also have debutant Ameera playing the lady lead.
