KOCHI: Priyadarshan’s Mohanlal film could very well boast to have one of the most intriguing titles heard in recent times.

Titled ‘Arabiyum Ottakavum P Madhavan Nairum’, the film will have Mohanlal and Mukesh doing the lead roles along with Bollywood actress Vidya Balan. Bhavana and Lakshmi Rai will play the heroines in the film that is expected to be a comedy thriller.

The film is a satirical comedy, set in Abu Dhabi. “I can’t reveal anything more at this point,” said the director. The film will start rolling in Abu Dhabi from March 1 and will hit the screens in July. Priyan himself will script the film in all probability, and the shoot of the film is expected to start shortly at Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi and Dubai.
