The release of United Kingdom of Kerala (UKOK), featuring Ranjith Sajeev in the lead, has been rescheduled to June 20, the makers announced on Tuesday. The announcement comes after the film’s earlier postponements, first from its original release date of April 17 and later from May 23. In a recent statement, the film's writer-director Arun Vaiga cited technical issues as the reason for the delays.
Billed as a family entertainer, UKOK also stars Johny Antony, Manju Pillai, Indrans, Manoj K Jayan, Sangeetha, Sarangi Shyam, and filmmaker Alphonse Puthren. The film’s cinematography is by Sinoj P Ayyappan, with music by Premam-fame Rajesh Murugesan. Director Arun also serves as the editor. It is produced by Anne, Sajeev, and Alex under the banners Fragrant Nature Film Creations and Pooyappally Films.
Ranjith was last seen in Golam, which was also backed by the actor's parents Anne and Sajeev. The film, directed by debutant Samjad, turned out to be a sleeper success at the box office. The actor and director are also collaborating on an upcoming vampire film titled Half.
