The team has revealed that the film is based on the present political scenario in Syria. While the details of Jayasurya’s role is being kept under wraps, the actor shared his enthusiasm on bagging the role. “There are some characters that, once we know them, the wait to transform into them is an experience which cannot be described,” said Jayasurya. “When Bava and Arun Narayan (producer) described the story and character to me, I thanked the Almighty for sending them to me. This ‘Apposthalan’ is an embodiment of God.”
