Ace director-scriptwriter Renjith has already started the workshop for selected artists, who will be appearing inĀ his new film ‘Palery Manikyam’. The movie which is a period film, is an investigative thriller based on a murder mystery that was in the news around five decades ago.
Mammootty will appear as the crime investigator who arrives from Delhi to Palery to find links to the murder of Manikyam.
The movie will be based on a famous novel by T P Rajeevan titled – ‘Palery Maanikyam-Oru Paathiraa kolapathakathinte Katha’ which was published in Mathrubhumi weekly years ago.
The movie is expected to become a very different product from Renjith, who has mesmerized audiences with his recent works like ‘Thirakkatha’ .
