Nayantara who is passing through a lean phase in her career, will be back in Mollywood with a couple of big projects. She has already completed the hyped ‘Electra’ with director Shyamaprasad in which she plays the important role. The movie also features Prakash Raj and Manisha Koirala as her parents.

The other important new project to come her way is ‘Mathilukalkkappruam' which is a sequel to Adoor Gopalakrishnan's celebrated film 'Mathilukal'. It will be directed by debutante Prasad. Prasad will continue with Basheer’s story from where Adoor left.

Nayantara will be in the role of Narayani, the unseen woman prisoner on the other side of the prison wall in the original. Mammootty will once again come up as Basheer. The movie is expected to give some of the best moments of the lead actors in Malayalam cinema.

Earlier, Vidya Balan was said to be debuting in Malayalam with this film. Now it seems Nayantara has replaced her. Ravi K Chandran will be the cameraman and sound directions will be by Oscar winning Resul Pookutty. Mammootty’s production company Playhouse is producing this film.
