Ashwaroodan, the first Malayalam venture by eminent film producer, D Ramanaidu, featuring Suresh Gopi, in the lead, will hit the silver screen by June 30.

Directed by Jayaraj with Padmapriya in the female lead, shooting for the Rs one crore project would begin on 20 April, Dr Naidu said.

The film, under the banner of Suresh Production, would be completed in 30 days and released by June 30 throughout, Dr Naidu said.

Ashwaroodan narrates the story of an oppressed section of people in an Adivasi settlement. Sita Lakshmi, (Padma Priya), an ostracized girl from upper caste Naboodiri family, joined by Poomadathinkkal Veerabhadran (Suresh Gopi) give them leadership to fight for their cause, said Jayaraj.

Sai Kumar, Capt Raju, T G Ravi, Jagannatha Varma and Nanditha Bose are among others in the cast.

Dr Naidu, who got his name entered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest filmmaker, said he would also try his luck in Marathi, Gujarathi, Punjabi and Bhojpuri soon.
