Actor Biju Menon has lost few kilos to play his character for the upcoming film Lavakusha directed by Gireesh Mano.

The role which is tailor-made for Biju Menon demanded a sharp and trim look and so the actor left no stone unturned to get into the skin of the character. 

The upcoming Malayalam movie is the directorial venture of Nee Ko Njaa Cha-fame Gireesh Mano, who says that the team was adamant about roping in Biju Menon for the character. Infact, they were also willing to wait till he gave us the dates to shoot the film. Gireesh is however not ready to divulge more about the Biju Menon's character in the movie. 

Actor Neeraj Madhav is making his debut as a scriptwriter with Lavakusha, featuring the actor himself along with Aju Varghese and Biju Menon in the lead roles. The movie is about Lava and Kusha who aspire to be cops but never quite make it due to their physique. How to find an alternative is what takes the story forward. The movie, which also has Deepti Sati and Aditi Ravi as the heroines, is a spy comedy. 

Music composer Gopi Sunder and cinematographer Prakash Velayudhan are also part of the crew. Produced by Jaison Elamgulam, the movie is slated to hit the screens on September 22nd.
