After the not so successful but critically acclaimed debut with 'Pachamarathanalil', director Leo Thaddhevoos is getting ready with the new movie titled as 'Payyans'. This time too he will be focusing on familial relationships in a colourful and entertaining setup.

'Payyans' will have Jayasuriya as Josy, a easy go lucky guy who is the pet of his mother Padma. Every time when his father John Varghese intervenes to lead Josy into wisdom, his mother supports his intentions to never take up responsibilities, at least for quite some more time. With no big aims in life, Josy's only daily thought is how to make use of someone else for his carefree life.

Josy was first sent to an engineering college, where he failed in almost all subjects and wasted valuable years doing nothing. And when his family supported him with money for doing a business, Josy's easy ways ended up in making it a big loss.  A guy who always believed in having high lifestyles but less workloads, his life makes an U-turn with the entry of a new friend and some unexpected twists in tale. The movie mainly revolves around mother-son relationships and generation gaps in understanding new generation children's viewpoints.

Scripted by the director  Leo Thadevoos, the movie will have producer-director  lal playing John varghese and Rohini playing Josy's mother Padma. Jayasurya has taken up a new trendy look for this film for his lead character Josy. Actor Anjali, who made a mark in South India through Tamil movies like 'Angadi Theru', is making a debut in Malayalam through 'Payyans'. 

The star cast of 'Payyans' also include Sanker, Sandhya Ramesh, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Saikumar,Kalasala Babu, Janardanan, Guinness Pakru and Harisree Martin. Ranjan Abraham is the editor, while Alphonse renders music to Anil Panachooran's lyrics.

Shot in and around Fort Kochi by cinematographer S G Raman, the film is produced by Naushad Kammu Vadakkan, under the banner of Kammu Vadakkan Films. 'Payyans' will hit theatres across the state, this February.
