Samuthirakani will have an equal footage with Lal, who plays a lorry driver named Balaraman in the movie. Ananya plays Mohanlal's daughter in the movie while Lakshmi Gopalaswamy will once again appear as his wife. ‘Shikaar’ which is planned as a revenge drama will grace the theaters as the big Onam release of Mohanlal.
