Sujith Raj, who will be seen playing Gopan, is working on a song called Raveguru with the music composer of the film, Mangal Suvarnan, apart from acting in the movie.

While the film is bankrolled by Manesh Thomas of Kannamthanam Films, the script is written by Syam Seethal and Vishnu Ramachandran. Talking about the movie, Syam had said, “The film is about friendship, love, fantasy, and also has a little bit of horror thrown in. Sugeeth has been particular since his first film that the title or the tagline be related to the story and the tagline of this film – ‘Based on a fake story’ – too has relevance to the film.” Watch the teaser here: Also read: 'Airline refused to fly with my child with special needs': Mother of 5-yr-old to Tnm...
