For the first time, Nivin Pauly will be sharing the screen space with Malayalam superstar Mohanlal in Kayamkulam Kochunni.
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal will be joining the sets of upcoming period film Kayamkulam Kochunni, which has Nivin Pauly in the titular role. Nivin confirmed the news on his Twitter page, describing the opportunity to work with Mohanlal as a “dream come true moment.”

The entire cast and crew is absolutely delighted & thrilled to share the working space alongside him. This is truly a dream come true moment!!! (sic),” Nivin said.
Kayamkulam Kochunni is set in the 19th century and will narrate the story inspired by a legendary real-life thief, Kayamkulam Kochunni. He was known for stealing from the haves and giving it to the have-nots. The upcoming film will narrate Kochunni’s Robin Hood-like adventures and also focus on other details in his life that inspired him to do things he did.
Nivin took training in Kerala’s traditional martial arts Kalaripayatt to play the 19th century highway robber. With short crop, handlebar moustache and beefed up physique, Nivin will sport a menacing look in the film.
