Tanya Ravichandran and Harish Uthaman will also play pivotal roles in the movie.
Previously, the makers released an intense video of the making of the film, which showcased Jayam Ravi as a gangster. The poster also sported a line reading – “King of Indian Ocean.” This led to speculations that Jayam Ravi may play the role of a gangster on the coast.

On the professional front, Jayam Ravi has another much-awaited film in the pipeline. He will be seen on the big screens in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan, which is set to release on September 30.
