Actor Mamukkoya will also play a pivotal role in the film.
The team tweeted the trailer with the caption, “Aalankam trailer released”.
Lukman made a very strong impact with his film Saudi Vellakka, which was released on December 2 last year. The drama film is directed by Tharun Moorthy of Operation Java fame. Saudi Vellakka’s plot is based on true events, and it received rave reviews after its premiere at the 53rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa. This Tharun Moorthy-directed film also stars Sminu Sijo, Binu Pappu, Gokulan, and Sujith Shanker. Devi Verma, a newcomer, also has a prominent role in the film. Saudi Vellakka is supported by Sandeep Senan’s Urvasi Theatres.
