Veteran director Joshiy is making
Sevens, a Malayalam thriller with football as the backdrop. Kunchacko Boban, Asif Ali, Nivin Pauly, Rajith Menon, Kuttu, Vijeesh and Ameer are members of the Sevens football team.
Football tournaments with seven-member teams are quite popular in northern Kerala. The film is being shot in Kozhikode and Kochi.
Bhama and Rima Kallingal play the heroines while old-timer Nadia Moidu is doing an important role as the police commissioner. Nadia's comeback film
Doubles, with Mammootty, was a big disappointment.
The script has been written by Dr Iqbal Kuttippuram, whose previous film
Arabikkatha, with Lal Jose and Sreenivasan, was a big success.
Camera work is by Ajayan Vincent and Biji Bal scores the music.
Se
vens is produced by Santosh Pavithram and Sajay Sebastian.
Joshiy has recently directed the hit multi-starrer,
Christian Brothers.
