Anwar to lack star power

Director Amal Neerad has clearly stated that his upcoming film, Anwar, will lack the starry presence that his earlier films were full of.

He spoke about how his previous films starred Malayalam superstars, Mohanlal and Mammootty. However, Anwar will be different.

According to him, Anwar will focus more on the characters in the film than the star playing it. The film is a take on the emotional aspect of terrorism. It also tries to determine the right and the wrong of it all.

Starring young actor Prithviraj, Amal will be scripting it himself. It will go on floors in March at Kochi and Bangalore and will be ready for release by July.
