Chennai, Oct 31
If sources in the industry are to be believed, the unit of director Arun Anirudhan's eagerly awaited Malayalam film 'Athiradi', featuring actors Basil Joseph, Tovino Thomas, and Vineeth Sreenivasan in the lead, has planned to begin the second schedule of the film in the second week of November.
Sources in the industry point out that the first schedule of the film, which is currently on, is likely to come to a close on November 2. The next schedule will then begin on November 12, they added.
'Athiradi' has triggered huge excitement among fans and film buffs as it will be the first film to bring together Basil Joseph, Tovino Thomas, and Vineeth Sreenivasan on screen. A teaser released by the makers of the film opens with the introduction of Vineeth Sreenivasan’s character. It is followed by the introduction of the characters of Basil Joseph and Tovino Thomas. The teaser hints at 'Athiradi' being a mass action entertainer. The punchline of the teaser gives the impression that the team is gearing up to deliver a power-packed theatrical experience. The teaser also indicates that the trio will portray distinctly different characters, both in appearance and personality.
Apart from Malayalam, the teaser was also released in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada.
The film is being produced by actor Basil Joseph's production house Basil Joseph Entertainments along with Doctor Ananthu Entertainments. 'Athiradi', which is being made as a complete entertainer, is being directed by debutant filmmaker Arun Anirudhan, who was one of the screenwriters of the first Malayalam superhero film, 'Minnal Murali', which was directed by Basil Joseph. The script has been co-written by Paulson Skaria and Arun Anirudhan. The film’s co-producers are Sameer Thahir and Tovino Thomas. After 'Minnal Murali', 'Athiradi' will mark the reunion of Tovino Thomas, Basil Joseph, Sameer Thahir, and Arun Anirudhan.
On the technical front, the film has cinematography by Samuel Henry and music by Vishnu Vijay. Editing for the film is by Chaman Chacko while costume design is by Mashar Hamsa.

Good to see Malayalam cinema expanding to other languages. The pan-India release strategy shows confidence in the product. Hope it lives up to the hype!
As someone who loved Minnal Murali, I'm excited but also cautious. The teaser looks promising, but I hope the story is strong enough to justify this star cast.
Vishnu Vijay's music and Samuel Henry's cinematography - what a combo! The technical team looks solid. Hope the November schedule goes smoothly. 🤞
Three powerhouse performers together! Each brings something unique to the table. Basil's production house backing this gives me confidence in the quality.
Interesting to see Tovino Thomas co-producing. He's really taking charge of his career. The multi-language approach is smart for wider reach.
