Dileep’s work front
Dileep was last seen headlining Bha Bha Ba. The film follows Radar, a quirky conman who kidnaps the Chief Minister of Kerala, CK Joseph, by slipping him a drink mixed with laxatives.
The Chief Minister’s son, an NEA officer named Noble, takes charge of the investigation, supported by a small team working as double agents. As the narrative unfolds, the Chief Minister’s past connection with the conman is revealed, leading to a series of chaotic, comical, and illogical situations.
Apart from the CID Moosa actor, the film also features Vineeth Sreenivasan, Baiju Santhosh, Dhyan Sreenivasan, and Sandy Master in key roles. Additionally, Mohanlal, SJ Suryah, Salim Kumar, and Riyaz Khan make cameo appearances. The film, directed by debutant Dhananjay Shankar, is available for streaming on ZEE5.
While unconfirmed, Dileep is expected to collaborate with the filmmaker once again.
