Earlier, the director had also met Dhanush. Reportedly, the actor is keen on working with him as well, with the filmmaker currently waiting for a suitable subject for them to collaborate on. Previously, Dhanush had also praised Eko on social media.
For those unaware, Dinjith Ayyathan previously directed Eko, which follows Mlaathi Chedathi, an elderly woman living in the remote hilly region of Kattukunnu near the Kerala–Karnataka border. With her children living far away, her only companion is her caretaker, Peeyos.
Mlaathi is one of the wives of the infamous dog breeder Kuriyachan, who is being hunted by both the state and a terror group. As he remains in hiding, Mlaathi and Peeyos begin uncovering hidden truths about him, unraveling a mystery filled with tension and suspicion.
The film stars Sandeep Pradeep in the lead role, alongside Biana Momin, Sim Zhi Fei, Vineeth, Saurabh Sachdeva, Narain, Ashokan, and Binu Pappu in key roles.
Prior to Eko, the director also helmed the Asif Ali starrer Kishkindha Kaandam.
