National Award-winning actress Manju Warrier stunned fans last year in her Tamil cinema debut, Asuran, opposite Dhanush under Vetri Maaran's direction. The action period drama saw her deliver a power-packed performance, with critics and fans alike getting completely bowled over by her skills. A prominent name in Kerala, Manju Warrier has now been announced to be a part of the upcoming Malayalam film titled, Vellarikkapattanam, and this time opposite Soubin Shahir. Fans in Tamil Nadu will most remember Soubin Shahir for playing the character of Physical Education Lecturer Shivan Sir in the smash hit 2015 Malayalam film, Premam. 

Being directed by Mahesh Vettiyar, the Vellarikkapattanam first look was released on Sunday by a number of celebrities including Tamil film director Gautham Menon. Taking to his Twitter page, GVM said the film is bound to be a "laugh revolution" and two of his favorites - Manju Warrier and Soubin Shahir - caught his eye. Being produced under the Full On Studios banner, the upcoming family entertainer will reportedly be a social satire set in the present-day. Mahesh Vettiyar is known for co-directing the animation film Swami Ayyappan in 2012. Check out the Vellarikkapattanam first look below:
