It is already known that Jayasurya and producer Vijay Babu of Friday Film House have associated for the film Thrissur Pooram. The film, which is being directed by Rajesh Mohanan, has its story and screenplay penned by music composer-turned-writer Ratheesh Vegha. The film is said to be in the mass action genre and it will show Jayasurya in a very different light. It was also reported earlier that Swathi Reddy will be making her comeback with this film. She and Jayasurya would be playing the role of a couple. But now, it is being reported that Swathi has been replaced by Anu Sithara!
A report in a leading daily suggests that Swathi opted out of the film and thus the makers roped in Anu for this role. Although it has not been mentioned clearly, it seems that the actress dropped out due to date clash reasons. With Anu in the picture, the anticipation level goes even higher as fans have already witnessed a good chemistry between Anu and Jayasurya in earlier films like Fukri and Captain.
Thrissur Pooram will be shot in different locations in Thrissur, Coimbatore and Hyderabad.In earlier interviews, the makers had mentioned that the film’s structure is similar to the various phases of annual temple festival such as kodiyettam, ilanjitharamelam, vedikettu, etc.
