A still from the movieWithout much hype, Puthan Panam, starring Mammootty in the lead hit the screens on Wednesday.
The film, directed by Ranjith is definitely high on expectations as it is said to be a different take on the director's 2011 National Award winning film Indian Rupee, which had Prithviraj in the lead role.
Ineya, Sheelu Abraham, Siddique, Sai Kumar, Renji Panicker, Harish Kanaran and Mamukoya are the other major casts in the movie. The film is produced by 3 Color Cinemas, a production house co-owned by Abraham Mathew along with director Ranjith and actor Arun Narayanan.
Puthan Panam has released in about 137 theaters in Kerala and the movie will release outside Kerala on April 14.
Plot: Puthan Panam is the story of Kasaragod-based businessman Nithyananda Shenoy portraying his struggle to tackle black money.
