Upcoming Malayalam movie Kattalan, which people have been looking forward to for a long time, has added a new star to its already excellent cast. Dushara Vijayan, a Tamil actress known for her strong performances in movies like Sarpatta Parambarai, Raayan, Vettaiyan, and the upcoming Veera Dheera Sooran, has officially signed on for the film. It would be her first time acting in a movie in Malayalam.

Cube Entertainments, the firm that developed the movie, announced her casting on social media with a message that welcomed her warmly. The individuals who made the movie liked Dushara because she was a powerful presence on film and acted naturally. They were thrilled to show her Mollywood through Kattalan. The movie has created a buzz ever since the team started filming in Thailand.

The overseas leg, which began on October 1, just ended. Antony Varghese, the main actor, wounded himself while attempting a stunt with an elephant during filming. The skilled action team kept filming even when there was a problem. Kecha Khamphakdee, a stunt director who is known around the world for his work on Ong-Bak, coordinated the action scenes in Thailand.

Paul George is directing Kattalan, which is being produced by Shareef Muhammed of Cube Entertainments, who also made the hit movie Marco.

The film is reported to be about power struggles and secret operations, which should make for a compelling and high-stakes story.
