Sneak Preview
An investigative action thriller with superstar Mammootty and Tamil action hero Arjun in the lead, Vande Matharam tells the story of a group of officers protecting the country from the infiltrations of an international terrorist organization. The central investigative agency (RAW) finds out that Malik, head of a terrorist group, has crossed the international border and entered India to execute deadly explosions in South India.
Gopi Krishnan (Mammootty), Southern zone command director of the Intelligence bureau, is assigned the task of tracing the plans of the organization and stopping them from creating any damage. Gopi Krishnan forms a core team with support from Anwar Hussain (Arjun) who joins the group on deputation from the State police. The execution of 'Operation Malik' forms the climax of the movie.
The action sequences and stunts conceived by stunt director Anal Arasu are exceptional. Directed by D. Aravind, Vande Matharam is produced by Henry who returns to Malayalam cinema after 25 years. His last release was Yavanika. Kollywood actor Arjun plays an equally important role in the film. The film is being made in Tamil as well as Aruvadai. K. Santhosh has written the dialogues for the Malayalam version.
The film will feature two heroines, Sneha as a pilot and wife of Gopi Krishnan and Sharadha Arya as an ornithologist. Deepak J.D. makes his debut as the deadly villain; Jagadish and Jai Akash play supporting roles; others in the cast include Riyaz Khan, Vijayakumar, Rajan P. Dev, Raj Kapoor and Mumtaj.
The five songs in the movie, penned by Gireesh Puthencherry and Vayalar Sharatchandra Varma, are set to music by Vidyasagar. The Tamil verses are written by Pa. Vijay, Vairamuthu and Yugabarathi. Cinematography is by Vetri and Rajesh Yadav.
The movie has been made at a whooping budget of 14 cores. Vande Matharam will hit theatres on July 4.
