The film, set in the 9th century, follows the journey of a Christian priest played by Jayasurya, with Anushka portraying a bloodthirsty ghost named Kalliyankattu Neeli, known for her divine beauty.
Excitement is brewing as the filmmakers plan a two-part release for a Pan-India audience, with the first installment expected by the end of the year. Anushka recently shared her enthusiasm on Instagram, posting a picture from the set with the caption “Entered into the world of Kathanar – The Wild Sorcerer.” Fans of the actress, who adore her in thriller roles like ‘Bhaagamathie’ and ‘Arundhati,’ are eagerly anticipating her debut in Malayalam cinema, especially in a negative character. Despite her break from the big screen, Anushka has multiple projects in the pipeline, including a much-awaited collaboration with Rebel star Prabhas, making her fans even more eager for her return.
