Biju Menon In And As ╚••║► THASKARAN◄║••╝- A Jeethu Joseph Film
Biju Menon to team up with Jeethu Joseph
The Malayali audience have always lapped up interesting tales of 'legendary robbers' like Kayamkulam Kochunni and Ithikkara Pakki. At a time when the stories of their 'feats' are gaining popularity again in Mollywood, director Jeethu Joseph is also planning a movie on the lines, with Biju Menon in the lead. The project is based on the book Thaskaran: Maniyan Pillayude Athmakadha, which is about the Kollam-based eponymous robber of the 80s, who is now known to be a reformed man. G R Indugopan, who authored the biography of Maniyan Pillai, scripts the film.
Director Jeethu Joseph says, "Yes, the project is on, but we have not decided on a timeline during which it would go on floors. Currently, the scripting work is progressing and I am busy with a few other films, including the one that stars Pranav Mohanlal in the lead."
Does that mean the movie can be delayed by at least a year? "No," says Jeethu, clarifying further. "If the script gets ready, we might even go ahead with the movie without much delay. But we aren't at a stage when more of details about the project can be confirmed," says the director.

Jeethu Joseph, Biju Menon unite
Though Kayamkulam Kochunni and Ittikkara Pakki are robbers, they are Malayalis' heroes.
Jeethu Joseph is coming up with a story about one such robber. The film has been titled Thaskaran.
Jeethu has based his story on the book named Maniyan Pillayude Atma katha.
The book is about a robber called Maniyan Pillai, who was a Kollam man of 80s.
The book's author G R Indugopan is writing the script for the film.
Biju Menon will play the lead character.
The director said the script work was going on and he was waiting for its completion to begin the shoot.
