Pretham,
the
upcoming
horror
comedy
which
marks
the
third
collaboration
of
Jayasurya-Ranjith
Sankar
duo,
has
started
rolling.
The
filming
of
the
movie
has
been
progressing
at
the
various
location
of
Kochi.
The
actor-director
duo's
last
collaboration
Su
Su
Sudhi
Vathmeekam
was
a
huge
critical
and
commercial
success.
Pretham
is
jointly
produced
by
Jayasurya
and
Ranjith,
under
the
banner
Dreams
N
Beyond.
The
movie
will
have
Njaan
fame
Shruthi
Ramakrishnan
and
actress-tv
anchor
Pearler
Maaney,
in
the
female
leads.
The
screenplay
and
dialogues
of
Pretham
are
penned
by
director
Ranjith
Sankar,
himself.
Jayasurya
essays
the
central
character,
John
Don
Bosco.
Aju
Varghese,
Padmasoorya
Govind,
Joju
George,
Sharaf
U
Dheen,
Dharmajan,
Sunil
Sugatha,
Devan,
Harish
Perady,
etc
play
the
supporting
roles.
Expectations
are
riding
high
on
Pretham,
as
it
marks
the
comeback
of
Ranjith
Sankar
into
the
horror
genre.
It
is
also
a
significant
venture,
as
horror
is
one
of
the
not-so-explored
genres
in
Mollywood.
Ranjith,
who
made
his
directorial
debut
with
the
Dileep-Sreenivasan
starrer
Passenger,
emerged
the
top
directors
league
of
M'town,
with
the
success
of
his
Mammootty
starrer
Varsham.
