Anupam Kher, Jaya Prada in Mohanlal's Pranayam

Bollywood actor Anupam Kher and actress Jaya Prada are all set to star alongside Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal in his upcoming movie Pranayam. The Malayalam film is a triangular love story and Anupam and Jaya said to be playing key roles in it.

According to sources, Pranayam narrates the yesteryear love story of three characters, which has real heart touching moments strewn across the tale. Its shooting will start next week at Kochi. Since Mohanlal is leaving for shooting in Abhu Dhabi, his combo scenes with Anupam Kher and Jaya Prada will be shot first.

Pranayam is being produced by Sanjiv and directed by Blessy, who has already worked with Mohanlal in films like Thanmatra (2005) and Bhramaram (2009). The film will have newcomer Satish Kurup's camerawork, ONV's lyrics and M Jayachandran's music.

However, Anupam Kher is debuting in South Indian cinema with this Malayalam film Pranayam. Jaya Prada has already acted in films of all south Indian languages. She has also worked with Mohanlal in Malayalam movie Devadoothan in 2000. This film will be her second movie with him.
