Pranchiyettan and The Saint is an upcoming Malayalam satirical film written and directed by Renjith[1][2]. Mammootty will play the pivotal role in the film.[3] The film is a satire and is about a rice vendor in Thrissur. Priya mani[4][5], Innocent, Jesse Fox Allen and Siddique will be doing the other important roles. The film is thus having five National Award winning artists, Mammootty, Priya mani, Renjith , Venu Isc, who is the cinematographer of the film and Ouseppachan, who will be scoring the music for the film. The film is expected to release on Ramzan this year.[1]

Plot

Pranchiyettan hails from a rich family that is traditionally into the business of selling rice. But he has an inferiority complex about the fact that he is not that educated. And so Pranchiyettan hankers for social acceptance. He simply cannot understand why people who are less affluent than him can get respectable positions in society. And so he is always in search of some easy way to get there, with the help of friends like Vasu Menon (Innocent). But sadly for him, that kind of acceptance always eludes him. He hates his nickname, "Arippranchi", which he got as a result of the family rice business. To get rid of the nickname he starts a jewellery shop only to have people call him "Arippranchi the jeweller". Padmashri (Priyamani) is a Mumbai-based interior decorator who hails from Thrissur. She invites Pranchiyettan to inaugurate a painting exhibition, after learning about his generosity. It is Dr. Omana (Khushboo), the wife of Dr. Jose (Siddique), who introduces Padmashri to Pranchiyettan. The latter is the couple's former schoolmate. After a while, Pranchiyettan realises the futility of yearning for acceptance. Meanwhile he meets a 15-year-old boy named Poly (Master Ganapathi). Pranchiyettan's interactions with Poly changes his perception of life.[6]

Production

Casting

There was buzzes long back that Renjith will be doing another experimental film after the moderate successes of Kerala Cafe and Mammootty-starrer Paleri Manikyam. The original decided casting included Mammootty, who has collaborated with Renjith in many of his parallel films and Priya mani, whose performance in Renjith's Thirakkatha was hugely appreciated. Mammootty will play the role of Chirammal Enashu Francis, a rice vendor in Thrissur. Hafis Firosh will be doing Mammootty's childhood. There was buzzes that Innocent and Biju Menon will be doing other important characters in the film. However, the finalised cast included Innocent playing the role of Vasu Menon, friend of Pranchiyettan. Australian theatre artist Jesse Fox Allen will do the role of the Saint, believed to be an important character in the film. Apart from cine-artistes, this movie will also have plenty of faces from professional drama fields to doing other characters of the movie, as in Renjith's Paleri Manikyam.[7] Jagathy Sreekumar plays Deena Dayal. "My character is there only in a few scenes but he makes a definite impact, which is quite exciting for an actor. He is an idealistic teacher, who lives as per Gandhian principles and leads a simple life," says Jagathy Sreekumar.[6] Master Ganapathy, who plays Poly says "It is indeed great to be doing such a nice role with some of the big names in the industry. My character is a live wire."[6]

Filming

The film was announced on June 2010. The film is produced by Renjith itself, in the banner of his Capitol Theatres[6]. The shooting began on July 1, 2010[4][8]. The shooting was at Vadakkunnathan Temple in Thrissur but was later shifted to Regency club at Kuttanellur[1]. Some parts of the film is shot in Goa[1].
