P. Sukumar turns director; Dileep to lead

Cochin, June.5 (NR): P. Sukumar, one of the leading cinematographers in Malayalam, is all set to turn director. It will be Dileep who will be doing the lead role in Sukumar's debut film.

It should be remembered that direction is something that's already there in Sukumar's family. His elder brothers P. Gopikumar and P. Chandrakumar are directors.

Dileep will be playing the role of a journalist in this film, which will feature script by Kalavoor Ravikumar, the man who had scripted hits like 'Ishtam' and 'Nammal' and who also directed the yet-to-be-released 'Oridathoru Puzhayundu'.

P. Sukumar himself will be producing the film along with actor Madhu Warrier (Dileep's brother-in-law) under the banner of Colour Factory. Details are yet to be divulged about the theme, the rest of the cast and the crew.
