Srinath Rajendran, the acclaimed Mollywood director behind Koothara with Mohanlal and Kurup with Dulquer Salmaan, is making his Bollywood debut with a gripping biographical crime thriller.

The film, based on Preeti Aggarwal and Chetan Unnial’s book MoneyRam, is currently being developed. Details about the cast will be announced soon.
Produced by Insomnia Media and Content Services Limited in association with Pretty Pictures, the movie will be shot in Hindi and released in Hindi, Malayalam, and Telugu, aiming to reach audiences across the nation. It is likely to go on floors in 2025.
