Anoop Menon and actor Lal are prepping to share the screen space in the upcoming Malayalam film, titled Checkmate. The makers have finally unveiled the official trailer of the film, which is set to release on August 8.
The trailer of the yet-to-be-released project was shared with the world on August 5. It was posted on the official YouTube channel of the film’s director, Ratish Sekhar. The clip starts with a hunt in a snow-filled region, which is followed by scenes depicting power and money. Our lead Anoop Menon is introduced to us in a whole new avatar, taking on the role of a man eager for money, power and revenge. While actor Lal’s appearance is one of the biggest highlights of the trailer, donning a cap and a sleek white beard, his character is an enigma. The rest of the video introduces us to many characters, all seemingly involved in a game of power and money. The cinematography of the clip can be compared to that of a thriller Western flick.
Directed as well as written by Ratish Sekhar, the film stars Anoop Menon, Lal and Rekha Harindran in important roles. The cast also includes Rajalakshmi, Anjali Mohanan and Viswam Nair. The film’s screenplay, music, cinematography and editing are all done by Ratish Sekhar. It is being produced under the banner of Seed Entertainment Productions. The lyrics are penned by Dhanya Suresh Menon, B K Harinarayanan, Vedan, Vinayak Sasikumar and Yadu Krishna. The film is set to release this Thursday, August 8.
In June, the lead Anoop Menon took to his official Facebook handle to share the film’s first look poster. According to the caption, this is the actor’s most expensive film of his career. It states, “First look of the most expensive film of my career…entirely shot in New York and different parts of America this is the love child of a group of super talented American Malayalees…let us cheer for that young, vibrant youth."
