Vilayath Buddha: Movie Overview
Vilaayath Budha is an upcoming Indian Malayalam-language action drama film directed by Jayan Nambiar in his directorial debut. The film is based on the novel of the same name written by G. R. Indugopan. It is produced by Sandip Senan under the banner Urvasi Theatres, in association with Anish M. Thomas. It stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shammi Thilakan in the central roles, supported by Priyamvada Krishnan, Anu Mohan, Rajashree and Teejay Arunasalam. The film revolves around two characters—Bhaskaran Master and his protégé, a smuggler named Double Mohanan—both of whom are in conflict over the ownership of a sandalwood tree planted by the former.
The film adaptation of the novel was originally conceptualised by Sachy, who began its development in 2020. However, following his passing in June of that year, his associate Jayan Nambiar assumed responsibility for the project. Vilaayath Budha was officially announced in February 2021, with principal photography conducted extensively in Marayur between October 2022 and March 2025. The film features music composed by Jakes Bejoy, cinematography by Arvind S. Kashyap, and editing by Sreejith Sarang.
The music is composed by Jakes Bejoy, in his seventh collaboration with Prithviraj after Ranam (2018), Ayyappanum Koshiyum (2020), Kuruthi, Bhramam (both 2021), Kaduva and Kaapa (both 2022).
