Noted Malayalam film director Shaji N. Karun is making a Hindi film, which tackles the theme of terrorism.
The film titled Nishadam will feature well-known theater and TV personality Rajat Kapoor and Archana in the lead roles. Archana was the heroine also of his first film Piravi, which won international acclaim.
Shooting of the film, which is based on a short story by Vatsalan Vadhusseri, has already started in Himachal Pradesh. Karun has chosen Himachal Pradesh because he thinks the State is an ideal locale for his film, which highlights the mystery that shrouds terrorist operations.
After completing the film, which is being made in collaboration with Zee TV, Shaji will make a movie co-starring Mohanlal and Jaya Bachchan.
