Pazhassi Raja is a forthcoming biopic magnum opus historical film directed by noted director, Hariharan. It stars Mammotty, Manoj K. Jayan, Thilakan, Padmapriya and Sarath Kumar in the lead roles with Kanika Subramaniam, Linda Arsenio, Kalabhavan Mani and Jagathi Sreekumar in other pivotal roles. The film's score and soundtrack is written by acclaimed composer, Illayaraja.

It was 18 years back that Hariharan, M. T. Vasudevan Nair and Mammotty joined hands to create Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha which was a challenging film according to Hariharan, but he expects this movie to be more challenging since it is being made with an international cast[1]. Initially they had planned to make a movie on Payyamveli Chanthu, then on Thalakkal Chanthu and finally decided on Pazhassi Raja. M. T. Vasudevan Nair who is known for reintepreting history, making villains heroes and heroes villains will be doing the same this time also.

Mammotty who played the hero in Hariharan's previous historical, Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha plays the title role in this movie. Mammotty normally acts in one movie at a time, but during the filming of this movie, he will also be shuttling between the sets of other Malayalam films like Vande Mataram, Mission 90 Days, and Katha parayumbol.There are three heroines with Padma Priya appearing as Adivasi girl, Kanika as his wife and Linda Arsenio as an English woman. Linda Arsenio who has done theatre in New York, was seen in Kabul Express..
