The story revolves around the life of a 42-year-old, unmarried politician, who mixes politics with his personal life. He deals everything in his life in a political way," said the script writer Joji Thomas to The Times of India.
The film is told in the background of an election and some mysterious situations surrounding it. Aju Varghese will be seen as Mamachen's close aide and partner in crimes.
