Basil Joseph is back with an intense ego-driven drama in Ponman.

Basil Joseph seems to be a man on a mission. Every few weeks, he has a release, and each one turns out to be a solid outing for the actor, providing decent returns for the makers as well. Close on the heels of his recent film Pravinkoodu Shaapu, Basil is back with yet another gripping drama, Ponman. The makers of Ponman, which marks the directorial debut of noted production designer Jothish Shankar, recently released the teaser of the movie ahead of its premiere on January 30.

In the teaser, we are introduced to the worlds of Ajesh (Basil Joseph) and Mariyan (Sajin Gopu), and how the titular ‘gold’ plays a pivotal role in their lives, and the lives of the people around them. The intense teaser promises an ego clash between the principal protagonists, and it has all the makings of a revamping of the images of Basil Joseph and Sajin Gopu, who are known for their relatively light-hearted roles.
