Jayasurya will be the hero in M Padmakumar's forthcoming film Pathiramanal, produced by Dhanush Productions.

Earlier, Prithviraj was planned for the title role but he opted out of the project citing date issues.

Reema Kallingal is the heroine. Popular Tamil director-actor Samudrakani would handle a meaty role.

Scripted by Babu Janardhanan, the film will start rolling in Alappuzha from March.
