What happens

Ezhamathe Varavu (English: Seventh Arrival) is a 2013 Malayalam drama thriller film written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair and directed by Hariharan. The film stars Indrajith, Vineeth, Bhavana, and Kavitha in the lead roles while Mamukkoya and Nandu play pivotal supporting roles. The music was composed by the director himself who also produced the film under the banner of Gayatri Cinema Enterprises. The film's script was written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair in the 1970s and was filmed by Hariharan himself in the name Evideyo Oru Sathru with veteran actor Sukumaran playing an important role (this character was donned by his son Indrajith Sukumaran in the 2013 film). However, the original film, which was buffed in the industry circles to be a trendsetter, did not get a commercial release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
