Plot

[edit]

Joy Thakkolkkaran, after death of his wife Anu, lost his first incense stick company, Punyalan Agarbattis, to debt. However, he doesn't give up on this defeat and decides to rebound back into action. As a growing entrepreneur, he jumps onto a second outing with using elephant urine as a soft-drink. His ideas are supported by his friends and workers Greenu Sharma, Abhaya Kumar, Peer Thanesh etc. As usually he doesn't give consideration to how the system works and clashes with the system. He is very adamant in his companies functioning. When things don't go his way, he forces himself to be the centre of media attention and adopts the situation to make his dreams come true. Joy gets an opportunity to shadow the Chief Minister Shakthan Rajashekharan through the media attention and he uses this to voice his opinions about and against the corrupted system and publicizes his product. When it comes to a point where Shakthan Rajashekaran is against Joy, he utilizes the media that is ready for a marketable news. Joy argues a politician is a service person and for them, people are consumers and consumers are the king. Finally, due to his efforts Shakthan Rajashekaran resigns. In the end, Joy opens his new factory inaugurated by his formal rival.

Production

[edit]

After the 2016 film Pretham, Ranjith Sankar decided to collaborate again with Jayasurya. Sankar got the initial idea of a film while he was travelling on train to Thiruvananthapuram, it was announced to be a sequel to their 2013 film Punyalan Agarbattis. Sankar was pondering over the idea of making a sequel to the film since 2013, "I must have thought about over 10,000 stories for the sequel. Political satire need to have a strong subject. Then, the common trend where sequels rarely turn better than first part too was a hindrance. But, when I landed this story, I realised it is time to announce the project," says Sankar, who scripted it himself.[6][7] Sankar and Jayasurya launched the distribution company Punyalan Cinemas with this film. Sankar said, "the idea behind Punyalan Cinemas is to release our films and others films which we believe in. A humble step into the big ocean of cinema again".[8][9]

The film started filming on 1 August 2017.[10][11]
