It was recently announced that veteran actor Suresh Gopi has been roped in for playing an important role in an upcoming directed by Nithin Renji Panicker. The makers have now revealed the title of the film -- Kaaval.
The makers tweeted saying, "So happy to Announce our next big project #kaaval starring super star #sureshgopi its directed by #Nithinrenjipaniker. Here is the title poster !! Need all blessing & support #kaavalrollingsoon @VRFridayMatinee @boxofficeindia @Forum_Reelz @Forumkeralam1 @rameshlaus @sri50 (sic)."
