|January 07, 2025
VETERAN actor Jagathy Sreekumar, who has been away from films after a near-fatal accident in 2012, has joined the cast of Gaganachari director Arun Chandu's upcoming zombie film Vala.
The actor will portray the character of Professor Ambili, also known as Uncle Luna.R.
Recently, on the occasion of Jagathy's birthday, the makers unveiled a character poster featuring the actor seated in a wheelchair against a striking post-apocalyptic backdrop, consistent with the film's zombie narrative. The wheelchair's accessories bear a striking resemblance to those of iconic scientist Stephen Hawking, hinting at a tech-savvy character.
