Ahead of the release, the film unit spoke to the media on Tuesday, 28 March. The veteran director said Corona Papers is a change from his usual genre of films.
Corona Papers is a film inspired by the Tamil movie 8 Thottakal directed by Sri Ganesh. Interestingly, 8 Thottakal is inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s Japanese film Stray Dog.
In Corona Papers, Shane Nigam dons the role of a policeman for the first time. The movie also features Shine Tom Chacko, Sidhique, and Jean Lal, son of actor Lal, in important roles.
