Here comes a totally different Suresh Gopi film. The actor, who has become synonymous with action films in the main, dons a very different role and a totally different get-up, and that too with a beard. He does the role of someone who has a very strong passion for the theatre in his forthcoming film called Laptop. The film is directed by debutante Rupesh Paul, who has been a leading journalist and a writer too.
Produced by E.A. Joseprakash under the banner of Mother Movies, the film tells the story of a very unusual kind of bonding between an unwed mother and son. It's Shwetha Menon who plays the mother while Suresh Gopi plays the role of the son, Ravi. Also in a key role is Padmapriya. The cast also includes Urmila Unni, Madhuben, Harikrishnan etc.
A short story named Parudeesanashtam forms the base for the film's plot and it is Indu Menon who scripts the film. Laptop has cinematography by V.Vinod, art-direction by Sujith Raghav, lyrics by Rafeeque Ahmed and music by Sreevalsan J. Menon. Laptop will be released by Kichu Films in May 2008.
