Antony Varghese to play a college student in next

Next year would see Antony Varghese in a host of exciting roles – as a football coach of a children’s team in Aanaparambile World Cup, an indolent youth in Ajagajantharam and as a college student in his latest signing, which is directed by debutant Nahas Hidayath.
On the upcoming movie, Nahas tells us, “It’s a campus film that focuses on romance and has ‘mass’ elements. It’s different from the genres that Antony has done so far.He plays a college student. However, the story isn’t set in an urban college but in a Kottayam-based educational institution.”
The yet-to-be-titled movie is scripted by Anil Narayanan, who had earlier penned the scripts of Tharangam and Style. “The film is a full-on entertainer that also talks about the rivalry between two gangs and the problems that ensue,” says Nahas, who had earlier worked with director Basil Joseph in movies such as Godha.
Apart from Antony, the film also has Renji Panicker, Saiju Kurup, Shine Tom Chacko, Jaffer Idukki. “All the college students in the film will comprise of newcomers from Kottayam whom we would be selecting through auditions,” says the filmmaker.
The movie is set to go on floors by February end next year and will be shot in Kottayam and Pathanamthitta. Antony, meanwhile, is busy with Tinu Pappachan’s Ajagajantharam, which revolves around incidents that happen during a temple festival.
