Bramayugam plot revealed

According to the censor copy details of Bramayugam, which are now surfacing online, Bramayugam is set in a Kerala village of a different time period and revolves around a folklore singer named Thevan from the Paanan caste who gets stranded in a mysterious place. Arjun Ashokan is set to play the role of Thevan in the film, which reportedly features Mammootty as Kunjamon Potti, a mysterious man who belongs to an aristocratic family.

“In the age-old Kerala, where Tantra/Maya was an everyday reality, Thevan, a folklore singer from the Paanan caste (a lower caste wherein their occupation is singing hymns of praises about gods and rulers), loses his way after narrowly escaping from a slave market. His life takes an unexpected turn when he accidentally stumbles upon a mysterious trad,” reads the official synopsis of the film, which is mentioned in the censor details.

Mammootty to play a negative role?

From the official posters and the teaser that have been released so far, it is safe to assume that the veteran actor is indeed set to play a negative role in the much-awaited film. Mammootty is seen in a look that reminds of the ‘Kathi Vesham’ (antagonist) of the ancient temple art form Kathakali in one of the posters, which underlines that this character indeed has negative shades. In another poster, the megastar is seen performing a puja in front of a strange idol with the skulls of an animal and a human on the side, thus hinting that he is playing the role of a ‘durmanthravadi’ (black magician).
