Actor Riyaz Khan, who has starred in several Hinid, Malayalam and Tamil films, is set to feature in a full-length trilingual horror movie, which will have only him as a character, with a canine and elephant for company.
"Matroruvan" (The Other Man) will have Khan alone as a character in the film, with the script based on his dreams turning into reality.
"This is a psychology (based) story. The hero gets dreams which turn into reality. He gets a big dream and the climax of the movie is whether that one also comes alive," director of the film, Majo Mathew, said.
Khan, 43, has an "invisible villain" and the suspense is who is that "Matroruvan" and whether it is a ghost or just an imagination cannot be guessed, Mathew said in a statement.
Khan, known for his negative characters in many languages including Tamil, termed his role as "challenging."
Besides Khan, a dog and an elephant are the other 'live characters', the statement said adding the film will release in May in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
