Plot

In the state of Kerala, the sudden death of the Chief minister P. K. Ramdas (PKR) ( Sachin Khedekar), leaves a huge vacuum in not only the electoral and leadership sphere of his party (Indian United Front) but also that of the state. Ramdas is survived by his daughter Priyadarshini "Priya" Ramdas ( Manju Warrier) and son Jathin Ramdas ( Tovino Thomas). Senior leaders of the IUF party, Mahesha Varma ( Saikumar) and P. S. Peethambaran ( Nandhu) both expects to be nominated as the next chief minister of the state, but the front-runner for the seat is Stephen Nedumpally ( Mohanlal), Ramdas' confidant and rumoured step-brother of Priya and Jathin. Stephen has much larger public support than any other member of the party.

Meanwhile, Bimal Nair aka Bobby( Vivek Oberoi), the businessman second husband of Priya devises plans to take complete control over the party by funding it and thereby facilitate unchecked drug trafficking in exchange for money. On the day of P.K.R's cremation, both Jathin and Bobby do not show up, Jathin who is abroad informs that he is in a camping trip while Bobby went to Mumbai to cut a deal with Fyodor, a Russian drug dealer. On that night, Bobby brings drugs to his drug addict step-daughter Jhanvi ( Saniya Iyappan). She takes it and shows discomfort when he hugs. On the same night, Bobby arrives at a party meeting convened by him with all the IUF ministers. He informs his sole decision to nominate Jathin, a novice as the next Chief minister against the party nominations. The ministers are forced to comply.

Varma advises Bobby that it is best to go in good terms with Stephen to avoid a future hindrance. The next day, in the presence of Bobby, Varma briefs Stephen the party's new agenda and invites him to ally. Stephen states his objection of funding the party with drug money. He also warns them against doing it. This enrages Bobby who in turn assigns Sanjeev, the C.E.O and founder of NPTV, a news channel funded by IUF party and Arundhati ( Nyla Usha), his wife, to defame Stephen. Channel reporter Raju ( Adil Ibrahim) is send to Govardhan ( Indrajith), a person obsessed with finding hidden information and had once published a Facebook video about IUF members. The meeting doesn't provide information about Stephen but Govardhan hands over a file marked "X Files" containing evidences against Bobby. Sanjeev hand over this to Bobby, who manages to put Govardhan in an asylum.

Bobby sends a group to a closed timber factory at Nedumpally. Stephen who comes to know about this single handedly defeats everyone and clears the scene. At this point, Aloshy Joseph ( Kalabhavan Shajon), Stephen's right hand is shown to be a mole working for Bobby. Bobby from Priya's diary happens to find that she despises Stephen due to the fact that her father loved him a lot and bringing him to their house in her childhood caused a rift between her parents. Stephen runs an institution for charity that houses abandoned people. Sanjeev manages to bribe one of the inmates Aparna ( Shaun Romy) to speak against Stephen in their channel show. She lie that Stephen is the father of her infant child and he had raped her. This creates a widespread protest in the state and Stephen is arrested and imprisoned. Stephen gets a phone call in prison from Zayed Masood ( Shanavas K. Bavakkutty).

Meanwhile, Jathin arrives in the state impresses the people through his public speech. Bobby brings Jathin to India who impresses the people through his speech. While transferring fund to Bobby, Fyodor's vehicles are attacked and the money is destroyed. It is found that they were attacked by Zayed Masood and his gang who demands the release of Stephen. Varma meets Medayil Rajan ( Shivaji Guruvayoor), the opposition party leader to arrange Bhadran ( Bala) to murder Stephen in the prison. But Stephen defeats them. Varma is left with no other choice other than to release Stephen. Meanwhile, Jhanvi who takes an excessive dose of L. S. D is taken to the hospital where Priya comes to know about Bobby's lustful behaviour towards Jhanvi. She threatens to expose him who, however, threatens to destroy Jhanvi's life as he has information about her contacts with local drug suppliers. He also indicates that he was responsible for the death of P. K. R and Jayadevan, her first husband. Mayilvaahanam ( John Vijay), the commissioner of police, who also knows about the issue persuades Priya to sleep with him. Priya meets Stephen who vows to protect them at any cost.

Stephen and his men kills Mayilvaahanam and meets Sanjeev. Clearing the channel's debts, he convinces Sanjeev to hand over the evidences against Bobby. He gives it to Jathin who holds a press meet and exposes Bobby. Meanwhile, Jathin tells Varma that he came to India not because Bobby asked him to do so but on Stephen's orders. Bobby retreats to the slums of Mumbai where he is captured by Fyodor's men. When Fyodor is about to kill him, Stephen with the help of Zayed kills Fyodor and his goons and shoots Bobby. Aloshy is murdered by Murugan ( Baiju Santhosh) who happens to be Stephen's spy. Govardhan is rescued and reunited with his wife ( Sshivada) and daughter. Jathin becomes the new Chief minister. Meanwhile, in a remote location in Russia, Stephen meets Zayed and team and attends a phone call as Khureshi Ab'ram. In the closing credits, headlines of various international newspapers are shown reporting Khureshi Ab'ram as the head of an Illuminati society.

Development

In mid-2012 there were reports that a film titled Thottappan was in development. It was to be directed by Rajesh Pillai, scripted by P S Rafeeque, starring Mohanlal and produced by Devadas Kadancheri & Shailaja Manikandan of Aashirvad Cinemas. It was intended to be released in 2013. [4] [5] Shortly after these initial reports, Pillai confirmed the project saying it is his "dream come true" to direct Mohanlal and the film will be a "treat" for his fans. Filming was to begin in 2013. [6] However, in May 2013, Pillai said the production would not begin that year as planned since he was busy with Motorcycle Diaries and Murali was working on Left Right Left. They were to discuss the project in June and hoped to begin filming by January 2014. He also disclosed that Thottappan is a thriller, and its story has been developed. [7] Pillai's regular collaborator Kunchacko Boban was reported to be part of the cast. Boban said that he had not officially signed to do the film, at the same time he did not deny the possibility. [8] Pillai confirmed Murali would act in the film. [9] Only Mohanlal and Murali had been decided upon as part of the cast as of May 2013. [10] In July 2013, it was reported Murali had begun screenwriting. [11] However, the plan did not come to fruition and Pillai moved on to work on other projects. [12] He died of health issues in February 2016. [13] Ultimately, the film was dropped. [14]

In a July 2016 interview, Murali revealed to The Hindu that he is planning to work on a screenplay titled Thottappan between his other commitments. [15] On 15 September, actor Shanavas K. Bavakkutty announced that Thottappan, written by Murali, starring Mohanlal and produced by Aashirvad Cinemas, would be his directorial debut. [16] Murali and Prithviraj clarified that it is not the same film as Pillai's Thottappan, but they have taken the same title (Aashirvad Cinemas had registered that title in 2012 with the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce). [17] [18] While talking about Thottappan's inception, Murali said he had prepared two one-line stories both under the working title Thottappan. Pillai was to direct the film based on the first story, but that film did not materialise. After which, Murali abandoned that story. The second story was narrated to Prithviraj and he liked it. [14] [19] Murali had discussed this story with Mohanlal in 2012, but there had been no decision made on a director. [20] [21] Murali said Prithviraj was interested in directing a film based on his screenplay and they had discussed it for about a year. Prithviraj also had an interest to cast Mohanlal in his directorial debut, and that is when he decided to share the story idea of Thottappan with Prithviraj. [18] [22] Murali pitched the idea while they were having a casual chat on the sets of Tiyaan (2016) in Ramoji Film City. [23] [24] Prithviraj was interested yet skeptical whether Mohanlal and Devadas Kadancheri & Shailaja Manikandan would agree with the idea of a debutant directing Thottappan as "it was a story that any big filmmaker would say yes to". The next day Antony went to Hyderabad for discussions and reached Mohanlal by telephone, and the project was set in motion. [25] [26] According to Prithviraj, "the thought behind the film and what the film can be" attracted him. [27] Murali was planning to write the final draft of the screenplay after completing his acting commitments in Tiyaan and Kammara Sambhavam. [18]

In December 2016, Mohanlal said Thottappan was still in its nascent stage and needed to be developed into a screenplay saying, "the content has to be good and that's what the focus is right now". [28] In February 2017, Prithviraj said they would begin the pre-production later in 2017 and filming would happen in 2018. [27] [29] On 2 April, Mohanlal, Prithviraj, Murali and Antony convened a press conference at Mohanlal's residence in Kochi to announce the official beginning of pre-production. [30] Prithviraj said the script had not been "fleshed out" and the rest of the cast would be decided after that had happened. [31] [32] Shortly after, Prithviraj bought a new apartment in Thevara as a work-space for scripting and pre-production work on Thottappan and his future projects; "I felt I needed a space to assemble my team. Do the research and develop the film. This place might well be known as Thottappan's office in future", he said. [33] In a June 2017 interview, Prithviraj said that Thottappan should be released in 2019. [34] Murali told The Hindu in October that he would take a break after acting in Kammara Sambhavam to write the script for Thottappan. He hoped to complete it by February 2018. [35] In December, Prithviraj said the script was progressing and plans are to shoot the film by the end of May or beginning of June 2018 after he completes the first schedule of Aadujeevitham. [36]

Murali and Prithviraj narrated the final draft of the screenplay to Mohanlal on 26 March 2018 on the sets of Odiyan. He was happy with the script and agreed to go ahead with shooting. [37] Location scouting began in April 2018. [38] In June, Mohanlal told The Times of India that the film would be shot in Kerala, Mumbai, and in a foreign location. The team was on the verge of finalising the locations in Thiruvananthapuram by the end of the month. Prithviraj disclosed in a channel podcast that filming would begin on 18 July. [39] [40] This was later updated to 16 July. [41] [42] Close to the beginning of shooting the film, Prithviraj hinted the film deals with politics. [43] However, he said "it's a not a movie about politics but the story happens with politics in the background". [44] The names of the technical crew were revealed in July when the first poster was released. It carries the tagline "blood, brotherhood, betrayal". [45]

Casting

In 2014, while appearing on the Tamil talk show Koffee with DD, Prithviraj said that Mohanlal and Manju Warrier are his "dream cast" if he ever directs a film. [46] [47] In September 2016, actor-writer Murali said that he was uncertain whether he would be acting in the film, noting that it was premature to discuss the cast other than Mohanlal. [48] Ultimately he did not participate. In January 2018, Madhusudhan Rao confirmed being cast in the film. He had co-starred alongside Prithviraj in Adam Joan (2017) during which he was promised a role in Thottappan. [49] In the following month, Lena placed Thottappan on her list of upcoming acting commitments. [50] Both Rao and Lena were not part of the final cast. Following unconfirmed reports of Warrier's casting in May, a source close to the actress confirmed the news to The Times of India. However, when asked, the production house stated the casting process was progressing and was subject to changes. [51] [52] She was finally cast in the role of Priyadarshini Ramdas. [53]

In June, it was reported Saniya Iyappan was added to the cast. [54] She plays Jhanvi, daughter of Priyadarshini. [53] In early July, producer Antony revealed Hindi actor Vivek Oberoi was working in the film and expressed his gratitude for having him on board. [55] [56] Thottappan marks Oberoi's debut in Malayalam cinema. He took a month preparing for the role and retained a diction coach to help him understand the Malayalam language and its pronunciation. [57] In the film, Oberoi's voice was dubbed by Vineeth. During post-production, Prithviraj himself dubbed all the dialogues of Oberoi and gave it to Vineeth as a reference for the character's sound modulation. [58] In July, Prithviraj confirmed that his brother Indrajith Sukumaran is part of the cast. [23] [59] He plays the character Govardhan. [60] In that month, Pouly Valsan said that she has been called for a 6-day shoot. [61] In August, Mamta Mohandas said Prithviraj had spoken to her about a role, but cannot reveal anything about it at that time. [62] However, she was replaced by Nyla Usha.[ citation needed]

Prithviraj invited director Fazil to play the role of Father Nedumpally, a priest. Fazil, who had not acted in a film for nearly 34 years, commented that he agreed to take the role as he could not refuse Prithviraj. [63] His role is as a mentor to Stephen. [64] Prithviraj cast his Ranam co-star Giju John in a role. [65] Tovino Thomas, Sachin Khedekar, Shivaji Guruvayoor, Nandhu, John Vijay, Kalabhavan Shajohn, Saikumar, Baiju Santhosh are among the other actors cast in the film. Prithviraj also acted in the film as Zayed Masood. His role was kept under wrap and was revealed only two days before the film's release. [66]

On the same day, the film was also shot at a resort in Poovar. Mohanlal, who was on a break, returned to the set on 21 August. [78] [79] Warrier was spotted during the shoot at Azeezia Medical College in Kollam. [80] Filming went on at the Kanakakkunnu Palace on 28 August, where Mohanlal and Warrier took part. [81] During the shoot, many of the white taxis were transformed into official state cars. [82] By the end of the month, Tovino joined the set at the Kanakakkunnu Palace grounds. [83] He completed his part in the film by early September. [84] Before his departure, his scenes with Warrier were shot at the beginning of the month and his other scenes later in September. The shoot in Thiruvananthapuram was scheduled to last until 20 September, and then was to move to Kuttikkanam. [85] Oberoi acted in a scene shot at the Greenfield International Stadium early that month. [86] Saikumar and Shivaji Guruvayoor took part in the shoot that took place at a university hostel in Thiruvananthapuram in the beginning of September. [87]

In an interview, actor Nandhu said that many of the film's scenes comprised 40–50 shots and contain 500–1000 junior artists; some have as many as 3000–4000 artists. [73] Filming went on around the overpass beside the Chandrasekharan Nair Stadium in Palayam on 4 September. [88] [89] More than 2000 junior artists participated in that scene. It features Stephen arriving toward a large riot. [90] Around 5000 junior artists took part in a major scene shot in Adimalathura beach; more than 100 vehicles were used. Reportedly, almost every major character in the film was present in that scene. [91] It was filmed in 15 days. [73] After the schedule at Thiruvananthapuram was completed on 20 September, the production was put on hold for a break and the next session began on 5 October in Kuttikkanam. [92]

Giju John joined the set in early October and took part in a one-day shoot in Thiruvananthapuram and later joined at Kochi location for his remaining scenes. [65] For filming a fight scene, Prithviraj went for location scouting in Minicoy, Lakshadweep later that month. [93] [94] Stunt Silva was the film's fight choreographer. [95] Shooting was scheduled for three days from 30 October to 1 November in Thiruvananthapuram for scenes featuring Tovino and Indrajith. Filming in Kerala was complete by this schedule and the next session was scheduled to begin in Mumbai from 4 November. [96] [97] A set was built in Mumbai, Prithviraj said: "I have a wish that the Mumbai we show in Thottappan is not what we have seen before in films. It's a major schedule". Mohanlal joined the set by mid-November. [44] Sachin Khedekar was part of the Mumbai scenes. [98] The team moved to Russia in December, where filming was held at Saint Petersburg.

And encourage makers of #Malayalam films to explore newer markets, ...".
