The master of mass entertainers, Joshiy, is back with yet another actioner, poised to ignite the screens once again. Titled Antony, the makers of the movie unveiled its trailer on Monday and the promo emphasises that it is going to be an action spectacle with Joju George and Kalyani Priyadarshan at the centre.
The 152-second trailer opens with a brief introduction to Avaran City, the fictional setting of the film. As the promo unfolds, it provides glimpses of the place and its numerous ruthless criminals.
Among them, Antony Anthrapper (Joju George) stands out as the most infamous, described by a police officer as having killed a sub-inspector, setting him on fire. The trailer also vividly depicts Antony’s prowess as he single-handedly overpowers and defeats his rivals.
However, the teaser emphasises that he is not the only person to look out for. Ann Mariya (Kalyani Priyadarshan), despite her affectionate and compassionate nature, refuses to passively endure the challenges thrown at her by life and those around her. One of the characters remarks, “Her interest is more on violence than academics,” as she is portrayed in a boxing ring, dominating her opponent, and then outside, confronting her rivals. However, it also becomes evident that Antony has a soft spot for Ann.
Antony also marks the reunion of the team behind Joshiy’s 2019 blockbuster Porinju Mariam Jose. In addition to Joju George and Kalyani Priyadarshan, Antony features Nyla Usha, Chemban Vinod Jose and Vijayaraghavan in significant roles. Its music is composed by Jakes Bejoy and Shyam Sasidharan handles the editing, mirroring the 2019 action film.
Penned by Rajesh Varma, the film has been bankrolled by Einstin Zac Paul under the banner of Einstin Media. While Renadive has handled its cinematography, Asha Sharath, Appani Sarath, Sijoy Varghese, Jewel Mary, Tini Tom, RJ Shaan, Jinu Joseph and Padmaraj Ratheesh will appear in key roles. Antony will hit the screens on December 1.
