What the poster shows
A bearded Nivin sits on a sofa in a cream T-shirt. He is holding a newspaper.
The poster says shooting is in progress.
Why it matters
Rukmini Vasanth is known for the Sapta Sagaradaache Ello films and Kantara: A Legend - Chapter 1. A Malayalam debut opposite Nivin is a notable cross-industry pairing.
Nashid Famy co-wrote Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey. This is his first film as director.
The film is billed as a family entertainer with humour and romance. That is familiar ground for Nivin.
Nivin's biggest hits, from Premam to Bangalore Days, mixed humour with romance. NP 51 seems to return to that space.
