Ayyappanum Koshiyum tells the story of its title characters, Ayyappan Nair and Koshy Kurian, who lock horns over an incident and their egos take them on a wild trip. While Biju Menon played the character Ayyappan Nair, a policeman with unblemished records, Prithviraj was seen as a retired army havildar Koshy Kurian, who had put in 16 years of service.

While Pawan will reprise the role of Ayyappan Nair, which was played by Biju Menon; Rana will be seen in the role of Prithviraj.

Rana is expected to join the sets soon. It’ll be the first time he will share the screen space with Pawan Kalyan.
