Matroruvan (The Other Man) will see Riyaz Khan as the lone and the only 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 remains as to who that ‘Matroruvan’ is and whether it is a ghost or just an imagination cannot be guessed, Mathew said in a statement.
