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.

Khan, known for his negative characters in many languages including Tamil, termed his role as “challenging”.

Besides Khan, a dog and an elephant are the other ‘live characters’, the statement said adding the film will release in May in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam.
