Devananda's greatest performance, which captured the hearts of the audience with Malikappuram, will take place in this film. The film is a supernatural horror fantasy with a child protagonist.

Under the auspices of Maniyan Pillai Raju Productions, the title look for the new movie "Gu" by Maniyan Pillai Raju was made public on 17^th August 2023. On social media, the title poster for the movie directed by Manu Radhakrishnan has garnered interest.

The plot starts when a young girl named Munna and her parents travel to South Malabar to spend some time at an old ancestral home. They visit the temple to carry out the Theyam, which has been put on hold there for the past 25 years. This family home is filled with numerous relatives and kids. It gave Munna a lot of solace. With kids of the same age, there were several possibilities to run around and play in the roomy backyards. When this happens, some terrifying things happen to kids. The movie explores these occurrences afterward. Children are better than adults at finding answers to these problems. As a result, this movie can be classified as a kids' horror movie.

Devananda is playing the role of Munna here. After Malikappuram, Devananda's latest movie is 'Gu'. The father of Munna works for an IT firm in Bangalore. He spent ten years away from his family's house because of issues in his life. It presents the complexities of those problems as supernatural nightmare fantasies. The character who plays Munna's father is Saiju Kurup. Also appearing as Munna's mother is Aswathy Manoharan. Actress Aswathy has portrayed the main characters in the films Kakshi: Amminippilla, Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil, and the web series that is currently broadcasting Kerala Crime Files.

The director, Manu

The first film in Manu's filmography is Smart City by B Unnikrishnan. For the movie, he made his directorial debut as an associate. Thereafter, Manu's cinematic career began with collaborations with Arun Kumar Aravind and Nandan Kavil. He later went on to direct a few short films. It was in this situation Manu came to know that Maniyan Pillai Raju was waiting for a story. So contacted him. Manu then got in touch with him.

Manu and Maniyan Pillai Raju just so happened to watch Malikappuram together before a significant film. It was a fantastic performance by Devananda in it. We later watched Romancham together as well, which ended up being the biggest hit at the moment. He looked for the factors contributing to the thriller's popularity. These two flicks sparked a fresh discovery. I mentioned that I had a terrifying tale in mind that centered on a little boy. When Manu told Maniyan Pillai Raju about it, he enjoyed it even more. I was later assured that we could make this film after I had finished the first line.

A three-day acting camp was organized in Kochi. Niranj and Laya Simpson joined Devananda and a few newcomers at this rehearsal. Devendranath Sankaranarayanan, an acting instructor and casting director, joined this acting workshop as a coach. In Pattambi, the filming for the project 'Gu' will start on 19^th August 2023.
