Chennai, May 15 : The makers of director Shaji Kailas's eagerly awaited Malayalam action survival thriller 'Varavu', featuring actor Joju George in the lead, have now revealed the name of the character that actress Sukanya plays in the film.

Olga Productions, the firm producing the film, took to its Instagram page to share Sukanya's poster and said, "Introducing Sukanya as Sister Daisy."

Expectations from the film have shot up ever since the makers released a trailer.

The trailer that was recently released begins with a voice over that says,"The pit in our home we ignore every day is the one we fall into first. And our enemies will burn us alive in it." Even as this voice over is on, we see a photograph of Paulson's (Joju George) family that comprises of his sister and brother along with him.

We then hear another voice say, "There are some morons who won't rest unless they hurt me." A third voice says, "Heard Paulson is out on a 10 day parole. Will that be a problem for us?" A fourth person says, "It'a a problem that's been hanging for a while."

Paulson, we learn from a conversation between two cops, is a murder convict who is out on parole. And what's interesting is that he is looking for revenge.

His arrival has set the cat among the pigeons and the villains are scurrying in fear. In fact, one of them is heard urging someone else to do something to cancel Paulson's parole. They are sure that Paulson will extract his revenge for Willy and that they will be ripped apart, piece by piece.

The trailer also shows that Paulson's elder sister, a nun (played by actress Sukanya), is the only one who wields some power over Paulson. She is shown asking him not to hurt anyone becuase of a grudge he holds against them.

The trailer shows one of Paulson's formidable foes Yohan(Abhimanyu Thilakan) takes on the task of dealing with him. He is seen assuring another person that this time, it is Yohan's plan.

Meanwhile, the cops are worried that despite five people lying in the ICU, they haven't been able to get a statement from even one of them. The cops are also seen saying,"People cheer for heroes who take revenge but the law never does."

The trailer shows Joju George say,"Even if we end in a potter's field because of this, so be it." The trailer has a dialogue that goes, "When we count those who betrayed us, we should also count the ones we betrayed. Only then does God's math adds up."

It's evident from the trailer that the film is a grim, revenge drama that is laced with action sequences.

It may be recalled that the makers had released the first look poster of the film on the occasion of the birthday of actor Joju George last year.

Sources say that the film combines the strength of the Malabar region with intense action-thriller elements.

The poster showed Joju intensely staring through a shattered jeep windshield, signalling that 'Varavu' would be a high-octane experience. Released with the tagline â??Game of Survivalâ??, the first look encapsulated the essence of the film.

Set against the backdrop of the Malabar region, 'Varavu' revolves around the life struggles of a character named Paulson, also known as Polachan.

Interestingly, 'Varavu' marks the first collaboration between Joju George and Shaji Kailas.

'Varavu' has been produced under the banner of Olga Productions, with Reji Prothasis and Nicey Reji as producers and Jomy Joseph as co-producer.

The film, categorized as an action-survival thriller, features spectacular stunts choreographed by South Indiaâ??s top stunt masters, including Anup Arivu, Stunt Silva, Kai Kingston, Jacky Johnson, Phoenix Prabhu, and Kanal Kannan.

Another highlight of 'Varavu' will be the return of popular actress Sukanya.
