Directed by Sachy, the Malayalam original Ayyappanum Koshiyum stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Biju Menon. The film chronicles the life of a police officer Ayyappan, who always strives to do the right thing. The entry of a retired army man, Koshy, in his village brings a twist in the story and leads to ego-clashes between the two.
