​The Plot: A Tale of Dreams and Deceptive Sobriety
​The narrative follows the life of Ajeesh Hariharan, a spirited youth known as “Junior Prince” on social media, who is fueled by dreams of cinematic stardom. His world revolves around his father, Hariharan, and their bond is tested and celebrated through a series of relatable family moments. The plot takes a riotous turn when the father and son return home after a night of celebration, attempting—and failing spectacularly—to hide their inebriated state from the family matriarch. It is a feel-good family entertainer that beautifully balances comedy with the poignant theme of “returning home.”

​A Power-Packed Cast & Visionary Crew
​Directed by the renowned G. Prajith (the mind behind Oru Vadakkan Selfie)

​The ensemble cast: Jayaram and Kalidas are joined by the talented Asha Sharath and Ishani Krishna, with standout performances from Sharafudheen, Ramesh Pisharody, Anand Manmadhan, and Zhinz Shan.
​Creative Excellence: The film benefits from the creative direction and co-writing of Jude Anthany Joseph (2018: Everyone Is a Hero fame), alongside co-writer Aravind Rajendran.
​Technical Artistry: With a soulful soundtrack by Sanal Dev, visual depth by cinematographer Swaroop Philip, and precision editing by Shafeeque V.B., the film is a technical triumph.

​As the international rollout approaches on February 13, 2026, RFT Films invites you to witness this cultural event that promises to bridge the gap between regional brilliance and global acclaim.
