The film stars Mammootty as Pazhassi Raja, who almost defeated the British with his army comprising chiefly of valiant peasants and no sophisticated weapons; Sarath Kumar plays his courageous general.The Oscar man Rasool Pookutty, who is the sound engineer for this film, attended the press meet and was the centre of attraction. The talented and proud sound engineer regaled the press with his sense of humour; he jokingly added that nobody wanted his service before he won an Oscar but now everyone seems to be interested in working with him! Answering ever press reporter’s question patiently, Rasool stated that he found recording sound for Pazhassi Raja quite challenging, especially for war scenes and for the historic instruments which are obsolete now.
