Kunchacko Boban has been the popular loverboy, who stole millions of hearts, ever since he made his debut in Aniyathipravu in 1997.

Young hero Jayasurya will play the lead in Kunjaliyan, scripted by Krishna Poojappura and directed by Saji Surendran. The team had churned out two superhits in a row, Ivar Vivahitharayal and Happy Husbands.

However, the third film, Fo(u)r Friends turned out to be a dud at the box office.

In Kunjaliyan, Jayasurya is the kid brother of three sisters and they are very affectionate about him. Their husbands are not impressed by the brother-in-law but are in for a shock when he becomes really successful in life.

Jayasurya is currently shooting for T V Chandran's Sankaranum Mohananum, for which he will sport several different looks.
