YV Rajesh, who had scripted the director's last film Gulumaal, has also written the script for Three Kings.

"It's an out-and-out comedy about three cousins, who live in the same household but hate each other.

The three are on a lookout for ways to make easy money and while at it, each of them tries to make things difficult for the other two.

This journey is the backdrop for the story," says Prakash, who started his career as a film director in Malayalam with the offbeat saga, Punaradhivasam.

He has also completed Karma Yogi, based on the Shakespearean drama, Hamlet.

Ram (Kunchacko Boban) is trying to make a quick buck by taking part in TV reality shows. Ranju (Ann Augustine) is his partner.

Shankar (Jayasurya) is an actor in some TV serials, while his fiance is Anju (Samvrutha Sunil).

Bhaskar (Indrajith) is a cricketer and Manju (Kadhal Sandhya) has been paired opposite him.

According to reports, Jayasurya's character does a spoof on the song Silsila hai silsila that became famous via the Internet.

Jayasurya sports a rather funny looking hairstyle to suit the eccentric nature of his character in the film.
