The release of Lanka may have been delayed.

But much is expected of the film as it is the first one to be shot in Sri Lanka.

Further, Suresh Gopi plays a libido-rich military man --- a character that has some negative shades.

He plays the role of Captain Saravan, the commander of the naval wing of the Indian Peace Keeping Force that was sent to Sri Lanka when Rajeev Gandhi was the Prime Minister. He is also the son of a businessman and a sexy Bollywood actress.

The other surprise is the glamour of Mamta.

As one wag put it, she is explosive in the movie.

Mamta is hoping that the movie will make her climb the ladder in Malayalam.

AK Sajan has directed the venture.
