Ace director Sathyan Anthikkad is getting ready for his next movie, with Jayaram in the lead. The director, who had created some great hits with the actor, has been with Lal and Dileep films for the last few years.

Before the recent hit in 'Veruthe Oru Bharya', the last super hit of Jayaram was also a Sathyan film 'Manassinnakakre' which came out five years ago.

Sathyan Anthikkad who himself scripts for all his recent movies, is in his last phase of scripting for this new Jayaram movie.

Sathyan is writing the dialogues for the story that he finds will go well with Jayaram's present image. The movie will have music by maestro Ilayaraja. The director is also looking for a fresh face to don the character of the heroine in this movie.

Sathyan will go out to the sets of this Jayaram starrer, probably by the first months of 2009.
