A. R. Rahman is not performing a cameo in an upcoming Malayalam movie, as claimed by circles close to the project. The film which claimed so is being directed by Shajoon Kariyal is being co-produced by Biju Menon.

A source close to the Oscar winner said, "A. R. Rahman is not doing any role in any Malayalam film, or for that matter, in any film of any other Indian language. He has neither permitted nor authorised anyone to make any movie based on him or the members of his orchestra".

The story revolves around the life of five friends and Biju Menon plays one of them. Lal, Suresh Krishna, P. Sukumar and Sunil Babu are the remaining four lead actors.

"As per the story, Biju works in A. R. Rahman's orchestra. So the team is planning to convince Rahman to do a cameo and also to give permission to shoot some scenes inside his studio", sources close to the film said earlier.
