Dhyan Sreenivasan to play lead in Manuel Cruz Darwin's film 'App Kaise Ho'

Dhyan Sreenivasan with Manuel Cruz Darwin

D Group's upcoming film 'App Kaise Ho', produced by Manuel Cruz Darwin, is gearing up for release. The film, written and directed by Vineeth Jose, will also see Dhyan Sreenivasan in the lead role. Anand Madhusoodanan has composed the background score, while Don Vincent has composed the music. Amjath and Manuel Cruz Darwin are jointly producing the film.

Dhyan had quite the year so far. His film 'Varshangellku Shesham' directed by his brother Vineeth Sreenivasan saw him the lead along with Pranav Mohanlal. The film also saw a special appearance by Nivin Pauly. The Vishu release that clashed with Fahadh Faasil's Aavesham was the talk of the town but opened to mixed reviews. More than the film, it was Dhyan's hilarious interviews that had people convinced to watch the film.

After Varshangellku Shesham, Dhyan was seen in Malayalee from India alongside Nivin Pauly. However, the film tanked at the box office.
