Knot features Vineeth Kumar and Anagha Narayanan in the lead roles.
The cast also includes Joohi Jayakumar, Bigg Boss fame Cerrena Ann Johnson and Sreejith Babu, among others.
With the makers yet to reveal the full plot, audiences currently have limited information about the nature of the story. The decision to keep the genre and narrative details undisclosed could allow the team to build curiosity ahead of the film’s eventual release.
Newcomers Asish and Kiran direct the film
Knot marks the directorial debut of Asish and Kiran, who have jointly written and directed the project.
The film is produced by Devarajan Kunju Pillai under the banner of Deva Films.
While the filmmakers have not disclosed extensive details about the story, the completion of a 45-day schedule indicates that the production has reached an important stage.
Further announcements regarding the plot, genre, cast and release plans are expected from the makers.
Sajith Purushan handles cinematography
On the technical front, Knot has cinematography by Sajith Purushan, while Toby John is responsible for editing.
The technical crew brings together experienced professionals behind the camera as the debutant directors shape their first feature project.
With filming now complete, post-production is expected to be the next major stage before the makers begin revealing more information about the film.
Knot marks Vineeth Kumar’s first solo lead role since Simon Daniel

Anagha Narayanan’s growing filmography
Anagha Narayanan has also established herself as a promising performer in Malayalam cinema.
She is particularly known for her performances in Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam and Dear Vaappi.
