Martin Prakkat says his new film, ABCD, is a delightful tale of misadventures of two American-born confused youngsters who arrive in Kerala.



“Johns (Dulquer Salmaan) and Korah (Jacob Gregory), who were born and brought up in the United States (U.S.), arrive in Kerala. The two laidback youngsters have no particular aim in life. The story is mainly about their escapades during their stay in Kerala,” narrates Martin, who has co-written the script with Naveen Bhaskar, based on a story by two doctors, Sooraj and Neeraj.

The original plan was to start the shooting of the film in the U.S. but that had to be changed after it became difficult to get the required permission and the visas.



 “After Ustad Hotel, I am playing another non-resident Indian, which is indeed challenging for me, as I want the character to look different from the earlier one. The story is all about how Johns and Korah are trying to cope with all these interesting happenings here, after coming from the U.S.,” says Dulquer, after completing the shooting for the day.
The final shot is a procession with a group of students carrying placards and shouting slogans.
It is canned in the second take and the director announces ‘pack-up’ for the day.
Aparna Gopinath, a Chennai-based theatre artiste and dancer, is playing Madhumita, the female lead. Madhumitha befriends the two youngsters at a certain stage in the narrative.
ABCD is being produced by Shibu Thameens under the banner of Thameens Films. Cinematographer is Jomon T. John and music director is Gopi Sundar. Stills are by Anoop Chacko.
