Shine Tom Chacko who gained popularity with several supporting roles will be playing the lead role for the first time in Binu’s upcoming project Ithihasa. In a recent interaction with the media, Shine has shared his feelings on how he ended up as an actor.

He said, “From a young age, I dreamt of becoming an actor. I knew it wasn't that easy. Director Kamal and I are family friends and so I knew somehow I could get into films. After Plus Two, I approached Kamal sir; I couldn't ask him for a role then, but started assisting him. For 10 years, I worked as an assistant director. My first project was Kamal's Gaddama in which I played the role of a shepherd. Later I assisted Aashiq Abu and Samir Tahir and continued with my acting career.”

Anushree plays 'a boy turned girl' role in Ithihasa. Rajesh Augustine is producing the movie under the Arka Media Works banner.
