Rekha is making her debut as a lead actress in this film. She has played a cameo role as a child actor in the director Sathyan Anthikad’s directed film Pappan Priyappetta Pappan. Rekha is also the recipient of the Kerala Critics Film Award for Best Actor in a Debut Role.
Anoop shared the same poster of this film with a different caption, stating, “The inside story of that elusive vaccine.” The caption hints at the prospective plot of the film Checkmate.
As per reports, Checkmate is touted to be a suspense thriller. Interestingly, Ratish, the writer and director of the film is the cinematographer and composer of the film as well. Actors Lal, Swapneel Batra, Noel Ramos and others comprise the film’s cast. Ruslan Perezhilo is in charge of the Checkmate’s music while Prejish Prakash has handled the film’s editing.
As described in the first look of Checkmate, Anoop has claimed that this is the most expensive film of his career. The 47-year-old actor added that the film has been entirely filmed in New York and different parts of the United States of America.
Apart from Checkmate, Anoop has several films lined up in his pipeline. These include Beautiful 2, Ram, Devadaruvile Manju, etc.
Actor Anoop was first an anchor and gradually transitioned into acting. In an interview with the Film Companion portal, he was asked whether acting was tough initially or not. The Checkmate actor has no idea about it as he is not very well-equipped as an actor. According to him, he can’t dance, fight or have a 6 pack ab- some prerequisites for being an actor.
