Anchakkallakokkan: Porattu (transl. Boogeyman) is a 2024 Indian Malayalam-language crime action drama film directed by Ullas Chemban, written by Chemban and Vikil Venu, and produced by Chemban Vinod Jose through Chembosky Motion Pictures. The film stars Lukman Avaran, Chemban Vinod Jose, and Manikandan R. Achari. The narrative follows the investigation of a landlord's homicide and the truths uncovered as events progress.

Production

During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, Ullas Chemban found inspiration for the film from a casual conversation with a friend who shared a 10-second anecdote about a police officer. Ullas found the anecdote amusing, and encouraged by his brother Chemban Vinod Jose, he began developing it by collaborating with co-writer Vikil Venu. Scripting began in early 2022 and was finished by late 2022, after which pre-production work commenced.

Lukman Avaran, who worked on Chembosky Films' earlier production Suleikha Manzil, was approached by Ullas to play Vasudevan, an officer who joins the police as a rookie. Vasudevan is a timid and compassionate person due to his dysfunctional upbringing, and the film portrays his change in behavior from timid to daring due to the circumstances.

During pre-production, location scouting was done from Thiruvananthapuram to Kannur and involved a search for hill stations. The scouting locations included Malayattoor, Athirapally, Kannavam, Bonacaud, and several areas in Idukki, the latter of which was finalized as Chemban felt it resonated with the narrative. Artworks were done minimally, and the majority of the locations were actual places.
