The Wild Sorcerer*, starring Jayasurya and Anushka Shetty, is based on the legends of the Kathanar, a priest from Kerala who was believed to possess supernatural powers.

The first look of this fantasy horror drama was unveiled by the makers on Thursday, coinciding with Jayasurya's birthday. Directed by Rojin Thomas, the film features Anushka Shetty in a prominent role. The story is rooted in the legends of Kathanar from Kadamattom, who was thought to have extraordinary powers.

The two-minute teaser presents Jayasurya as a priest imprisoned by church authorities who believe he is responsible for the destruction of their church due to some malevolent forces. Meanwhile, the villagers appear to be afflicted by a mysterious disease. The teaser exudes a chilling excitement, with the appearance of unusual faces on screen and a background score that heightens the sense of awe.
