Actor Unni Mukundan to play the baddie in 'Janatha Garage'

Malayalam actor Unni Mukundan, known for his work in films such as "D Company", "Vikramadityan" and "Fireman", will make his Telugu debut with upcoming Jr. NTR-starrer "Janatha Garage".

"Unni has been roped in to play the baddie. It was after months of scouting for a suitable actor that the makers zeroed in on him. He will join the sets next month," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

On Friday, Unni confirmed via a Facebook post that he is "excited" to be a part of the project.

In the film, which will be directed by Koratala Siva, he will be playing superstar Mohanlal's son.

"It's a story that unfolds within a family between two cousins. NTR and Unni will be seen as cousins at loggerheads," the source added.

Devi Sri Prasad will compose the music.
