After revealing few details about the movie, the makers have now claimed that Jayasurya will be seen as a mentalist, who has extraordinary mental powers like mind-reading, in the upcoming movie touted as a horror thriller.

"Lot of mystery surrounding John Don Bosco. Many think he is the pretham. Many think he is the pretham catcher. Many think he is the hero. Many think he is the villain. Well.. John can be all of these. But professionally he's a MENTALIST. He can read your minds and much much more. Google to know more [sic]," Jayasurya posted on his Facebook page while sharing a poster featuring him.
