Ithihasa is a 2014 Indian Malayalam-language fantasy comedy film directed by Binu Sadanandan and written by Aneesh Lee Ashok and Anil Narayanan.

A spiritual successor to the film titled Mask starring Shine Tom Chacko and Chemban Vinod Jose was released in 2019.

The story, set in Kochi is about the body swapping of a shrewd pickpocketer Alvy and a conservative software professional Janaki.

Alvy, a thief and his friend Vikki come in possession of a pair of stolen magic rings.

In the post credits scene, the 2 robbers who stole the rings from the museum steal them again, but this time they try them on and swap bodies with each other.

Binu said in an interview that actors and actresses whom he initially approached rejected the script saying the story was too unbelievable.

Binu had interacted with Shine Tom Chacko earlier and was confident he could do the lead character.

There is a Hollywood film, The Hot Chick, with a similar storyline; Binu was confident about the subject and so I agreed to do it.
