Kasaba is a 2016 Indian Malayalam-language action thriller film[4] written and directed by Nithin Renji Panicker, starring Mammootty, Sampath Raj, Neha Saxena, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Jagadish played the important supporting roles.

Arjun and his fiancée get murdered in a blast mysteriously in Kaliyoor – a place located on the Kerala-Karnataka border.

Zachariah finds that the village head Parameshwaran Nambiar, along with Kamala, the in-charge of the brothel along had killed Raghavan.

Nambiar who is contesting district level elections, finds the caretaker of Kamala's brothel Thankachan, as a possible liability and kills him through his goons under the guise of a Maoist attack.

Zachariah tactfully arrests her for killing Raghavan and Nambiar by acting friendly, where he also rescues the workers from the brothel and in the end he helps Susan who was a sex worker at the brothel to come out of her immoral life and accepted her as his wife since she loved him and they move back to Kerala together.

[6][8] Raai Laxmi was earlier reported to be as the heroine,[9] but later Varalaxmi Sarathkumar was confirmed to be part of the film.

When an actor like Mammootty involves in such projects, it may lead to a "dangerous acceptance" of such actions and remarks in the society.

The Commission also sent a report to AMMA and Malayalam Cine Technicians Association with a request to revise the film's certification.
