A. R. Rahman is expected to do a cameo in an upcoming Malayalam movie. The film is being directed by Shajoon Kariyal, and is being co-produced by Biju Menon.

The story revolves around five friends and Biju Menon plays one of them. Lal, Suresh Krishna, P. Sukumar and Sunil Babu are the remaining four lead actors.

"According to the story, Biju works in A. R. Rahman's orchestra. So the team is planning to convince Rahman to do a cameo and also grant them permission to shoot some scenes inside his studio," sources say.

They add that Rahman is likely to give his consent to play a role, in front of the camera. "Even if he fails to do so, he will surely allow us to shoot at his studio, in Chennai," add sources.
