Great to see Malayalam cinema getting such a strong technical crew from across industries. Rajeev Ravi's cinematography is always a treat. Hoping the story lives up to the hype. All the best to the team!
Yuvan Shankar Raja on board! That's a huge plus. The music in 'Pani' was subtle and powerful. Hope he brings that same magic. Also, Joju has a packed year with 'Aja: Sundari' and 'Varavu' as an actor. Busy man!
The collaboration looks promising. As someone who loved 'Pani', I hope 'Paripadi' maintains that raw, authentic storytelling. Sometimes second directorial ventures can feel pressured. Fingers crossed it's another gem.
Solid technical team announced. But the real test is the script. Joju proved himself with 'Pani', so I have faith. Hope it's not just style over substance. Malayalam cinema needs more directors like him who understand grassroots stories.
Wow! What a lineup. From Venu Kunnappilly producing to Anbariv doing stunts... this is a dream team. Can't wait for the first look. Joju George sir, please don't keep us waiting too long! 🙏
