Mammootty sir's range is incredible. From mass entertainers to such intense art house films with legends like Adoor Gopalakrishnan. A true icon of Indian cinema. Wishing the entire team all the best for the shoot!

While I'm excited, I hope the film gets a proper release and marketing. Sometimes these brilliant Adoor films don't reach a wide enough audience. Mammootty's star power should help. Fingers crossed!

Respectfully, I hope the film has a compelling narrative and isn't just banking on the legacy of the duo. Their past work sets a very high bar. The puja ceremony pics look great. All the best to the team.
