The combination of Antony Varghese and Rajisha Vijayan is always magical. But I hope the story lives up to the hype - too many pan-Indian films these days focus only on star power rather than content.
As someone who recently discovered Malayalam cinema, I'm thrilled about this! The technical team looks stellar too - Ajaneesh Loknath's music is always a treat. When can we expect the first teaser?
Sunil from Pushpa in a Malayalam film? Now that's something new! Hope they utilize his comic timing well. The multi-language casting is interesting but hope they don't compromise on authentic storytelling.
After the success of Marco, expectations are sky-high! But Cubes Entertainments has consistently delivered quality content. Fingers crossed 🤞 Hope the female lead gets substantial screen space and not just a decorative role.
The technical crew is top-notch - Renadive's cinematography combined with Ajaneesh's music will be a visual and auditory treat. But please don't make it another style-over-substance film. Malayalam cinema is known for its strong narratives.
