The combination of Paul George's direction and Ajaneesh Loknath's music is enough to get me excited! After Kantara 2, I have high expectations from the BGM. Hope they don't disappoint.
Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about these "pan-Indian" films. Many recent attempts have failed to deliver quality content across all regions. Hope Kattalan breaks this trend with solid storytelling.
So happy to see Rajisha Vijayan getting good projects! She's such an underrated actress in Malayalam cinema. The casting looks perfect with a mix of established stars and fresh talent ðŸ‘
The technical team looks solid - Dhanya Balakrishnan for costumes and Renadive for cinematography! After seeing their work in other films, I'm sure the visual treatment will be top-notch.
Sunil from Pushpa in a Malayalam film? 😠This is what true pan-Indian cinema should be - bringing together talents from different industries organically. Hope the script does justice to all these amazing actors!
