South Indian star Parvathy Thiruvothu is set star in Don Palathara’s next directorial venture. The Malayalam film will also feature acclaimed filmmaker-actor Dileesh Pothan alongside Thiruvothu.
Palathara's cinema is known for its subtle emotional layers and exploration of human relationships as seen in films like "Family", "Santhoshathinte Onnam Rahasyam" and "1956, Central Travancore". Thiruvothu is known for her performances in "Uyare", "Take Off" and "Ullozhukku".
This project marks Thiruvothu’s first collaboration with Palathara and Pothan, and though details about the storyline are currently under wraps, the film is touted to be an emotionally power-packed drama that will be shot extensively across Kerala and is set to go on floors soon. Thiruvothu praised Palathara's filmography and said working with him has been on her wish-list.
"Don Palathara’s movies hold up a mirror to how we live and love, often without judgment or noise. To step into that kind of world as an actor is very liberating. His films are powerfully meditative. He invites us to actively engage in reflecting on how we live. As an actor, I find that kind of space exhilarating because it demands that you unlearn performance and simply be. This is also incredibly challenging,” Thiruvothu said in the statement.
"Working with him has been on my wish-list for a while and I'm thrilled that this project came my way. And to share the screen with Dileesh, someone whose creative sensitivity I’ve admired for years, feels like an opportunity to be a student again," she added.
The actor will also be leading Hrithik Roshan’s debut production "Storm" and reuniting with filmmaker Bejoy Nambiar after 13 years since "Maryan".
