In a recent announcement, the filmmakers unveiled a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video, providing fans with a sneak peek into the hard work and dedication behind the completion of the movie. Directed by the accomplished MC Jithin, ‘Sookshmadarshini’ has generated a buzz, especially as it heralds the return of Nazriya Nazim to Malayalam cinema after a four-year hiatus.
Supporting the lead pair, the movie features an ensemble cast including Deepak Parambol, Siddharth Bharathan, Merin Philp, Akhila Bhargavan, Pooja Mohanraj, and Kottayam Ramesh. This combination of experienced and emerging talents is expected to deliver an engaging cinematic experience.
The narrative of ‘Sookshmadarshini’ is a product of collaborative effort, with the screenplay co-written by director Jithin along with Athul Ramachandran and Libin TB. This collaboration promises to bring depth and layered storytelling to the silver screen.
The film’s visual appeal is attributed to the expert cinematography of Sharan Velayudhan, whose eye for detail and picturesque compositions are anticipated to elevate the narrative. Adding to the auditory experience is music composer Christo Xavier, whose melodies are set to resonate with the movie’s emotional undertones. The final touches are being meticulously put together by editor Chaman Chacko, ensuring a seamless viewing experience.
Produced under the banners of Happy Hours Entertainment and AVA Productions, ‘Sookshmadarshini’ is backed by the prominent trio of producers—Sameer Thahir, Shyju Khalid, and AV Anoop. Their collective vision has seen the film through its various stages, aiming not just for commercial success but also critical acclaim.
Basil Joseph, who has been riding high on the success of his previous films, was last seen in the comedy-drama ‘Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil’ alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran.
