National Award-winning actor Parvathy Thiruvothu is set to star in filmmaker Don Palathara’s upcoming directorial venture, co-starring acclaimed filmmaker-actor Dileesh Pothan. The project marks Parvathy’s first collaboration with both Palathara and Pothan, and she describes the opportunity as both liberating and creatively challenging.
Parvathy praised Palathara’s filmmaking style, saying, “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.” She highlighted the director’s ability to invite reflection through cinema, which allows actors to immerse themselves fully into the experience.
“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,” she explained, emphasizing the depth and subtlety required in his films.
Parvathy revealed that working with Don Palathara had long been on her professional wishlist. She added, “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.” Her admiration for Pothan’s work underscores her excitement about the project and the collaborative environment it promises.
While plot details are still under wraps, the film is anticipated to be an emotionally intense drama, to be extensively shot across Kerala. Production is expected to commence soon, adding to the growing anticipation among cinema enthusiasts and Parvathy’s fans alike.
