Varthamanam teaser; Parvathy-starrer looks relevant in the current socio-political situation!
Parvathy starrer ‘Varthamanam’ is gearing up for release. The film was recently embroiled in a controversy after the regional Censor Board reportedly denied permission to screen the film alleging that its theme is anti-national and could destroy religious harmony. After the issue heated up, the makers received a go-ahead from the Delhi Central Censor Board revising committee.
Last day, the teaser of ‘Varthamanam’ got released online. The film has Parvathy playing a character named Faiza Sufiya. She is a research student at the JNU. For the last few years, the university has been grabbing nationwide attention over the several political incidents and protests occurring in the campus. The film is actually inspired from these true events.
National Award winning filmmaker Sidhartha Siva of ‘101 Chodyangal’ and ‘Sakhavu’ fame, is directing the film. National award winner Aryadan Shoukath has scripted it based on the current socio-political issues in the country. He is also producing the film along with Benazeer of Benzy Productions.
Roshan Mathew, noted for his roles in ‘Moothon’ and ‘Kappela’, plays Parvathy’s romantic interest in ‘Varthamanam’. Veteran Siddique, Sanju Sivaram, Sudheesh, Nirmal Palazhi, Dain Davis and some non-Malayali actors are also part of the cast.
