Debutante Archita Anish Kumar to play the female lead in Poomaram

One of the most promising filmmakers currently in Mollywood, Abrid Shine’s next movie Poomaram is on the verge of completion. The movie marks the debut of Kalidas Jayaram as a lead actor in Malayalam.

Poomaram is a campus based movie that has youth festival as a major part. Abrid Shine roped in newcomer Archita Anish Kumar to play the female lead in the movie. Archita is a known name in campus youth festival circuits. Apparently, the director spotted her at a youth festival last year in Thodupuzha. She has almost completed shooting for the movie. Though she is playing the female lead, she does not have any combination scenes with Kalidas Jayaram.

Poomaram also stars Kunchacko Boban, Meera Jasmine, Gayathri Suresh and many other supporting actors. The song, Njanum Njanumentalum, released last year was a huge sensation and popularised the movie among the masses. It was sung and composed by debutant Faizal Razi.

Gnanam is the cinematographer of this campus entertainer while Jith Joshie will handle the edits. The movie is jointly produced by Dr Paul Varghese and Abrid Shine.
