Lijo Jose Pellissery’s next to start rolling from July 1

After three months of no activity, Malayalam film industry is slowly getting back to work. Since the Covid-19 situation is not getting any better, taking safety precautions and coping up with it seems to be the only way forward. To ensure that their livelihood is not affected any further, many new filmmakers have started works.

Director Lijo Jose Pellissery has meanwhile announced his next film. Last day, he took to his social media handle to share an abstractly designed poster and also inform that shoot will begin on July 1. No details regarding the cast and crew have been revealed. Lijo’s announcement comes at a time when the Malayalam film producers association have expressed their displeasure over shoot of new films. They had decided that films that began shoot before lockdown should be completed first.

However, many new gen filmmakers are going ahead with their projects. Fahadh Faasil-Mahesh Narayanan team’s experimental project has already begun. It is not yet known if it is a feature or a short film. ‘Unda’ director Khalid Rahman’s new film starring Rajisha, Shine Tom Chacko and Veen Nandakumar was launched last day. ‘Haagar’, Aashiq Abu’s latest production venture is also set to go on floors on July 5.
