Kadhaas Untold
‘Kappela’ is directed by actor-turned-filmmaker Muhammed Mustafa. He has also scripted the film jointly with Nikhil Vahid and Sudhas. Anna Ben, Sreenath Bhasi and Roshan Mathew play the lead roles. It is the story of a young woman from a rural background who gets trapped in a particular situation. Basically, the film tries to tell how human perceptions can go awfully wrong. The relevant issue discussed in the film coupled with a suspense-filled screenplay ensures that the film can be remade in any language with some tweaking to make it appealing to the native audience.
