Poomaram will release this year itslef: Kalidas Jayaram

Director Abrid Shine’s Poomaram has been in the making for a long time now. The movie marks the debut of Kalidas Jayaram as a lead actor in Mollywood. Shoot for the movie commenced last year and was supposed to hit screens by February this year. But shoot kept delaying due to some unknown reasons. Even trolls were made in social medias mocking the movie’s delay.

Some sections of online medias had even reported that Poomaram has been shelved. Finally, Kalidas Jayaram himself has come out clearing the airs about the movie’s release. In a recent interview to TOI, Kalidas informed that the movie’s shoot has been completed. He added that they took lot of time for shoot as they wanted to make the movie as perfect as possible.

He is quoted saying, “We have wrapped up the shooting and now the post production remains. A film is made just once, there is no retake once it’s over. So we have tried to make it as perfect as possible. There is no point in doing a bad job just to take it off our hands, people should like it. That’s why it took some time.”

He also added that only the post production works remain and that the movie will be releasing this year itself. Poomaram is reportedly a campus based movie with youth festival as a major part. Couple of songs from the movie ‘Njanum Njanumentalum’ and ‘Kadavathoru Thoni’ took social medias by storm. Both these songs topped the charts for months. The success of these songs have made the movie familiar with the audience even before it’s release.

Newcomer Archita Anish Kumar is playing a prominent role in the movie. Even though Archita is playing an integral part, she does not have any combination scenes with Kalidas Jayaram. The movie also stars Kunchacko Boban, Meera Jasmine, Gayathri Suresh and many other supporting actors.

Poomaram’s cinematography is handled by Gnanam. Jith Joshie is in charge of the edits. The movie is jointly produced by Dr Paul Varghese and director Abrid Shine.
