Kalyani Priyadarshan wraps up her portions for Hridayam

We wrapped my portions for ‘Hridayam’ yesterday.

A lot of people don’t know this but what made me want to be a part of cinema growing up , wasn’t really the glamorous life that most people associate with the industry. My vacations were mostly visiting dad on sets.. and I never saw a man that happy… he was constantly joking and laughing around with his best friends. They were the happiest people… It was in those moments watching him work that I formed this dream about being in cinema… I wanted to grow up and have this kind of life.

The last two months, I got the chance to actually live out that exact dream of working like how acha did… with people who felt almost like family.

It’s been some of the happiest days of my life. I’m going to miss to every. single. person. on set.

Edit* @o_viswajith ! Thank YOU especially
