Hello everyone!
I’ve been shooting for Dijo Jose Anthony’s “Jana Gana Mana” since the 7th of October. We had strict protocols in place with regards to Covid regulations and associated safety measures. As is the norm, all involved in the shoot were tested before the schedule started and after the last day of shoot in the courtroom set we had put up, tests were repeated. Unfortunately, the test results this time came back positive and I have gone into isolation. I’m asymptomatic and am doing fine now. All primary and secondary contacts have been advised to isolate and get tested. Hoping to recover soon and get back to work ASAP. Cheers and thanks for the love and concern. ?

‘Jana Gana Mana’ is directed by Dijo Jose Antony of ‘Queen’ fame. Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu are playing the lead roles in the film. Since Prithviraj has tested positive, all the crew members are expected to be in isolation for the next few days.

Murali Gopy-Rathish Ambat combo’s next after Kammarasambhavam to begin early next year

The ‘Kammarasambhavam’ combo of Murali Gopy and Rathish Ambat are reuniting for a new film. Last day, Murali took to his social media handle to share a selfie, which is probably taken during one of their discussion sessions. He also informed that their new film will go on floors early next year.

Prithviraj is said to be playing the lead role in the film. Unconfirmed reports suggest that it will be an action flick, that will be different from the regular mass entertainers. Despite being a debutant, director Rathish Ambat was highly impressive with his filmmaking aesthetics in ‘Kammarasambhavam’. Though the film was not a big commercial success, it got widespread appreciation post its television premier and digital release. Even with the limited resources, the director showed immense potential in helming a big scale multi-genre film.

Naturally, expectations will be on the higher side for Murali Gopy-Rathish Ambat duo’s new film. A formal announcement with full details regarding the cast and crew is expected to be made shortly.
