Govind Vasantha to compose for Nivin Pauly’s Padavettu

Recently, it was announced that Nivin Pauly would be starring in a movie titled ‘Padavettu’. Debutant Liju Krishna is directing the movie, which marks the maiden feature film production of actor Sunny Wayne. The makers have signed Govind Vasantha to compose music for the movie.

Govind is currently one of the most wanted music directors in the Tamil film industry. The sensational success of ’96’ has helped him bag back to back big projects in Tamil. It is after a long gap that Govind is scoring for a Malayalam movie. His last full length work in Malayalam was ‘Haram’, released four years back in 2015.

‘Padavettu’, according to the makers, is a rustic tale in which Nivin plays a naadan guy. Director Liju Krishna himself has scripted the movie. Earlier, he had directed a play titled ‘Moment Just Before Death’, which was also produced by
Sunny Wayne Productions.

Shoot for ‘Padavettu’ is expected to begin soon after Nivin wraps up ‘Thuramukham’.

Rima Kallingal to produce Soubin Shahir’s next

Rima Kallingal, who recently turned a producer with the multi-starrer ‘Virus’, is all set to start her next venture. She will be producing her husband Aashiq Abu’s upcoming directorial starring Soubin Shahir in the lead. Unni R is scripting the movie, which according to latest reports deals with a fantasy subject. The makers have planned to start shooting from August.

Apparently, it is a fascinating story of a ‘gandharvan’ who lands in Earth. Soubin will be essaying the lead role of the gandharvan. For the uninformed, ‘Gandharva’ is a mythological creature in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is a name used for distinct heavenly beings.

Fantasy is a genre that has seldom been tried in Malayalam. It must be noted that legendary filmmaker Padmarajan had helmed a similar fantasy film titled ‘Njan Gandharvan’ back in 1991. The film, which was about a girl and her passion for a celestial lover, who is invisible to others, is considered as a cult classic by Malayalam movie lovers.

Despite that, when a team like Aashiq Abu, Rima Kallingal, Unni R and Soubin Shahir come together, expectations will naturally be quite high. It is said that this film will steer clear of the usual stereotypes associated with the gandharva concept and instead be a socially relevant one. More details are expected to be revealed during the official announcement.

Maayaathe!!! Don’t fade away!!! Anything that’s true or genuine should always remain eternal, that’s what we all wish. So is true love.. !! It should stay boundless in all perspectives, It’s a promise or commitment that we make each other to stay together through the thick and thin Love is the happiness that you find in the little things when you are together. Now here’s a beautiful depiction of such a love story, which is timeless, that is eternal, ‘Maayaathe’!! This will be a totally new experience for you all, we hope. Just as the name says this probably may leave an imprint on your hearts that will never fade, but get deeper and sweeter as time goes, A newer definition of unending love and passion.

Ketaki Naryan and Rithu feature as the passionate lovers in the song. It is directed by Vyshagh KP and produced by Badusha. The song is composed by Charles Nazareth. He has also rendered the track along with Gowry Lekshmi. The latter has penned the lyrics as well.
