Kaanumbol song from Vikrithi grabs attention; Trending in YouTube

‘Vikrithi’ starring Suraj Venjaramoodu and Soubin Shahir in the lead roles is gearing up for release next month. After the positive response for the trailer, the makers had recently released a video song online. The track titled ‘Kaanumbol’ features the budding romance Soubin and his pair, played by a talented newcomer. The song has grabbed attention in social medias and has already fetched over 4 lakh views online. It is also in the trending list in YouTube.

‘Vikrithi’ scripted by Ajeesh P Thomas and directed by Emcy Joseph is a film inspired from a real life incident. Couple of years back, when the Kochi metro started functioning, there was an incident when a middle-aged man was seen sleeping casually on the metro seats. Assuming him to be a drunkard, some of the fellow passengers took his photos and shared it online. It soon went viral but only to be later learnt that the man was hearing-impaired and had lied down on the seat as he was tired. When news came out about his real condition, it was a moment of big collective embarrassment for the Malayali social media circle.

‘Vikrithi’ is inspired from this incident. In the film, Suraj Venjaramoodu plays the disabled person’s role and Soubin essays the role of the guy who took his photos. From the trailer, we could make out that Suraj’s character is a family man living with his wife and kids while Soubin’s character is a Gulf returnee looking for a suitable partner. The film looks highly promising and seems to be one of those slice-of-life flicks with a feel good element in it.

A D Sreekumar, Ganesh Menon and Lakshmi Warrier are jointly producing ‘Vikrithi’ under the banner of Cut 2 Create Pictures. Century Films will be presenting the movie in Kerala.
