According to a Cinema Express report, Divya confirmed that she plays the role of a nurse in the film, marking the fourth time she has portrayed a nurse on screen. In her last film the Cannes Grand Prix winner All We Imagine As Light too, she played the role of a young nurse working in Mumbai.
Asif Ali’s last film Kishkindha Kaandam was a huge success, with audience and critics praising the mystery thriller.
Thamar, who had worked in the advertising industry in Dubai for over a decade, made a mark in the Malayalam industry with his debut directorial Aayirathonnu Nunakal (1001 Lies). It was released directly on SonyLIV in 2023.
Besides winning critical appreciation for its storyline, writing, filmmaking, and performances, the film won the hearts of the OTT audience, too.
Before its OTT debut, the movie was screened at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) in December 2022, where it won accolades.
In an interview with South First, the filmmaker said, “The (1001 Lies) team initially feared that the audience at the IFFK might think it to be a copy of 12th Man (Mohanlal’s 2022 release with a similar story). But we were elated with the response.”
