As Iratta, an out-of-the-box police drama, is set to hit the theatres, director Rohit MG Krishnan speaks exclusively with South First.

“I kept looking for an apt subject and other aspects of a movie that could work well in terms of our budget.”

Entertainment

“It led me to an incident that happened in Kerala that had almost gone unnoticed. Inspired by it, I created a completely different story.”

Entertainment

“In 2019, director Sajid Yahya said that he will produce the movie. He took us to Joju George.”

Entertainment

“Even though Joju George has done different police roles, none are repetitive. In such a case, what we can do is trust the actor.”

Entertainment

“We had several artists in mind but finally decided to cast Anjali. We wanted someone relatively new to play the role that brings a novelty aspect.”

“I decided to do the movie on a small scale but after Joju heard the story, he said that we will do the movie on a big canvas.”

Entertainment

“The promo song was recreated with Joju George. In the movie, the song is sung by Benedict Shine.”

Entertainment

“We had told Jakes Bejoy about different music suitable for the movie. The songs in Iratta are different from his earlier works.”

Entertainment

“Irrata is about twins played by Joju George. The story deals with the emotional breakdown and relationship between these two characters.”
