CHENNAI: National Award-winning actor Parvathy Thiruvothu is set to spearhead Don Palathara’s next directorial venture, co-starring filmmaker-actor Dileesh Pothan.

Director Don Palathara’s cinema is known for its subtle emotional layers and exploration of human relationships. Talking about the collaboration, Parvathy said, “Don Palathara’s movies hold up a mirror to how we live and love, often without judgment or noise.

To step into that kind of world as an actor is liberating. His films are powerfully meditative. As an actor, I find that kind of space exhilarating because it demands that you unlearn performance and simply be. This is also incredibly challenging. Working with him has been on my wishlist for a while, and I’m thrilled that this project came my way. And to share the screen with Dileesh, someone whose creative sensitivity I’ve admired for years, feels like an opportunity to be a student again.”
