The film has already earned its share of praise from its international festival run (it

had its world premiere at International Film Festival Rotterdam) and is due for release
in India. “It’s a story of a father who rediscovers himself through his spastic daughter.
Any actor could’ve played the father but I was hell-bent on roping in Mammootty sir
because he’d make the character stronger than it actually is.” Ram went on to add that
the film’s theme is compassion and he wants audiences to understand it from the
perspective of a helpless father.

Popular choreographer Dinesh made his acting debut via Tamil film Oru Kuppai
Kathai, in which he played a garbage collector. Talking about playing the character,
he told Firstpost, “It’s a story that needed to be told. I didn’t have any qualms playing
a garbage collector because I had no inhibitions as an actor. We actually shot scenes
in real landfills. We went around a few places in the city and actually collected
garbage.”

Dinesh added that he took pride in playing a garbage collector. “By playing such a
character on screen, we’re also reminding audiences that there’s nothing to be
ashamed about this profession. We always talk about dignity of labour and that’s
exactly what we portrayed through this character.”

Actor-filmmaker SA Chandrasekhar was recently seen playing real-life social activist
