Pranayam
Blessy, one of the most talented filmmaker and storyteller to grace Mollwyood after the late Padmarajan had been able to create excellent characters for his protagonists played by Mammootty, Mohanlal and Dileep. And whenever he was with our most versatile actor of our time Mohanlal in 'Thanmathra' and 'Bhramaram' the results were two of the best films that get into the all time best lists of Mollywood. Now Blessy is on the plans to go for a special movie with three living legends of Indian cinema- Anupam Kher, Jayapradha and Mohanlal. In fact, Blessy is for the first time attempting a tale entirely based on everlasting love, with his movie rightly titled as 'Pranayam'.
The movie will have Mohanlal as Mathews, who is a Philosophy Professor. He is of the view that life is more beautiful than a dream. And so it is mandatory to live life to its fullest. Anupam Kher is Achutha Menon, a former footballer. He was once selected to the state team but couldn't play any game in the league. He is still nurturing this loss as the biggest failure in his life.
But the link between Mathews and Achutha Menon was Gracy, who entered their lives in different points of time. The film would talk about their boundless love for each other.
Aryan and Nivedhitha will play the younger ages of Anupam Kaher and Jayapradha in the movie, which will have plenty of flash backs shots at Fort Kochy, Kulu Manali and Rivary in Haryana. Much of the other parts of the movie was captured on film by Satheesh kurup at locales in Ernakulam, Madhur and Dhanushkodi. Anoop Menon, Niyaz, Dhnaya mary Varghese also form the rest of the cast of the 'Pranayam'.
This unique portrayal of dimensions of love that transcends time, space and emotions, is produced by PR Sajeev and Annie Sajeev in the banner of Fragrant nature film creations. M.
