Key Points

The Malayalam film industry has come a long history of putting out high quality cinema on shoestring budgets..

Aattam, which is now showing on OTT after winning critical acclaim in theatres, is yet another high calibre movie from the industry..

Directed by Anand Ekarshi, who has nearly two decades of theatre experience, the suspense drama with deep psychological undertones has been receiving rave reviews..

As I was making a movie with largely newcomers, except for people like Vinay Forrt and Kalabhavan Shajohn, I had to show the producer what I was capable of..

The Malayalam movie industry has enjoyed a great run so far in 2024 with movies like Manjummel Boys, Brahmayugam, Premulu and Aattam doing so well.. Theres still plenty to come..
