Kuruthola Perunnal film puja held at AMMA office in Ernakulam

For the first time ever, the puja function of a film was held at the new office of Association of Malayalam Movie Actors (

AMMA

), on Monday morning.

The movie, titled ‘

Kuruthola Perunnal

,’ is directed by scriptwriter – turned – filmmaker

D K Dileep

, and the function was attended by celebrities like Sreenivasan, Edavela Babu, Binu Adimali and Bibin George. They came together to light the ceremonial lamp, to kick-start the film’s shoot.

‘Kuruthola Perunnal,’ which also has the tagline ‘Ini Angottu Aaghosham Maathram’ that translates to ‘All that lies ahead is celebration,’ has actors Sreenivasan and Hareesh Kanaran in major roles. The film’s music is by Jassie Gift and the director has revealed that Jassie will also be appearing in a song, in the film. The film’s songs are to be penned by B K Harinarayanan.

According to director D K Dileep, the film revolves around the practice of ‘kuruthola perunnal’ aka Palm Sunday, which is a Christian feast day that falls on the Sunday before Easter. It is held in the memory of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, and it is also part of the holy week. Dileep says, “In the Northern part of Kerala, people aren’t that familiar with the term ‘kuruthola perunnal.’ Our film, which has both the flavours of romance and comedy, has actor – writer – director Sreenivasan, who plays himself in the film, visiting a church priest who happens to be his friend, and inquiring more about the practice. It will also have a ‘film within a film’ format quite a bit.”
