Director Dr. Biju and actor Indrajith, along with their producer, are heading to Shanghai this June to represent Mollywood at the 15th Shanghai International Film Festival. Their abstract film, Aakashathinte Niram (Colour of the sky), has been chosen among over 2,000 odd film entries as the final few to compete for the Golden Goblet Award.
"This is the first Malayalam film to have soared up to such a great height, so it is an honour for us to be able to represent the industry as well," says Indrajith. Of the film, he explains, "Even though the film stars big names like Nedumudi Venu, Prithviraj and Amala Paul, it is not what one would call a commercial venture. It's a story about four people on an island. The entire film was shot at the Andamans over a 30-day schedule."
The actor considers his role as a thief in this film to be one among the challenging characters he has played so far. "There are some characters that require you to be loud and in-your-face; while there are others that are more subtle. This film does not have as many dialogues as you would find in others. It's more about emoting with expressions and your eyes. It is definitely a challenge to be able to say so much without saying anything at all. Though, at the end of the day, it is an entertaining film that also provides food for thought," explains Indrajith.
The film will see a world premiere at the international festival.
