The film, directed by Ratheesh Raju M.R., was shot in Kuttanad and Idukki. The story revolves around the happenings at a relief camp opened in a church at Kainakary in Kuttanad. The movie was filmed in 18 days.
Result of hard work
“We have done a lot of hard work. When we started shooting the film after the flood, the place was going through a drought-like situation. It was an arduous task to create the feel of floods and life of people in relief camps. The film is a result of the hard work of 150 people,” Mr. Raju said.
Apart from actors Ashkar Saudan, Sai Kumar, Anil Murali, Aristo Suresh, Bindu Panicker, Sanuja Somanath and Kulappulli Leela, 50 flood victims have also acted in the film.
