The director hopes that the film, starring Asif Ali and Rajisha Vijayan, will bring people to the theatres
In Malayalam, ‘ellam sheriyakum’ translates to ‘everything will be fine’. Director Jibu Jacob is pleased at how apt the title of his new film is in a post-pandemic world.
Starring Asif Ali and Rajisha Vijayan, the film hits the big screens on Friday (November 19). “I was waiting for theatres to reopen. But I was worried if the decision would cause financial loss to my producers. Now, my hope is ellam sheriyakum,” says Jibu, referring to the positive mood in the industry after the reopening of theatres.
He is pleased that Dulquer Salmaan-starrer Kurup has brought the audience back to cinemas. “Ours is not a star-driven movie. But there is confidence in the whole team with Kurup getting such an overwhelming response. We hope that the mood continues when our movie releases,” he says.
