We are starting the journey of dearest @nambiarjayan’s debut film as director which was also supposed to be Sachy Ettan’s next – #vilayathbudha staring @therealprithvi written by #grindhugopan. It was a much-needed getaway and thanks so much to producer @sandipsenan and his brother @sangeethsenan for arranging it wonderfully. We were exploring the place, discovering artists, and trying to get an emotional connection to the place. So the journey to the land of Anjunaatukar begins…”Jakes Bejoy shared.

The rest of the cast and producers have all remained the same. So, his soul is very much attached to the film and we had also sought the blessings of his wife to go ahead with the movie after his demise,”.
