Appu N Bhattathiri on making the cut as director with ‘Nizhal’

Nayanthara and Kunchacko Boban play the lead in Appu N Bhattathiri’s début film

Appu N Bhattathiri is living his dream when Nizhal (shadow) reaches cinemas today. A State award-winning editor, Appu and script writer S Sanjeev had been working and talking cinema, scripts and themes till it all fell in place during the lockdown. “That was when I was able to concentrate on my film and take it ahead as all editing work came to a temporary stop once I had finished the work on Maniyarayile Ashokan and Anugraheethan Antony, “ says Appu. Even while Anugraheethan Antony is playing in theatres, Appu directorial venture has also released. Rare distinction indeed for the 31-year-old cinemaphile.
