Rain Rain go away

I literally sang this rhyme while shooting Kunnimanikal. Because it either rained or was overcast all the 5 days of shooting.

For the 11 weeks I have been here, there has not been more than 7 days of total sunshine. I guess the mood will work. One of my friends said that for Malayalees, rain brings those nostalgic memories to us. This video needs all the nostalgia it can muster up. I'll know for sure when it gets to the editing table.

Today, let me present you the three actors in the video. They are real thespians. They come with plenty of stage experience. My method of work was new to them but they all enjoyed the work and in this short time, we had become very close friends. Here is Surendran, Sunil and Sajeevan.


Here are their counter parts (not in that order). Don't let the rustic appearance fool you. These are sharp kids. They all CAN act. I just needed to guide and tone them down a little. They are all 1st prize winners of the state youth festival drama competition.

Here is Arun, Shyam and Sandeep. Arun is also the winner of the best actor in state level.
