Ace director Shaji.N Karun completed the second schedule of his off-beat Mammootty film Kuttysranku, in Chavara and Sasthankotta near Kollam. Mammootty was thrilled by his experience in working for Shaji.
The master actor says: " It is a different role that I'm enacting in Kuttysranku. The film moves with the memories of three women, which itself is a different method of story telling. The story takes place in three decades in three different islands and revolves around Kuttysranku' s relationship with the three women who come into his life. Shaji has tried to bring some magical realism into the film."
Mammootty is working for the first time with Shaji as a director. In the early 80's Shaji has worked as a cameraman in Mammootty films like Padmarajan's classic Kooduevide and Arapatta Ketiya Gramam.
The actor is all praise for Shaji, the master director. " He has a special knack in getting the best out of me. We have some kind of chemistry which has worked well for the film. There is a freshness about the film, which has made the actor in me work overtime. Do you know in a scene I do a Chavittunadakam (street play) and sing a song? As an actor, I'm very pleased with the way the film has shaped out."
Mammootty has three heroines in the film- Kamalinee Mukherji, Padmapriya and Meenakumari (in pic). There is a fourth lady in camerawoman Anjali Shukla, a former assistant of Santosh Sivan. Anjali's camera is said to be one of the highlights of Kuttysranku
