Kavyam getting ready for release

Kavyam, the Suresh Gopi-Navya Nair starrer which had started rolling almost ten months back and about which both Suresh Gopi and Navya Nair had been speaking words of praise, had got stuck due to unexplained reasons after a major chunk of it was filmed.

Directed by debutantes Aneesh Verma and Santhosh, the film tells a very sensitive story, with a traditional Namboothiri household, the Brahmamangalam 'Mana', as the backdrop. Kunjunni Namboothiri, a member of this ancient Brahmin family who had left his home early in life, returns after years. And when he returns, he has with him his young wife Umadevi and a child too.

Suresh Gopi sports a totally different appearance as Kunjunni Namboothiri. Navya Nair has a substantial role in the film as Umadevi. If on one hand Kavyam discusses the commercialization of Brahmanism, it also speaks about the status of women in society. The film is produced by Saji Kadambazhippuram under the banner of Sai Baba Films.

Along with Suresh Gopi and Navya Nair, Manoj K. Jayan too does a pivotal character in the film, which also has in the cast an impressive array of other artists. The latest news on Kavyam is that the makers, who are desperate to get the film released this year itself, have started working on it again.

It is also heard that the film may get released in 2008 itself, or in early January 2009 at the latest.
