"Ottayavan" is an experimental musical short that was filmed in a day. Our storyline was inspired by a written Facebook post from around eight years ago, and we wanted to bring it to life. The idea resurfaced this year when a soulful track by Sushin Syam was released, which felt perfectly in sync with our vision, prompting us to shoot the film. Music credits and rights belong to Saregama Malayalam, and full credit goes to the composer Sushin Syam and the team behind the movie "Romancham."
