New Delhi:
Parvathy Thiruvothu who won the Best Actress award Ullozhukku at the Melbourne International Film Festival (IIFM), has opened up about how the film affected him emotionally. In an interaction with NDTV’s Abira Dhar, Parvathy shared her “first thought” for the psychological drama when director Christo Tomy narrated the script. “The first thought I had when I listened to Christo’s story, the first time, I think in late 2018, was that I heard it and he left and I was like ‘oh this is going to be a lot of therapy bills.’ ‘. That was one of my first thoughts. If I had to put it on and it didn’t result in therapy bills, it was definitely one of those experiences where even if I wanted to, I couldn’t sit back and relax,” she said.

Ullozhukku revolves around a family unable to bury their loved one due to flooding. The situation forces the members to face lies and secrets, which threatens their unity.

It took so many years to come out. The edited version of it. These years our have had to really beg, swim and fight.
