Anjana Jayaprakash Instagram – The journey of ‘Pachuvum AlbuthaVilakkum’ began years back in November 2019 when casting director @gayathrismitha sent me across two PDFs,one of them for a character called Dhwani.. Hamsadhwani. I recorded the scenes(quite enjoyed it,too) ,sent it across to her,later heard that the director was interested in meeting me. Me and @akhilsathyan met at the Amethyst , Chennai where we chatted quite jovially and talked a bit about the movie (very little!) I also learnt that the Pachu in the scenes was going to be portrayed by Fahadh Faasil. One look test,a global pandemic, multiple Covid lockdowns,scheduling issues, date clashes , sooo many uncertainties later ,the schedule finally resumed in 2022. That long and unpredictable journey came to an end when our film released two weeks back on 28th April. I realised somewhere along the way that characters do have their own destiny as to who will potray them and how. I guess Hamsadhwani & me were interwined by some invisible thread (that one audition clip 😛 and some universe magic ✨) I’m grateful to @akhilsathyan & @gayathrismitha for introducing me to Pachu’s beautiful world 😍 Also thank you to the entire production team,the direction team @aharon.mathai @rajivrajendaran_1 @cosky_posky @theerthamythry rakhesh rajan & @utharamenonstyling @sharan_velayudhan @vineeth_actor @radhakrishnan.anil ,Neethu ,Saji Chetan and of course to Fafa for helping me out with everything,the big and the small 🤗 Thank you to the audience for all the Hamsa love 😁 Do watch our heartfelt little Malayalam film ‘ Pachuvum AlbuthaVilakkum (Pachu and the Magic Lamp)’ in theatres nearby,both in India and abroad ❤️
