Actress Nithya Menen has begun shooting for her new movie Kolambi directed by T K Rajeev Kumar. The duo had previously worked together on the 2012 movie Thalsamayam Oru Penkutty.
Earlier last month, the actress had posted on social media that she was heading to Trivandrum to start the movie. She also confirmed details about the crew. While Ravi Varman, who had previously worked with the director on the 1999 movie Jalamarmaram handles the camera, Resul Pookutty takes care of sound recording.
Calling it a ‘cute and feel good film’ on Facebook, the actress said in a The Times Of India report that she would be essaying the role of an artist in the film. “I play an artist, who comes to Kochi to install one of her works at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. It’s a beautiful story about an old couple and how they become a muse for her and her work. It also shows the relationship between the couple and the artist.”
