Director Krishand is back and this time, he’s helming a film titled Masthishka Maranam (A Frankenbiting of Simon’s Memories). The makers of the film made the announcement on Sunday along with the film’s first look posters.
The cyberpunk-inspired first look images feature the actors in VR headsets and futuristic gear. While one of them featured Rajisha Vijayan and Niranj Maniyanpilla Raju, others featured Vishnu Agasthya, All We Imagine As Light actor Divya Prabha, Jagadish, Suresh Krishna, Ann Saleem, and Rahul Rajagopal.
The film also stars Nandu, Santhy Balachandran, Zhins Shan, Manoj Kana, Sreenath Babu, Anoop Mohandas, and Jain Andrews.
Interestingly, the film was previously showcased at the second edition of India’s Cinevesture International Film Festival (CIFF) as part of the CinéV-CHD Market lineup, which featured 22 projects from both emerging and established filmmakers. Masthishka Maranam is said to be a mind-bending comedy thriller that follows a grieving father who enters a virtual reality memory game in an attempt to reconnect with his lost child.
The film is bankrolled by Vinayaka Ajith under the banner of Ajith Vijayaka Films, in association with Krishand Films. Masthishka Maranams’s technical crew consists of cinematographer Prayag Mukundan and music director Varkey, with art direction by Krishand and Alvin Joseph.
