In a rare moment of vulnerability, acclaimed editor-turned-director Manu Anthony penned an emotional tribute to the pint-sized performers who lit up the sets of ‘Aja:Sundari’. The Chennai-based filmmaker shared vibrant photos on Instagram, highlighting how the children’s vivacious spirits elevated the entire production.
‘Your energy and laughter made our set truly special, and that magic will captivate audiences on the big screen,’ Anthony noted in his post, while appreciating the casting team’s keen eye. This comes hot on the heels of the film’s successful wrap-up, featuring Joju George in the pivotal role.
Ashik Abu, who wore multiple hats as producer and cinematographer, posted his own message of thanks to the dedicated crew and cast. Anticipation is building for ‘Aja:Sundari’s’ cinema release, with audiences eager for Anthony’s directorial debut.
Known for his razor-sharp editing in hits like ‘Pani’, Anthony scripted, edited, and helmed this project. A team snapshot from October last year symbolized the collaborative spirit: ‘Sun, sweat, smiles – and one common dream.’
The film’s technical backbone is robust – DrumYuga composes the score, Ajayan Chalissery crafts production design, Mithun Chalissery oversees art, Masher Hamza designs costumes, and Robin masters the action choreography. ‘Aja:Sundari’ blends stellar acting with top-tier craftsmanship, setting the stage for box-office success.
