16 days ago | 5 Views
Dhyan Sreenivasan emphasizes the importance of managing audience expectations regarding his film, urging viewers not to approach the theaters with overly high hopes to avoid potential disappointment. He prefers that audiences perceive the film as a modest production, centered around a narrative that unfolds over the course of a single night. “The story addresses certain issues that arise within one night, and the resolution of these issues forms the core of Aap Kaise Ho,” Dhyan stated during the film's final media briefing prior to its release. The trailer suggests that the plot centers on the bachelor party of Dhyan Sreenivasan’s character and the ensuing complications.
Dhyan notes that narratives confined to a few hours are relatively rare in Malayalam cinema, highlighting the inherent risks of such storytelling, particularly with a large cast, as it limits the opportunity to develop most characters. “In a story set over one night, you immediately dive into the central incident. For Aap Kaise Ho, the inspiration came from an event involving a friend, which intrigued me and led me to consider how it might be portrayed on screen,” the actor-writer elaborated.
Furthermore, Dhyan clarified that Aap Kaise Ho is not intended to be a full-fledged comedy, although it does incorporate relatable situational humor. “Despite having a considerable ensemble cast, it remains a small film with limited resources for extensive promotional efforts. Productions like ours rely on the gradual spread of word-of-mouth, and we hope that audiences will give it the opportunity it merits,” he remarked.
The film also features Dhyan’s father, the esteemed actor Sreenivasan, alongside Aju Varghese, Ramesh Pisharody, Saiju Kurup, Sudheesh, Jeeva Joseph, Surabhi, Divyadarshan, Jude Anthany Joseph, Tanvi Ram, Sanju Sivram, and others.
