The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has now cleared director Akhil Sathyan's eagerly awaited horror comedy, 'Sarvam Maya', featuring actor Nivin Pauly in the lead, for release with a clean 'U' certificate. Taking to his X timeline, Nivin Pauly said,"Sarvam Clean..!!!! Sarvam Maya in theatres from 25th December" and shared a poster that showed that the film had been certified 'U' by the Censor Board.
It may be recalled that the unit had completed the film's shooting last month. A teaser released by the makers recently added to the excitement of fans and film buffs. The teaser released shows Nivin Pauly investigating every single room of a traditional house on a night when a thunderstorm threatens to break out.
It is evident that he wants to be doubly sure that there is nobody else in the premises. He looks under the bed, at the ceiling, and into cupboards, reassuring himself saying,"Okay". The teaser also shows him spending time happily with Aju Varghese on a beautiful morning.
For the unaware, Nivin Pauly plays the lead in director Akhil Sathyan's upcoming horror-comedy 'Sarvam Maya'. The film, which has triggered huge expectations, is to release for Christmas in December this year. Priety Mukundhan, who impressed with her fantastic performance in the recently released Pan-Indian film 'Kannappa', plays the female lead in this entertainer.
Apart from Nivin Pauly and Priety Mukhundan, the horror comedy will also feature Aju Varghese in a pivotal role. Sources had told IANS in July that the unit had already shot for around 30 days and that its major schedules were at Ernakulam and Palakkad in Kerala.
Akhil Sathyan, the director of the film, is the son of one of India's legendary filmmakers Sathyan Anthikad and has delivered critically acclaimed films like Paachuvum Albhuthavilakkum. Music for 'Sarvam Maya' is by Justin Prabhakaran and art direction is by the very experienced Rajeevan. Cinematography for the film is by Sharan Velayudhan Nair, who was also the cameraman for the critically acclaimed 'Sookshmadarshini'.
