Nimisha Sajayan to play the heroine of Tovino Thomas in Oru Kuprasidha Payyan

Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum Movie fame Nimisha Sajayan will be next seen as Tovino Thomas’s heroine in the upcoming Malayalam movie Oru Kuprasidha Payyan. Oru Kuprasidha Payyan is directed by Madhupal. 

Nimisha is also the heroine of upcoming movie Eeda starring Shane Nigam. 

In an interview director, Madhupal said about the movie that, “The film is about a murder investigation. In our country, if one fine day, the police declare that someone is the culprit even without sufficient proof, the people are forced to believe it. So, any person can get framed for any crime these days and that’s the thread we are trying to explore in the film.” Madhupal has always chosen daring subjects based on true incidents for his directorials – be it Ozhimuri or Thalappavu. Oru Kuprasidha Payyan too follows the same trend and is inspired from several real-life murder cases in Kerala “that has shook the conscience of the people”.  
Madhupal also said that “A lot of real-life murder cases in Kerala have served as inspiration for the story,” adding that Jeevan Job Thomas has scripted the movie. On choosing Tovino for the movie, the director says, “It’s a role that requires the actor to go beyond the norm in terms of performance and characterization. I thought Tovino was apt for this role. It’s the same with casting Nimisha.” 

For Tovino, the movie will mark only the second time he’s teaming up with a veteran director, the previous being for Kamal’s Aami. The team will be first shooting a few scenes about Vaikom Ashtami. The major part of the filming though will only begin in February 2018. Lijomol Jose, Saranya Ponvannan, Alencier Ley, Nedumudi Venu, Sujith Shankar, Pasupathy, Saiju Kurup, Sudheer Karamana, Balu Varghese and G Suresh Kumar are playing prominent roles in the movie.
