Mumbai:
Shweta
Menon,
former
Miss
India
runner-up
and
one
of
the
finest
actresses
in
the
Malayalam
film
industry
gave
birth
to
a
healthy
baby
girl
yesterday
(September
28)
at
5:27pm
in
Nanavati
Nursing
Home
in
Mumbai.
Shweta
Menon's
last
four
months
of
her
pregnancy,
delivery
and
her
early
motherhood
has
been
captured
by
the
camera
that
will
form
the
core
of
the
Malayalam
movie
Kalimannu,
directed
by
Blessy.
The
team
of
Kalimannu
took
utmost
care
and
positioned
three
cameras
in
the
labour
room
on
Thursday.
Before
Shweta
was
taken
to
the
labour
room
at
4.45
pm,
the
director
along
with
two
cameramen
and
Shweta's
husband
Srivatsan
Menon
were
present.
The
news
of
her
delivery
came
at
5.27
pm.
Speaking
to
TOI,
Blessy
said,
"The
camera
kept
rolling
for
about
45
minutes,
ending
with
a
scene
where
Shwetha
planted
a
gentle
kiss
on
the
newborn's
forehead."
Kalimannu
revolves
around
the
relationship
of
the
protagonist
(Shweta
Menon)
with
her
baby,
before
and
after
it
is
born.
The
film
is
expected
to
set
