has
been
roped
in
to
star
in
forthcoming
Sufi
Paranja
Katha
(What
the
Sufi
said),
the
third
venture
of
director
Priyanandanan,
who
was
honoured
with
the

feature
film
award
for

at

Film
Awards.

Mukherjee
earlier

An
adaptation
of
famous
Malayalam
writer
K.P.
Ramanunni's
first
novel
with
the
same
title
(which
won
the
Kerala
Sahitya
Akademi
award
and
Edasseri
award),
Sufi
Paranja
Katha
is
the
fascinating
story
of
the
subtle
relationships
existing
between
Hindu
and
Muslim
families
in
Northern
Kerala
in
the
early
nineteenth
century.
The
plot
develops
around
the
marriage
between
Mammootty,
a
Muslim,
and
Karthy,
a
Hindu.
Karthy
(Sharbani
Mukherjee)
hails
from
a
Nair
family
and
converts
to
Islam
after
marriage.
But
she
is
still
unable
to
resist
the
customs
and
longings
of
her
original
religion.
The
message
of
Sufi
Paranja
Katha
is
that
no
one
is
free
from
his
or
her
cultural
heritage
of
generations,
irrespective
of
the
religion
that
one
chooses
in
adulthood.
The
film
has
already
started
shooting
in
Ottappalam,
Palakkad.

Antony,

and

Nair.

and
dialogues
are

by
the
novelist
himself,
while
camera
is
by
Hari
Nair.
Produced
by
Kayal
Films
in
association
with
US-based
Silicon
Media,
the
movie
is
expected
to
be
released
by
