starring

From
the
motion
poster
that
was
revealed
by
leading
lady
Aishwarya
Lekshmi,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
and
the
other
team
members,
it
is
evident
that
Kumari
has
both
the
elements
of
myth
and
horror.
Supriya
Menon,
the
journalist-film
producer
is
bringing
the
promising
project
to
the
theatres,
under
her
home
banner
Prithviraj
Productions.
Aishwarya
Lekshmi,
who
is
extremely
excited
about
the
project,
took
to
her
official
social
media
pages
to
share
the
big
news.
In
her
post,
the
actress
confirmed
that
she
is
playing
the
titular
character
Kumari,
and
stated
that
the
story
of
the
movie
has
given
her
sleepless
nights.
The
highly
anticipated
project
is
expected
to
start
rolling
in
Northern
Kerala
in
March
2021.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
leading
daily,
director
Nirmal
Sahadev
confirmed
that
Kumari
is
not
a
gender-centric
film,
but
it
will
have
eight
main
characters.
The
male
lead
of
the
movie
will
be
revealed
very
soon.
The
filmmaker
also
revealed
that
the
leading
man
will
get
a
makeover
for
the
project.
According
to
Nirmal
Sahadev,
the
film
is
reminiscent
of
the
stories
that
his
mother
and
grandmother
told
him
in
his
childhood.
The
director
stated
that
Kumari
will
be
a
different
experience,
that
will
not
have
the
influence
of
the
usual
urban
settings.
Director
Nirmal
also
revealed
that
it
is
the
toughest
yet
most
fun
he
has
worked
on
so
far.
