was
planning
to
make

comeback
to
filmmaking
with
the
Fahadh
Faasil-Nayanthara
starrer,
Paattu.
However,
the
highly
anticipated
project
is
delayed
now
due
to
the
spike
in
COVID-19
cases
in
Kerala.
As
per
the
reports,
Paattu
demands
to
be
shot
with
a
large
crew
and
will
start
rolling
only
after
the
world
comes
back
to
normalcy.
