Nivin Pauly’s work front

Nivin Pauly recently hit the big screens with Sarvam Maya, directed by Akhil Sathyan. The feel-good horror comedy follows the story of Prabhendu, an atheist from a Hindu priest family who is also an aspiring musician.

When he returns to his ancestral home in Palakkad, Prabhendu joins his cousin Roopesh in performing ceremonies and earning money as a side hustle. However, after one such ceremony, he begins to experience the presence of an adorable spirit named Delulu, who has forgotten her own origins.

After the initial confusion, Prabhendu and Delulu embark on a journey to uncover her past, ultimately transforming him. Apart from Nivin Pauly, the film also stars Riya Shibu, Aju Varghese, Janardhanan, Preity Mukhundhan, and several others in key roles.

Recently, Pinkvilla exclusively reported that Nivin Pauly and Panorama Studios have joined hands for a multi-film deal worth Rs 100 crore. The first-of-its-kind agreement in Malayalam cinema will see the actor collaborating on multiple upcoming projects with Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, not only as an actor but also as a co-producer.
