Mallesham director teams up with star Bollywood director

After the award-winning biopic, Mallesham, filmmaker Raj Rachakonda has joined hands with acclaimed Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap to produce a Malayalam film, Paka – The River of Blood. The film is directed by Nithin Lukose, who was the sound designer for Mallesham.

The news is that Raj wanted to produce a film from one of the crew members of Mallesham who helped him immensely in making his first film. Out of the four scripts, he was narrated, Raj went with Nithin’s film titled PAKA and also approached Anurag who loved the script and came on board.

Paka is a tale of a river that swells with the blood of two feuding families and a young couple that tries to overcome this hatred with their love. The film has been selected for the 46th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIF).
