    I love making films. :)

    1. I grew up in the US, but always watched Malayalam films. But my favorite was always Bharathan sir. When I saw Amaram for the first time, its when I knew that I wanted to be a director. That film had such an impact on me (and so many other people I assume).

    2. I don't classify them as commercial or class(ics), but just doing films that interest me, and things that I can relate to. For me, its always been natural comedy with a little substance underneath it.

    3. I would love to do more Malayalam films. Growing up in the US, Malayalam films were the only thing that I had to keep me connected to Kerala.

    Thank you. Belated xmas to you too :)

    1. Yes, going abroad always makes the cost higher, but to compensate that we tried to minimize the cost in the US by getting a very small crew. Our crew was made up of less than 25 people. And we shot the entire film in 24 days.

    2. Yes, always writing. I have another TV series in the works and another film that I hope to do next year.

    3. We wanted to take our time with the post production work. I have to thank my producer for that who gave me so much freedom for post production to really nail the music / color / sound design. Hope it all works out :)

    Yes :) I was born in Adoor, I moved to the US when I was 4 years old. Have been living in the US ever since. I did however go back to Kerala to Mar Ivanios college for a short time. Now, I live with my wife and my 2 year old daughter in New Jersey and spend a lot of my time in Cochin now :)

    I have a business degree, and worked for a for a bit at Unilever, but I quit because I really wanted to focus on films. My parents were supporting, so I started shooting AK at my parents house. Eventually, the AK team took over the house and I had Painted every room a different color so it looks good on camera, but it looked horrible in real life (Green & blue & pink).
