Avastha Malayalam Movie

Head Constable Sudhakaran is an honest and responsible policeman. He lives with his grandmother and his only daughter Sreekutty, who is in her tenth standard. He pins great hopes on his daughter. One day a girl of his daughter's age is raped and murdered in his own village. Sudhakaran is filled with anxiety. Daily news reports in the papers of rapes and murders don't help. The fact that his daughter is left alone with his octogenarian grandmother even when he is on night duty adds to his anxiety. His grandmother's death pushes him over the edge.

Avastha is the debut directorial venture of N Sasidharan, who also does the script for the film which reflects the pathetic situation in today's society where toddlers and grannies are being sexually abused and murdered. Sasidharan, who has studied cinematography, has worked on several tele-films and documentaries. He has also worked as an assistant to some top-notch directors in Mollywood.

Saikumar has what promises to be a very memorable role to play in the film as Head Constable Sudhakaran, much like the role played by Salim Kumar in Achchanurangatha Veedu. The film has a host of young new artists playing the roles of Sudhakaran's daughter and her friends. Shooting is currently going on near Ottappalam.
