KOCHI: Kamala Suraiyya was jubilant as usual. The occasion was the puja of a short film based on her short story Kalyanathinte Thalennal.

Actor-director Sreenivasan lighted the traditional lamp marking the puja.

As usual, Dr. Suraiyya made some comments about the current political situation.

When asked about the possibility of V.S. Achuthanandan becoming the Chief Minister sans the Home portfolio, she quipped all might not be well with Mr. Achuthanandan's party.

She expressed hope that even if the Smart City project was not implemented, Mr. Achuthanandan might be able to give `smart' drinking water to the public.

The 20-minute film, produced by the Thrissur-based White Creations, will be directed by Jagesh, a director hailing from Ponnani.

The script will be written by Riyas, also from Ponnani. The shooting will begin by the end of June, most probably around Cherppulassery.

Though the actor for the main role is yet to be decided, Lakshmi Krishnamoorthy and the dubbing artiste Bhagyalakshmi will be among the cast.

The story deals with the incidents unfurling on the eve of the wedding day of a girl named Aparna. The incidents include her father who had disappeared a long time ago returning home.
