Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira Wins Love From Vipin Das

Following the film's OTT release, Vipin Das has taken to social media to appreciate the film's artistic depth and praised its bold storytelling. Taking to Instagram, he wrote, “Comanga!! Malayalam is the only industry that can deliver these kinds of concepts in movies. Whether it is cancer or depression, Altaf is one of the rarest directors who can narrate the subject satirically. How beautifully he packed and presented one of the most fearful situations called depression. I know that #oodumkuthirachaadumkuthira wasn't successful in theaters, but I'm damn sure that people will discover this movie after many years and will start talking about it. Altaf,man you deserve one of the top places among Malayalam new wave directors. Waiting for your next."

On the work front, Vipin Das is reuniting with Prithviraj Sukumaran for Santhosh Trophy which was launched with a traditional pooja ceremony in Edavattom, Kottayam, a month ago. The event saw the presence of the filmmaking team along with 60 newcomers making their acting debuts. Immediately following the rituals, shooting began in Edavattom, kicking off what is expected to be a 120-day schedule across Edavattom and Thiruvalla. This project also brings Prithviraj Sukumaran back together with director Vipin Das, following their collaboration on Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil (2024). The film is produced by Listin Stephen of Magic Frames and Supriya Menon of Prithviraj Productions.
