At the time of the conversation, filming hadn't even begun, and I'm not sure if I sensed confidence in his voice, but after having seen Njan Prakashan, I must say that I didn't expect it to be this good. When Anthikad first announced Njan Prakashan with a different title - 'Malayali' - he told me it would be in the same vein as some of his yesteryear classics. Anthikad's detractors have often criticised him for making the same film over and over again - mostly the story of a common man - and not keeping up with the times. Njan Prakashan doesn't see Anthikad upgrading himself - yes, at times it feels like a rehash of some of his earlier films - but what works hugely to his advantage is a group of incredibly talented actors comprising Fahadh Faasil, Nikhila Vimal, Devika Sanjay, and the writer himself, Sreenivasan.
