Malavika added, “Learned so much from the stalwarts- Mohanlal sir & Sathyan Sir. Just watching them, having them guide me, seeing how they bring cinematic magic to life, and all of this they do with so much of dignity and respect and grace.” Amid reminiscing about the cold evenings amid beautiful hills and the tea estates of Thekkady, the actress also had a special shout-out for Sathyan’s direction team, stating that it was the loveliest team of assistant directors, without whom, Hridayapoorvam would not be what it is.

Hridayapoorvam, meanwhile, is director Sathyan’s first collaboration with Mohanlal in a decade, their last being 2015’s Ennum Eppozhum. The director-actor combo has worked on films like Sanmanassullavarkku Samadhanam, Gandhinagar 2nd Street, T. P. Balagopalan M.A., Nadodikkatu, Pattana Pravesham, Varavelpu, Pingami, Rasathanthram, Innathe Chintha Vishayam, Snehaveedu, among others.

Not much is currently known about Hridayapoorvam, but given the director’s brand of cinema, the expectation is that it will be a wholesome family entertainer. The film is based on a story by the director’s son, Akhil Sathyan, with newbie TP Sonu credited with the screenplay.
