Crew of Por
Por is written and directed by Bejoy Nambiar. However, like the rest of his works, the director collaborated with writers for the film. The screenplay has been penned by Bejoy Nambiar, Mithila Hegde, Francis Thomas and Neil Julian Balthazar, with dialogues written by Vignesh Srikanth. Anirudh Ramesh and Saraswati L have worked on the additional screenplay. Por is produced by T-Series and Bejoy Nambiar. The film is edited by Priyank Prem Kumar, and shot by Jimshi Khalid and Presley Oscar D'souza.
What does the cast have to say about Por?
In an earlier conversation with OTTplay, Bejoy said that he had no reference point for Por a nd added that the film's main target audience is college-going youngsters and urban centres. Calling it also entertaining, Bejoy said that the film will explore the psyche of male ego through the lens of the two protagonists.
Concurring with the same, Arjun also revealed how he was determined to play the calm and level-headed Prabhu in the film as opposed to the angry young man played by Kalidas. The actor also said that he tries to spend time with the directors he works with to understand the role, and he applied the same process to Por as well.
