Description: After a two-year hiatus, Nivin Pauly, the hero-next-door, makes a comeback as Pavithran* in the romantic comedy *Kanakam Kaamini Kalaham (KKK)*. His previous role was in Geetu Mohandas’ intense film *Moothon*, where he portrayed Akbar, a ruthless and cynical character. Stepping away from the dark themes, Nivin plays a husband in KKK, Disney+Hotstar’s first Malayalam film, which releases soon. The story revolves around a couple dealing with ego issues and their journey to find solutions. Nivin shares, “It’s a slice of life that everyone can relate to. I wanted to bring laughter and humor during these challenging times.”
Directed by Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval, known for *Android Kunjappan Version 5.25*, and produced by Nivin under Pauly Jr. Pictures, the film features Vinay Forrt, Sudheesh, Joy Mathew, and Jaffar Idukki. Nivin explains, “When I heard the story, I felt it was a refreshing break from the negativity we’ve been surrounded by. I decided to produce it as well.” Comedy comes naturally to Nivin, and KKK was a comfortable project for him. “Ratheesh and I shared a great bond, enjoying the humor and lighter side of life,” he adds.
Filmed by Vinod Illampally in Ernakulam and Idukki under strict safety measures, the production wrapped up in December 2020. Nivin recalls, “We had to stay within a controlled environment to ensure everyone’s safety. Even one illness could’ve disrupted everything.”
