'Raveendra Nee Evide' actress Sheelu Abraham: I've played a homemaker only a couple of times before but Bindu is grounded, family oriented
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actress Sheelu Abraham is all smiles as she speaks about her latest film 'Raveendra Nee Evide', which hit theatres this Friday. Starring opposite Anoop Menon , Sheelu promises the film is a 'humorous family entertainer' that leans on relatable everyday chaos rather than over-the-top drama. A marriage with laughs and suspicions In the film, Anoop Menon plays Raveendran, a meteorological department employee with a suspicious streak — particularly toward his wife, played by Sheelu. 'He's a husband who is always doubting his wife,' she shared during the press meet, 'but it's not heavy or dramatic. The humour is situational, and everyone around him brushes off his suspicions, which leads to a lot of light-hearted moments.' Sheelu, who's mostly played intense or professional roles in the past — doctors, lawyers, police officers — found the role of Bindu refreshing. 'I've played a homemaker only a couple of times before, in Pattabhiraman and Aadupuliyattam. Bindu is a more grounded, family-oriented character — quite different from what I usually do,' she explains. Comfort in familiar company This marks Sheelu's fourth film with Anoop Menon, and their second outing as an on-screen couple after Kanal. 'We share a good friendship and understanding, which really helps in front of the camera. There's a comfort level that makes performing easier,' she notes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo Also joining the cast is Dhyan Sreenivasan in a key role.

Music, writing, and more The film features two songs composed by Prakash Ulliyeri, with none other than Shankar Mahadevan and Hariharan lending their voices. A third song will be released exclusively on a video-sharing platform, keeping with the new-age promotional style. Raveendra Nee Evide - Official Trailer Sheelu also reunites with screenwriter Krishna Poojappura, known for his light, clever writing. 'His strength lies in subtle humour and strong character quirks,' she says. Directed by Manoj Palodan and produced by Abraham Mathew under Abaam Movies, 'Raveendra Nee Evide' aims to tick all the boxes for a clean, family-friendly entertainer.

Our film is a humourous family entertainer: Sheelu
Actress Sheelu Abraham , who plays the female lead in Raveendra Nee Evide , states that the film will be "a humorous family entertainer". In the film, she's paired opposite Anoop Menon , who plays Raveendran, an employee at the meteorological department. Sheelu continues, 'It is a family-centric film that explores the lives of Raveendran and his wife. He is a husband who is suspicious of his wife, but this is handled with a comedic undertone. In fact, everyone around him doesn't take his suspicions seriously either.' Stating that the film will resonate with family audiences, the actress opens up about her role. 'So far, I have portrayed professional characters like lawyers, police officers, and doctors. Here, I play a homemaker — a role I have taken up only in Pattabhiraman and Aadupuliyattam before. Bindu is different from the characters I have done so far,' she says. Speaking about her co-star Anoop Menon, she adds, 'This is our fourth film together and the second time we're paired opposite each other after Kanal . There's friendship and rapport between us, which makes us both comfortable when acting together.' Dhyan Sreenivasan also plays an important role in film. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo The film features two songs, composed by Prakash Ulliyeri.

'His comedies stand out because they focus on situational humour rather than forced comedy, short dialogues, and character mannerisms,' she states. On director Manoj Palodan , for whom this happens to his third film, she says, "He has a great sense of humour, and I hope this film paves the way for even more success for him.'
