Actor Renjit Shekar: I don't mind asking for a role
A breakout role is not easy to come by in films, and Renjit Shekar knows it. Therefore the success of the second season of the web series, Kerala Crime Files, means the world to the 36-year-old actor. In the series he plays civil police officer (CPO) police officer Praveen Chandran, who is part of a team investigating a missing fellow police officer and an ex-convict. Renjit says this is the first time that he got so many calls appreciating his work since he had his debut with Ottamurivelicham in 2017. 'It has been the most noticed role of my career till now and it means a lot.' The actor adds that the celebration of the success of the series held recently was a momentous occasion, especially with the presence of filmmaker Premkumar. 'He enjoyed the series so much that he had called our director [Ahammed Khabeer]. Screening the show in Tamil Nadu, perhaps a first for a Malayalam web series, was equally exciting.' He is one among several engineer-turned-actors in Malayalam cinema. The Thiruvananthapuram-native, who worked with companies such as NeST and Infosys, says he has been a film buff since his student days and used to shoot visuals on his handycam while pursuing his engineering. 'I wanted to get into movies but had no clue how to go about it. There weren't many auditions happening back then.' The turning point was meeting Rahul Riji Nair, his colleague at NesT. 'We had the same dreams. That eventually led to him directing Ottamurivelicham that bagged four Kerala State film awards.' Renjit went on act in Rahul's Dakini and Kho-Kho. 'The role in Kho-Kho (as the affable peon Sivaprasad) got me some attention, followed by my character in Geethu Unchained, one of the stories in the anthology, Freedom Fight. A scene in the latter, the one where Rajisha Vijayan swears at me, even became fodder for memes!' Rahul also cast him as the villain in Keedam, starring Rajisha. 'That was a challenging role. Many people told me that they did not recognise me in that character.' Cop act Renjit says it is sheer coincidence that he got three cop roles back to back — Thalavan, KCF and Flask. 'The characters are totally different from each other. The cop in Thalavan is the boy-next-door who admires Asif Ali's character, KCF's Praveen is efficient but blunt and the character in Flask is wily and sly.' Renjit stresses the OTT revolution has helped his career in a big way. 'Thanks to these platforms, people from other languages have seen my work. I once got a call from Lokesh Kanagaraj's assistant. He saw Kho-Kho on OTT and wanted to talk about it. It feels great when our films cross borders. Now I have friends and acquaintance in other film industries as well.' He adds web series gives an actor more scope to perform. 'I can add more layers to a character, which is not possible in films. In KCF there is a scene where I chat with my screen father. Actually that part does not contribute to the storyline at all. When I asked AK (director Ahammed Kabeer) about it, he said the scene would help to register my character a little more. He was right because those who called me mentioned that scene.' KCF is Renjit's 15th project and he admits that one has to always be raring to go to succeed in cinema. 'There are instances when you lose hope. This field is like that. I need the industry but the industry does not need me. So I should always be ready for the race. Rejection is part of the game. Putting in the hard work is important.' Renjit admits he is hesitant to promote himself and would rather let his work talk for him. 'I tell people to watch my work and then call me for audition. I am comfortable that way. I don't mind asking for a role in films. That is my job and I don't feel shy about it. However, I am not that keen on promoting myself on social media or other platforms.' Looking ahead, Renjit is thrilled about his next project, which is with the director-writer combo of Dinjith Ayyathan-Bahul Ramesh who made Kishkindha Kaandam, one of the acclaimed movies of 2024. 'Bahul is the writer of KCF and it was he who called me for the film. I am not allowed to say anything about the movie. But I am excited about it.' Kerala Crime Files Season 2 is streaming on JioHotstar.

Meet Jijesh S and Shaji Balaramapuram from Thiruvananthapuram who train animals and birds for the camera
Mask keeps extending his paw and refuses to let go once I touch him; while Simba is in his own world playing with a ball, Jo is like a fidgety child. This is a celebrity rendezvous for me. These canines have 'acted' in films, short films, ad films and television serials. Their latest claim to fame is the second season of the web series, Kerala Crime Files (KCF), directed by Ahammed Khabeer, streaming on JioHotstar. I 'meet' them on the first floor of an under-construction building, around 100 metres from the busy Balaramapuram junction in Thiruvananthapuram. There are seven other dogs, two Persian cats and Kathu, an indie cat, all of which belong to Jijesh S and Shaji Balaramapuram, who train animals and birds for the camera. Dogs are crucial to the narrative of KCF, an intriguing police story about a missing civil police officer and an ex-convict. While Simba, a labrador, plays Terry, a police dog with an incurable medical condition that becomes crucial in the investigation, Mask, an indie, appears in the CCTV footage as a stray dog, which eventually leads the police to the culprit. Jo, the beagle, is Roby, the pet of the character played by Arjun Radhakrishnan. It was overwhelming for Jijesh and Shaji when the dogs were mentioned in the end credits of the series, along with their photographs. 'We were elated when Mask was invited as chief guest at the success celebration of the series held in Kochi recently,' Jijesh says. Adds Shaji, 'Premkumar [director of Meiyazhagan and 96], a huge fan of the series, attended the event and asked specifically about Mask. He clicked photographs with him.' Mask is friendly and that worked to their advantage, Jijesh says. 'A difficult scene to execute was the one where Simba is taken to spot where a theft had taken place and he has to stay still when his handler pulls the leash. Since he was not familiar with the actors, that scene took some time,' says Shaji. The dogs are kept in this building, under the supervision of three employees when Jijesh and Shaji are away working. A few others are housed at their homes. The indies shown as stray dogs in KCF also belong to the duo. 'We trained them to move around like stray dogs. We take care of around 12 indie dogs, most of which are under the care of our friends,' Shaji adds. The indie dogs are either those rescued or adopted by them. Mask was around a year old when they found him on the roadside at Killippalam. Two others, Chill, who acted in Maranamass, and Maya, a 'junior artist' in KCF, were found in sacks on a rainy day, when they were barely a month old. 'We are also taking care of two indies as their owner passed away. We will start training them soon,' Shaji says. Jijesh points out that abandoned pups have to be given extra care. 'They need help to come out of the trauma. Training makes them confident and comfortable when they are in a crowd,' he says, citing the case of Mask. Shaji adds that since dogs are often scared of loud noise, they take them for walks along busy roads and by the railway tracks so that they get used to high decibel sounds during shoots and while travelling. Among the other 'actors' in the building are Brownie, a Chippiparai, a sighthound breed from Tamil Nadu. She 'acted' in Kanguva, Padakkalam, and will be seen in Prithviraj's upcoming release, Vilayath Buddha. The senior most of the lot is Tinku, a Labrador, whose health is failing because of his age. He has acted in Parava, Laika, and a few short films. He is one of the dogs housed at the shelter home in KCF. Shaji says that Chill was busy early this year. 'In the morning he was filming for Khusboo, a new movie, in Thiruvananthapuram and she had to be in Kochi for Maranamass in the evening.' Luca, the Great Dane, comes with a legacy! His father had acted in Pulimurugan, one of the biggest hits in Malayalam. Luca was in Panchavarnathatha and a few other movies. Besides dogs, the duo has been training cats, horses, bull, goats, birds, ferret etc for movies. They have provided a bull and horses for Tovino Thomas' ongoing production, Pallichattambi. 'Tarantula, hedgehog and snow glider are among the exotic animals in our keep,' Jijesh says. Until last year, the duo worked separately. Jijesh has been a dog trainer for over 15 years. 'Since I loved dogs, my father had got me a book on how to train dogs when I was in school. When I got my first dog, a cross between indie and Pomeranian, I tried the methods on him, and later on my labrador. Later, I trained a friend's dog and there has been no looking back.' YouTube tutorials and books have come handy while training other animals and birds, Jijesh says. 'Once you know the base you can work around that. Each animal or bird is a challenge. But if you are willing to spend as much time with it, the task becomes smooth.' Shaji also has been a pet lover from childhood. 'An inspiration has been Sanjayan KP, veteran dog trainer who was with the BSF. I used to watch his videos and tried that on my dog. Later I bought a horse and trained it. I sought the help of a friend in Mysore when I had to do verticals,' says Shaji, 48. His major works are Pulimurugan, Parava, Panchavarnathatha in which he trained several animals, including emu, horse, donkey, camel, goat, iguana, etc, Kayamkulam Kochunni and Uriyadi. In Poovan he trained a rooster for the first time. 'I came across this fiesty rooster in my neighbourhood, who was sold to a meat shop after his owner had enough of him. However, I paid a hefty amount to buy him and named him Mani. Initially, it was difficult even to catch him. But eventually he became friendly. In Poovan, he would crow at any time I commanded, provided we gave him treats! Mani was also in the web series Perilloor Premier League,' says Shaji, who has also acted in a few films. For Jijesh, 43, the big ticket to cinema was Valatty, in which he trained the dogs that played the main characters. His other projects include Sufiyum Sujathayum, Anveshippin Kandethum, Nna Thaan Case Kodu, Rudhiram, Kanakarajyam, Malayankunju and the web series Masterpeace in which Jo has acted. It was on the sets of Kanguva (2024) that Shaji and Jijesh decided to work together. 'Shaji chettan had brought Brownie and I was there with a Rajapalayam dog that belonged to a client. We have known each other for years and felt that it would be good if we worked together,' Jijesh says. Together, they have worked in Maranamass, Ponman(trained the ducks), the sitcom Uppum Mulakum (Persian cats), Padakkalam, Oru Anveshanathinte Thudakkam, Bramayugam, Thudarum etc. 'We read the script before we start training the animals. There is always a risk especially when dogs have scenes on busy roads. The indie dogs are street smart and so they easily adapt if a situation arises whereas other breeds do not have the same reflexes,' Jijesh says. The profession gets risky for the trainers too. Shaji, for instance, once broke two ribs, when the buffalo he trained for the web series Perilloor Premier League, got scared during an action sequence and stamped him on the chest. The duo stresses that they send health reports of the animals to the Animal Welfare Board every three months. In spite of the challenges, the profession has its share of fun as well. Like, working with ferret in Bramayugam and rat in Malayalee from India and Rudhiram. 'It took time to tame the ferret. Books and videos helped. As for rat, I guide it using a rattle. It is one animal that never strays off the route once we teach it. We keep mealworms and superworms as well, which are often used as feed for our exotic pets. These worms are needed for scenes where they show decomposed bodies,' Jijesh says. Finally we are introduced to Iliana, the ball python, a star in several photoshoots and horror movies. 'She cannot be trained but can be tamed,' Shaji says.

Hesham Abdul Wahab Interview: 'Kerala Crime Files 2 has opened bigger doors for me'
In cinema, we often see actors talking about stereotyping since this tendency to be boxed into a particular kind of role hampers their desire to be versatile. Interestingly, these concerns extend to technicians as well. One such person is Hesham Abdul Wahab. The composer, who often operates in the feel-good space, is currently ecstatic about breaking the shackles with Kerala Crime Files 2 (KCF 2), an investigative thriller series. "I've always loved the thriller genre and enjoyed working on them. I've worked on films like Chuzhal, Ini Utharam, and the first season of KCF. The reception for the new season has been highly encouraging, and I consider it a validation of all my efforts. It's a massive confidence booster as I feel I don't have to prove my versatility anymore," says Hesham with glee. As the JioHotstar series continues to garner a largely positive response, we discuss with Hesham the added scope for music in the second season, its emotional layers, and his career in general.

Cinematographer-writer Bahul Ramesh on scripting the second season of the web series, ‘Kerala Crime Files'
Bahul Ramesh, who joined the list of cinematographers-cum-scriptwriters in Malayalam cinema with Kishkindha Kaandam, the acclaimed slow-burning thriller by Dinjith Ayyathan, is back again as scenarist with the second season of the web series, Kerala Crime Files: The Search for CPO Ambili Raju. Directed by Ahammed Khabeer, the series is being discussed for its taut screenplay, nuanced character arcs and novel themes. The action is set in the fictitious Kaniyarvila police station limits in Thiruvananthapuram. The officers posted there are being transferred because of their alleged nexus with criminals. When, Ambili Raju (Indrans), one of the cops, goes missing, the newly-appointed officers, Circle Inspector Kurian (Lal) and Sub Inspector Noble (Arjun Radhakrishnan) and their team start the investigation, which eventually leads to shocking revelations about Ambili and his special bond with an ex-convict Ayyappan (Harisree Ashokan). But as the narrative move towards the climax, more truths emerge, eventually leading to apprehending the culprit. In a free-wheeling conversation with MetroPlus, Bahul says that he did not put pressure on himself thinking it was the second season of a successful show. 'Ahammed ikka (Ahammed Khabeer, director of both seasons of KCF) contacted me in September 2023 asking if we could work on the new season. I had just finished Kishkindha Kaandam. He had only a month to pitch the story idea to the streaming platform. It is difficult for me to arrive at a thread just like that, my stories usually develop only once I start writing. I also wanted to give Ahammed enough time to find another story/writer if my idea did not work. However, he was confident and his only request was to include a few characters from the first season so that the viewers are reminded of the franchise,' Bahul says. Bahul became friends with Ahammed at LV Prasad College of Media Studies, Chennai, where he studied cinematography and Ahammed had done an internship. 'Even though he had interned much before I joined, we met through mutual friends. I looked forward to working with him, irrespective of the format or my designation. Jithin Stanislaus, the series' DOP, is also a senior,' he says. The writing for KCF did not involve a lot of research as many would think. 'I have put down the basic things I know, corroborated by what I read in the newspapers, saw on social media, or heard from others. There was no reference for the police characters. Once I finished the script, I fact-checked with experts and consulted a police officer who had helped Ahammed ikka in the first season. It was he who gave us the term passport adichu kitti, a phrase that the police use for transfer orders.' Bahul's expertise, when it comes to character development, is on show in KCF as it was in Kishkindha Kaandam. The way he peels layers of the characters is a mainstay of the story. However, Bahul stresses that it is not deliberate. 'I don't design my characters. The focus is on writing original dialogues and when I do that, the layers show as a byproduct of the process. I don't finalise the story and then write. The narrative develops as I work scene by scene,' he explains. In the context he mentions the scene where Ambili asks his daughter to go to Ayyappan's house and enquire about him. 'Her reluctance to go there hints at tension between the two characters. At the same time, I did not want the daughter's character to be one-dimensional. It was only after establishing this premise that I worked out the relation between Ambili and Ayyappan.' Bahul stresses that he was not concerned about adapting his writing to the web series format, especially arriving at a cliffhanger after each episode. 'I didn't follow that template. I wanted to keep it organic, without gimmicks. It was about pushing the envelope and arriving at a situation naturally, as I travelled with my characters.' In fact, he had 'an interesting way' to fix the duration of each episode. 'Ahammed ikka said that five episodes could be of 30 minutes, and the last one slightly longer. So, once I wrote the 40-page first episode, I gave it to my father to read. It took him 25 minutes and I gauged that it could be the approximate running time of that episode. That is how I got the meter to anchor my syntax. As I wrote each episode, I took it towards a conclusion, keeping that duration in mind, without twists or cliffhangers. Thus, each episode had an organic ending.' Now that deliberations are on about the 'show, don't tell' approach in the series, especially the climax, Bahul avers that he did not want to take the obvious route. 'It does not have an open ending. We have laid to rest all doubts, without stating the obvious. The answers lie in the final scene when Noble smiles, seeing the pack of dogs, thus declaring that his speculations were right.' Interestingly dogs are integral to the storyline and his exploration of the human-animal bond is heart warming. 'Their roles became important as I started working on the script. We had an expert who helped us execute scenes with the dogs. It was, obviously, difficult to make them act on demand. The director and DOP were patient enough to get the right shot.' About featuring a dog with a cognitive disability, Bahul says that he came across a scenario at a friend's house. 'They had a visually impaired dog. It was disturbing. But that's where I got the idea that a dog with a disability would be an interesting material for the series,' he says. Becoming a writer was a dream Bahul chose to keep on the back burner. 'I knew that scripting films was a gamble. Your story could get rejected and if chosen you don't know when it would become a film. So I decided to focus on cinematography, settle in that space, and then start writing scripts.' That opportunity came during during the lockdown, 'since there was nothing else to do. My first script was based on the theme of lockdown which Dinjith Ayyathan was keen to make into a film. That's when I came up with the story of Kishkindha Kaandam and he felt that we should make that first.' Bahul points out that he does not lose sleep over whether people like his scripts or not. 'I follow my instincts, my intuitions. I am open to correcting my mistakes. This attitude comes from parental conditioning. Thanks to my parents who never forced me to study. I have never been under pressure to perform well. They were happy with whatever marks I got. Once, on the eve of my Plus 1 exam, I was so nervous that I thought I would fail. I told my father this and asked if we could go watch a film. He was game and we watched the late evening show of In Ghost House Inn, which was the only movie playing in theatres then!' He is open to criticism as well. 'I want people to express their opinion, be it negative or positive. It is encouraging that they are at least thinking about it. I believe that such observations help in the growth of the content. Sometimes they surprise me with findings that I had never thought of. It is motivating when someone points out that I have tried to do something different. I never wanted to fall back on something that was easy, convenient or formulaic.' Meanwhile, he has finished the shoot for Dinjith's next movie, starring Sandeep Pradeep, due for release later this year.

Kerala Crime Files Season 2 review: Aju Varghese and Lal return in a sequel that's just as gripping as Season 1, if not better
Kerala Crime Files Season 2 review: Creating a sequel to a series that has impressed viewers is no easy task. It becomes even more challenging when it's planned as an episodic sequel. Although the characters and, to an extent, the setting and tone, may remain the same as the first part, the new installment is built entirely from scratch. It's almost like restarting a race from the starting line after having already run half the track. In the case of Kerala Crime Files Season 2, director Ahammed Khabeer has attempted something similar, completely setting aside the story and hangover of 'Shiju, Parayil Veedu, Neendakara' (the case explored in Season 1) to focus instead on the 'Search for CPO Ambili Raju'. Unlike Season 1, where we were introduced to the central crime in the very first sequence, Kerala Crime Files (KCF) Season 2 takes its time to settle into its world, brilliantly resisting the urge to push viewers to the edge of their seats at the earliest opportunity itself. Throughout the show, writer Bahul Ramesh and director Ahammed Khabeer maintain a steady tempo in the unravelling of the story, and, as a result, the investigation that forms its core. Unlike typical recent mystery films/shows that rely on constant twists and adrenaline-fueled moments to keep audiences on their toes, Kerala Crime Files Season 2 progresses at the deliberate pace set by Bahul and Ahammed at the outset itself, allowing the story to develop organically. Without overt exposition, Kerala Crime Files Season 2 introduces and gradually fleshes out its characters, revealing enough about them through their actions and reactions rather than spoon-feeding the viewers all the time. From the moment we meet CPO Ambili Raju (Indrans), we are given fragments to piece together to understand who he is. Despite being just a CPO at the fictional Kaniyarvila station, Ambili commands significant influence, even over anti-social elements and criminals, thanks to his fearlessness and supposed straightforward nature. But when a departmental reshuffle begins, thus transferring officers with questionable records and illicit ties to other stations, Ambili learns he, too, might be affected. However, before any official communication reaches him, he mysteriously disappears, prompting the newly appointed SHO Kurian Avaran (Lal) and SI Noble (Arjun Radhakrishnan) to launch an investigation. As the case unfolds, the officers make more and more startling revelations about Ambili, thus creating suspicions among them that his ex-wife's current husband, Ayyappan (Harisree Asokan), an ex-convict, might be involved in his disappearance. As the probe crosses district borders, Kurian's former colleague Manoj Sreedharan (Aju Varghese), now stationed in Ernakulam district, also steps in. The remainder of the show follows their efforts to unravel the mystery behind CPO Ambili Raju's disappearance. The strength of Kerala Crime Files Season 2 lies in the brilliant way Bahul Ramesh has crafted the narrative, stripping it of unnecessary commercialisation. Take the cliffhangers at the end of each episode, for instance. The first five episodes, out of a total of six, end on intriguing and compelling notes, yet none of them feels contrived. This is mainly because Bahul has deliberately avoided manufacturing hooks just for the sake of suspense. Instead, he has elevated key moments in the narrative organically, prompting viewers to move on to the next episode out of genuine curiosity, creating in them a sense of eagerness to piece together the puzzle and uncover the full picture. Though the script has not reached the spellbinding heights of his work in Kishkindha Kaandam (2024), Bahul ensures that the audience remains emotionally invested, not just in the investigation, but in the broader story and the dramatic aspects too. This is particularly effective because most of the new characters are exceptionally layered and have grey shades as well, and Bahul has completely avoided conveniently painting them in black or white. His skill in crafting strong character arcs, without rushing, and allowing them ample space to unfold naturally is evident here as well. Not just Ambili or Ayyappan, but even supporting characters like Jaismon (Sirajudheen Nazar), the Aashraya Dog Retirement Home in-charge (Jeo Baby) and Dr Raveena (Shibla Fara) are developed with care, without resorting to forced moments just to establish the multiple facets of their characters. However, the one area where Bahul has, unfortunately, stumbled is in the characterisation of Noble, who feels oddly disconnected from the otherwise layered narrative, as if a flat character was plucked from another story and inserted into this one. For example, right from the beginning, we're repeatedly told that Noble is into sports and was a volleyball player. This detail is mentioned multiple times. But in all honesty, it never becomes relevant to the narrative. Although this is his first posting in law and order, the script fails to meaningfully explore his inexperience, rendering the early detailing somewhat pointless. Instead, he's presented for the most part as a capable, though inexpert, officer who rarely makes mistakes. That said, Bahul refrains from giving even Noble any 'superpowers' to draw conclusions out of thin air. He ensures that the officers, much like in real life, unravel each clue slowly, building the investigation step by step. Simultaneously, the way Bahul and Ahammed have shaped the show's narrative and visual language is so effective that, even though we never actually see what happened to Ambili Raju in the end, we are still able to clearly grasp the full picture, thanks to how essential details are woven in at just the right moments. However, if you ask me whether it answers every doubt, I wouldn't give it a full thumbs-up. This season too reinforces the feeling that Ahammed Khabeer truly knows these officers and this setting, as if he has worked alongside them in real life. However, unlike Season 1, where we also witnessed characters at their most vulnerable, Kerala Crime Files Season 2 reserves such emotional depth mostly for the newly introduced ones. As a result, those like Kurian and Manoj come across as flat, and only those viewers who've seen the first season will understand their layers. Those who started watching the show from Season 2 might feel these characters lack depth. Lal and Aju, much like in Season 1, deliver brilliant and precise performances, as if the characters never actually left them. While the writing doesn't offer them the same breadth and depth as the previous installment, both actors still do a splendid job in their respective parts. Arjun Radhakrishnan, whose earlier work included some stiff and manufactured performances (most notably the jarring one in Identity), shows significant improvement here, slipping smoothly into the skin of Noble. Though his dialogue delivery occasionally comes off as too rigid, he compensates for it with his subtle and effective body language. Veterans are veterans for a reason, and Indrans and Harisree Asokan prove that here. Not only do they excel in their respective roles, but when they share the screen in a flashback scene at Ayyappan's home, their chemistry is electric; an example of two masters at work. At several moments, even their glances communicate more than what pages of dialogue could have. At the end of Episode 6, as the credits roll, Kerala Crime Files Season 2 acknowledges the dogs who played key roles in the show. Had the makers not done that, it would have been a serious disrespect. These canine buddies, particularly Simba (Terry), Jo (Robby) and Honey (Tippu), deliver such convincing performances that it's impossible to believe that they aren't professionals. While the new season is technically solid, just like the first, there are moments when Jithin Stanislaus' cinematography and Srik Varier's colouring (an issue present in Season 1 as well) feel artificial. Several close-up shots appear amateurish, and the unnecessary delay in ending some random shots, for dramatic effect, detracts from the viewing experience. Hesham Abdul Wahab's score, though largely good, occasionally feels tonally mismatched, making the show veer towards a motivational drama vibe that doesn't align with the narrative.
