The much-awaited Malayalam film Prathichaya is gearing up for its grand theatrical release, and the team recently held an extensive press meet to share insights into this emotional political drama. Director B. Unnikrishnan, alongside lead actor Nivin Pauly and veteran performer Harisree Ashokan, addressed the media regarding the film’s core themes, which revolve around a deep father-son relationship set against the backdrop of Kerala’s vibrant political landscape. The director emphasized that while politics provides the setting, the heart of the story lies in the private lives and emotional conflicts of the characters, making it a relatable family drama for all sections of the audience.
