When I heard this rare Kriti of Oothukkadu Kavi for the first time, it went deep into my mind and stayed as a sunken treasure. In fact, my mind was thinking of an apt location where this piece can be shot.
When we came to know of the wet land with a constant drizzle and the fresh green astmosphere in Vythiri, it was our instant choice for this mellifluous composition. Our entire crew had a feeling of fulfilled contentment after the recording was done.
Kudos to Bhairavi for dancing on the unsteady hanging bridge and slippery wet floors and our cameraman Lakshman, who has aptly and beautifully captured the marvel of the location.
Many thanks to the management of Vythiri Resorts, Wayanad who allowed us to shoot this soul-touching piece inside their scenic and serene property.
Love
