After premiering in the competition section of the New York Indian Film Festival, director Rahul Riji Nair’s Kalla Nottam is set to compete at the Kolkata International Film Festival, which is slated to begin on November 5.

The experimental film, which has a runtime of around 75 mins, features three child actors — Vasudev Sajeesh Marar, Suryadev Sajeesh Marar, and Ansu Maria Thomas — aside from Renjith Sekhar Nair, Vinitha Koshy, Vijay Induchoodan, PJ Unnikrishnan, and others. The makers released the trailer recently.

Kalla Nottam revolves around two cinema-obsessed kids who steal a digital camera to make a film, but stumble upon a moral policing situation which reveals a few harsh truths about some of the grown-ups. The film is shot entirely with a GoPro camera, a first for Malayalam cinema.

Rahul previously directed the state award-winning film Ottamuri Velicham and the comedy-drama Dakini. He has completed shooting his new sports drama, Kho Kho, starring Rajisha Vijayan.
